Today’s top story builds off of yesterday’s, further examining the obsession with bunker construction and doom-prepping that’s been building for years. This tragic story provides a window into the mind of a man who felt a bunker was necessary enough to spend millions of dollars on. C. Wesley Morgan is a former Kentucky lawmaker and owner of a liquor store emporium who felt during the early Obama years that this country was headed for catastrophe. Setting aside the super racist implications behind this thinking, Mr. Morgan poured millions of dollars and spent years working to ensure the safety of his family. He built a fortress in the Kentucky countryside with a bunker 26 feet underground providing 2,000 square feet of bedrooms and living space, a well-equipped food pantry, and a small arsenal of guns.
“My feelings were that we were going to have civil unrest because there was so much going on with Obama.”
-C. Wesley Morgan, bunker builder/racist garbage person
In February, Mr. Morgan woke up to find an armed intruder in his home who wound up killing one of his daughters before fleeing the house. A few days later the suspect was apprehended, and his motive for the killing was essentially bunker hunting. Many people are concerned with the direction the country is headed and so many more aren’t mentally stable enough to understand that we achieve more working together. Mr. Morgan’s tragic case serves to remind us that no amount of money can guarantee the safety of our loved ones. No structure, no matter how fortified or remote or well-stocked, is a promise of our wellbeing. Also, word to the wise, if you ever build a bunker, keep that shit a secret.
