The Karma bus is out there and making its rounds.

By Rob Janicki


For those who don't believe in Karma, you might want to rethink that belief after reading the following.

Remember the guy who drove through a Chick-fil-A back in 2011 and mercilessly berated a young girl working the drive through window, while capturing his despicable conduct on video and posting it to You Tube?  Well, here's the video reminder of Adam Mark Smith when he decided to shoot a video of the employee confrontation in his protest to Chick-fil-A's opposition to gay marriage.  Chick-fil-A never suggested they would not serve gays, only that their CEO was expressing his right to free speech in stating  his opposition to gay marriage.  Apparently free speech is only free when it is expressed by a liberal in a liberal talking point.


Smith was a CFO of a medical device manufacturer at the time of his now famous confrontation and earning a very tidy sum of $200,000 annually.  Smith was summarily fired for his behavior at Chick-fil-A by his employer at the time and shortly thereafter went to work for a second manufacturer, which subsequently fired Smith when the second employer found out about Smith's You Tube video, which had already gone viral.  The second employer was afraid that Smith might have a similar response to another liberal issue and simply did not want to go through that possibility

Now along comes the Karma bus, which appears to have run over Smith in an erie act of ironic consequences.  You see, Smith is still unemployed after almost three years and he and his family are on food stamps.  That may seem harsh to some, probably all liberals, but it must be remembered that Smith brought this issue upon himself by his own despicable behavior directed at an innocent young woman.

To be fair, Smith long ago apologized for his behavior toward the Chick-fil-A employee, Rachel Elizabeth.  However, Smith only apologized for the manner in which he confronted Elizabeth in his attack on Chick-fil-A's CEO, who publicly stated his opposition to gay marriage.  Apparently, the apology was not enough to satisfy the spirit of Karma, which is to say, what goes around, comes around.   Smith did what he did because he took it upon himself to cause Chick-fil-A to suffer for their CEO expressing his right to have a public opinion.

The Karma bus not only rolled over Smith once, it seems it went in reverse and rolled over him a second time.  Do you think Smith has learned anything from his actions?  For his family's sake, I hope he has learned that actions do, in fact, often have severe consequences and going out of one's way to hurt someone else may rebound with negative consequences.
