    To quote Marilyn Manson:

    "If you die when there’s no one watching,

    then your ratings drop and you’re forgotten.

    But if they kill you on their TV,

    You’re a martyr and a Lamb Of God. "

      Unfortunately, there is no hell. We need to make sure horrible people get their comeuppance here, on earth.

      Since it looks like he died near instantly, with no time to reflect on the damage he’d wrought, he basically escaped justice. On the plus side, he can’t do more damage. On the far larger negative side, he’s a martyr now.

      If I believed in hell, I would do a little dance.

      I believe that when you’re dead, that’s it, you’re gone. And rightly so since that guy was a massive piece of shit and by all morality, deserved to die. And then the way he got killed? THAT makes me ACTUALLY do a little dance.

      I can’t wait for you know who… I’m gonna go into the street and do a little dance. Maybe even a big dance and have a party that lasts a week

    It will likely happen before every football game this weekend.

    Fox News will then publish a pearl-clutching compilation of people booing at college football games, and Trump will use that to justify defunding those institutions further.

      i have a suggestion, and that’s that everyone going to one of these events, cue up Entry of the Gladiators by Julius Fucik, have multiple copies downloaded on your phone ready to go at whatever public event you’re at ready for that jackass’ moment of silence, and blare it out your phone. count down one two three then whoever’s ready plays at full volume. drown the motherfucker out.

      Makes me glad I stopped watching football years ago when it became clear that we were systematically destroying our childrens’ brains for a chance to destroy their brains further on TV as adults. All in the name of entertainment.

      No thanks.

    I think these fascists are trying to make him their “George Floyd”. But unlike what the death of George Floyd represented (a wake-up call and a rallying chant against authoritarisnism, bigotry, institutionalized racism, and police brutality), this is a complete farse and a mockery, completely devoid of any meaning. He died for nothing except to give us some hilarious memes to laugh our asses off for no more than a week

      Apparently, it’s this guy.

      Family members turned him in, because even his own family doesn’t want to harbour this bigot.

      And here’s a quick synopsis:

      He’s exactly who you’d think. I, for one, am shocked /s. I guess Charlie wasn’t Nazi enough or something (according to Nick Fuentes in past statements, Charlie was a bit too ‘woke’, but we don’t know this lunatic’s motives yet, so I’m just speculating).

        Not for nothing but we don’t know if he’s conservative or Republican at all. We know his family might be but we don’t know he is.

          Yeah, I hoped I was clear that some of this is speculation at this point.

          Based on the photos, though….

          I get we need to be extra cautious, but some things are a pretty clear pattern. If we find out he was a leftist dude radicalised by the centrism of Lawrence O’Donnell, I’ll actually be shocked.

      They’re claiming it’s their Reichstag fire… They have somehow achieved a negative grasp of history. As in measured on a scale of 1 through 10, these people have a score of -5

      to be fair this is also a wake up call for them.

      if they fuck around, they might find out.

      My fuckwit uncle’s response to comments about George Floyd was “well turns out he was an asshole.”

      So as long as someone’s an asshole, it’s okay to extra-judicially murder them.

    Got orders at work today to lower our flag to half staff in his honor. No mention of 9-11. This is a public school district :(
