He's getting exactly what he wanted by having an article written about it and having it shared across social media. But wow, it feels so good that he got mocked in the process...

[–] alquicksilver@lemmy.world 65 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Right? Instead of publicizing his bullshit, we should be ignoring him whilst simultaneously hoping he runs into the wrong end of a lawnmower.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 20 points 5 months ago (1 children)

his haircut looks like he got in a fight with a lawnmower.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 18 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Looks like he and Kim Jong Un share a hairstylist.

Dude killed people and hes not in jail, and instead getting attention.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

In no way do I condone his actions, so let's start with that. Coulda, shoulda, whatever, is not what his trial was about.

Given the video evidence presented, he shot in self-defense. Given Washington state's law regarding self-defense, he shot in self-defense. Not going to replay it all, you can see for yourself.

All in all, it was a clusterfuck of biblical proportions. "Should have never happened.", isn't a legal doctrine. "He went looking for trouble and found it.", isn't a thing.

As to why we're still talking about this little maggot? Fuck if I know. I'd be the first to punch him in his fat face. I would happily spend the weekend in jail and lose on a battery charge.

Better amplify him by writing and article about him and linking to his Twitter.

Wouldn't want to just ignore him and let him fade into obscurity.

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago (3 children)

He won’t though. I guarantee he’ll be in federal office within 15 years

Goose stepping into the ~~White~~ Reich House to lick the Trump family boots

[–] root_beer@midwest.social 3 points 5 months ago

He wasn’t even fit for KP duty in the marines, so yeah, he’ll be the guy who replaces Ted Cruz

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 3 points 5 months ago

Because supporting him pisses of leftists. If everyone just ignored this dweeb instead of engaging with every stupid thing he does they'd stop giving him attention.

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 16 points 5 months ago

Following the same path/trajectory as the shitstain who murdered Trayvon Martin.

[–] benvars@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago

Good, he should be mocked

I’m of the opinion that this community is being ruined by you posting too many things that aren’t news.

[–] extremeboredom@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Just filter the unwanted user out of the posts you see. The app I use for Lemmy includes this feature. I use it to clean up my feed from gallowboob-type ubiquitous posters, as well as any headline that includes the words "slam," "slams," or "slammed." I can also eliminate any headline ending in a question mark, as the answer is an automatic "no," so the question is not worthy of my attention.
