I find the line “Property damage - Bullet hole in wall” fucking wild.

Upper wall or lower wall?

This is wild to read in 2025. It sounds like the case against him was legitimate because the case wasn’t able to be repealed, but most people today would barely blink at a no-bid contract finance bribe. We’re living in a post-shame world.
And I only know about this man from the press conference/suicide sections of this article, but he seemed intelligent and empathetic. Even if he was guilty of bribery, it’s tragic that he took his life.

Holy shit that’s nuts. The video is on archive.org if you’re crazy enough to look it up.

Pretty sure it’s the guy who offed himself on camera because of some politics stuff, I think involving a bribe

I believe that’s R. Budd Dwyer; he’s pulling a revolver out of that envelope just before shooting himself in the head.

Trump doing that would be dark?
we still joke how Hitler wasn’t that bad, because by the end he killed Hitler.

He would never do that, he’s too narcissistic. Let the copious amounts of Filet o Fish and lack of vegetables do him in. I’m sure that would be a lot more painful and miserable than an instant gunshot.

I don’t want him to die. I want him to be convicted, to be humiliated, and to suffer in prison.

It might be fast food. It might be ending civilization in a nuclear firestorm. Guess we’re gonna find out!

Narcissists commit suicide at a much greater rate than the general population, and it’s a good thing they do. They’re saving a bit of work for the rest of society.

A narcissist feels that no one else should have the honor of killing them other than themselves. A true narcissist death.

I think the dark part is that the punchline is a man who killed himself on live television

I will be disappointed if Trump dosent die infornt of a camera.
Mirshe@lemmy.world 1 month ago
The difference is that Dwyer did it on live television, in a highly publicized press statement. Cameras didn’t cut away.
IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Trump doing that would be so memeable though.
Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 1 month ago
There was another recent shooting that was caught on camera and was being meme’d before the end of the day.
HereIAm@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I don’t know anything about him or why he shot himself, but I remember it looked like he felt bad for scaring the the people in the room with the gun, and so quickly finished it off.
KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 1 month ago
He was a politician who was caught having accepted a bribe, basically, which seems bizarrely mundane today.He said something to the effect of “Don’t look, this will affect you” before he did it, too… petty self-aware for someone who’s about to kill themselves in front of a crowd.

Hey man, nice shot.
