No I'm really not sorry. George Floyd was a father too, and before old Charlie had his personal turning point he called him a scumbag.

  I would encourage people to read the Wikipedia page on George Floyd. He was a complicated and flawed individual, who definitely did some bad things and didn’t make very good decisions all the time. But he tried to improve later in his life with mixed results (at least with regards to drug addiction), and that counts for something, I think.

  Derek Chauvin and Charlie Kirk, by comparison, tended to get worse as their lives went on. Chauvin may well have framed Floyd for a drug crime and Kirk espoused factually false information to millions of people just to gain fame and power in conservative circles.

  These people are not the same.

  Absolutely terrible. That’s just wrong. He gushed out the other side of his neck.

  The “he’s a father” line has got to be the most slave-morality, don’t-ask-questions, get back to work and serve the Economy, don’t make trouble for the system, obvious bullshit I’ve ever heard.

  One can make plenty of better arguments for why not to make fun of him posthumously, so why pick such a bad one? Oh right, because the vast majority of our society has never been educated to care about the logical validity of an argument, but only its emotional gut-feeling truthiness.

    Inability to use a condom doesn’t make anyone entitled to my sympathy.

      Not good, but better than that. Things like 'it still had time to stop being a piece of shit and return to his humanity"

      There are still much better ones for not, of course.

    He was a father, which means now his kids have a slightly better chance of not growing up to be complete pieces of shit.

  Giving your wife a crampie does not automatically make you a good person.
