Double Flee A

Dale would like to ruin your enjoyment of the Thanksgiving holiday in favor of a better way of eating. Slow food vs. bland turkey. Thank me later.

Oh no! "No remorse from the sniper"? That sucks!! No guilt? If my ears could bleed they would bleed blood and cover the earth with my own disappointment for forty days and forty nights and you would hear the screams of tortured dismemberment of all hopes and dreams being choked away in a spinning realm of chaos and confusion!!
They did this a while back with McVeigh, the victims wanted him to cry and apologize before he died and they all felt cheated when he didn't. It was Orwellian at the time and it's Orwellian now... what's the fucking point here, people, you want him dead where he can't hurt you any more? Doable. But you want him to agree with you? You want him to essentially love big brother? That is so bad. And it's the headline. The story should be "Man sentenced to die, victims' families perversely seek repentance". If he didn't think they ought to die he wouldn't have shot them. It's too bad he didn't shoot all the people that think their feelings are worth more than killing someone over. The loss of identity is worse than death. McVeigh died as someone who believed something, it doesn't make him a hero, but it legitimizes (as far as he's concerned) his actions.
