Wow. Just the worst headline I could have encountered.

[–] Whirlygirl9@kbin.melroy.org 58 points 4 days ago (1 children)

my god the rage i have reading this.

[–] watson387@sopuli.xyz 22 points 4 days ago

Agree. This ranks with the most foul things a human can do.

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 35 points 4 days ago (2 children)

It’s stuff like this that really cause me to question religion. How can an all knowing, all loving, just God allow something like this to happen? Because free will?? Get fucking real. What free will does this child have now? Forced to live his life in sickness, an eternal stigma, his innocence ripped from him.

But they will tell you He has a plan. If this is part of his plan fuck him and his plan.

But like, bro, what if heaven is real, and you didn't believe?! What then, man?

/s I hate this place

[–] Microplasticbrain@lemm.ee 4 points 4 days ago

Well then we will be in a better place because all the demons will have been placed in "heaven"

[–] Marthirial@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Maybe, just maybe it is all bullshit and we humans are just garbage but good at making up fantasies and then believing them.

Welp he's gonna die quickly in prison once people find out. Word spreads fast and even if he's not in gen pop they'll find a way to get access to him.

In this particular case...

[–] neukenindekeuken@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Even in this case. It means that multiple systems have failed miserably. This is a byproduct of that.

Yes, he's a complete piece of shit that no by will likely miss and deserves the death sentence he's like going to get, but that means justice and the educational system are very, very broken right now.

obviously. But that's not a good thing overall

[–] hypnotoad__@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Agreed. I meant is a good thing in the context of this bad thing I suppose. But I agree with you.

[–] Jonnyprophet@lemmy.world -1 points 4 days ago

Some people are weak. He was probably high.

A sharpened toothbrush to the kidney... Let that be the judge.

Bobby McAffee was arrested after allegedly sexually assaulting a boy when the victim was 8.

I'll take shitty things named McAffee for $200 Alex

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Yes, we will also accept who is John MaAfee and what is McAffee antivirus for answer. But not as shitty as this asshole.

I vote we feed him into a woodchipper feet first. This is not a call to action. I disavow violence.

[–] tenchiken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 4 days ago

Totally just interest in the well being of an innocent hungry wood chipper... Can't let that poor thing starve.

Remember to help it chew slowly, it can choke if you feed it too fast. Should take quite some time but absolutely worth it for the overall good.

What a sad day to know how to read, just the title...

[–] motor_spirit@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

been thinking about the movie KIDS lately, time for a rewatch

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 2 points 4 days ago

Once was enough for me. Brutal movie.
