An accused serial killer who was executed for murder in Florida on Thursday used his final words to express support for President Trump after offering comfort to his family and his victims’ families.
It’s ok to not call them ‘the accused’ in the midst of an execution
I’m not trying to stand up for this guy but people have been wrongfully executed.
of the hill to die on, it has to a be a rapist, and a degenerate like yourself.
Good and evil are splitting clean. It is like a spiritual battle is forming.
Trump isn’t just a politician. He’s a symbol of pride, greed, and lies.
If you’re still backing him, you’ve picked your side.
The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months.
Revelations 13:5
Just quoting the bible, don’t mind me. I mean, it’s right there for all those bible thumpers that support him…
Best article on the Anti-Christ:
Could American Evangelicals Spot the Antichrist? Here Are the Biblical Predictions:
As if those that support him have read any of the bible
Or have any form of reading comprehension
Why do you think they need clergy to read it and interpret it for them? (Read: tell them who to hate)
An accused serial killer who was executed
LOLWUT
I’m personally happy that The Casanova Killer is now dead. Obviously The Hill didn’t notice The Innocence Project passed this guy right the fuck by.
I thought that was a little strange, but after looking it up, it’s probably a defensible phrasing.
He was only convicted of two murders, while the definition of “serial killer” is three+ murders (plus some other qualifiers). The list of other killings he was suspected of doing, but which were never proven or convicted, would put him in the serial killer category. So it’s fair, in a journalistic sense, to say he was “an accused serial killer.”
Ohhhh, OK that makes sense then. I believe he did do those other murders so yeah, accused serial killer fits.
A convicted murder, who was also suspected of being a serial killer, …
It’s almost as if clear and concise communication is effective
Hmmm, can you expand on this? Not sure I understand.
was executedwas allegedly executedModern journalism sucks. Can’t use affirmative voice for anything. Everything is “alleged” this and “sources say” that. Even with a concluded court case that has found proof of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt - the fairest way that we as a humanity have settled on for determining the truth or falsehood of questions like this - they still won’t say the words.
I think there are far bigger problems with modern journalism than being technically correct in favour of the affirmative voice.
Kindred spirits.
“What a LOSER. He got CAUGHT. NOTHING like me. Everyone says I’m the BEST of ALL TIME!”
Print up his name, face, title, and quote on every billboard in Florida. Let them know exactly what sort of people they align themselves with.
Not sure who this person murdered. If his victims were minorities he’d likely be cheered by the people of Florida.
Edit: I’m not up to date on who this killer was or the story behind him. Just commenting on what I know of Florida and its people.
Was it Hannibal Lecter?
You seriously think Hannibal Lecter would ever, even under penalty of torture, throw his support behind anyone as stupid as Drumpf? The only thing he respects is perspicacity and intellect. Even if (and oh what a ridiculous “if” this would be) Lecter deigned to believe in Fascism, the thought that he’d spend his last words on some other fucker? Laughable. Lecter’s last words would be him basking in his own superiority, listing off personal information and private details, showing just how much he knew about the people in the execution room, and picking at all of their insecurities, then he’d just smile and wait.
Thank you for the context. Excellent reference.
