cut off BK’s paws before stringing him up and setting him on fire, ultimately killing him

pleaded no contest

Not surprised, disgusted, but not surprised.

Who the fuck can even stomach that? This psychopath makes a better living than most.

Cruelty to animals is one of the few instances where I'm personally okay with unreasonably harsh punishments. Specifically cases like this. There's just no reason for it, no benefits, nothing was gained. It's just cruelty for the sake of cruelty, and anyone who's capable of doing that can, as far as I'm concerned, rot in prison or burn in hell. Alternately just treat them exactly like they treated the animals.

Yep. Just give them what they gave to BK.

The trick is not seeing another living creature as having meaningful emotions or pain. Like you said, you need to be a psychopath.

Who could have imagined the guy who defends the continued murder of schoolchildren being a sadistic psychopath? It's always the ones you most suspect.

No wonder he doesn't want background checks. Someone should check his burn barrel for bones.

[-] Arbiter@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

Jesus fucking Christ. That’s brutal.

[-] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

Cruelty to animals is by now pretty much a job requirement on the right, is it not?

Remember all those stories rich white people used to tell about the dangers of “gang initiation rites”? I guess that was a confession too

[-] Grimy@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

I'm sure he stopped torturing things now that he has access to all those weapons and all that money.

[-] LEDZeppelin@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

They’re eatin’ dwogs and cyats

Didn't think I'd have to say "it's always projection" about this one, yet here we are...

[This sentence would break terms of service.] [This sentence, in this context, would be illegal to post on any social media site.] [This sentence cannot be made using any mortal tongue.]

For some reason I read this headline as "NPR chief" and it was legitimately shocking to me that NPR would be run by someone so actively sadistic.

It being the leader of the NRA is much less shocking.

[-] dantheclamman@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

I thought it said NSA, which also could be plausible

[-] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 6 points 1 month ago

Is he a Haitian migrant? No? I for one am shocked.

[-] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

That checks out

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
