I'm just... well, not necessarily happy, but satisfied that at least one shitgoblin who personally benefitted from countless tragedies was dealt the exact same blow he loved visiting on other people by proxy.
Just one person who profits from, let's not sugarcoat it, evil, taken out by his very own methods. I know most of the world is incredibly unjust, but just sometimes we get synchronicities like these that signal that, hey, there ARE consequences for being a terrible human being, and not all who deserve it get punishment... but it MIGHT happen any day and it might be YOU it happens to next.
That must be an incredibly sobering thought for people who have never heard "no" in their lives and have an army of servants at their beck and call.
From what I've seen so far of the conservative's reaction to this, it's been anything but sobering. :(
They are literally crying and showing empathy. It's not what Charlie would have wanted.
The ones I've seen are frothing at the mouth for even more violence against 'libtards' or whatever, despite nobody even knowing who did it or what the motive was.
I'm going with the theory that it was a jilted gay lover. It's as likely as anything else.
Speak for yourself, this is how I found out and it made my day.
