It's gotten to the point where I don't even bother looking at any of the standard news outlets to find out about ongoing events - they're guaranteed to be drivelling about nothing at all.

He's consistently crazy and deluded right to the end - about what was to be expected really.

Holy crap, I thought they were just for show. If they're actually doing that then gently caress them, I hope they die too.

It's just 'boohoo that poor old poof and his silly fashion sense, he was a victim of the mob' I hate when people are driven by the media's latest video clips like that. The guy MADE victims for this last year, and surely before, and now he's the victim. Good grief.

At the end he's just a powerless, frightened old man - you'd have to be inhuman not to feel a touch of something at that. Still doesn't alter the fact that he entirely deserved his end for causing so much unnecessary death.

How can you feel empathy for someone who never had empathy or care for others?


That's one way I flatter myself that I'm different from him.

To be fair, at the outset of all of this I remember American top brass of some ilk doing the news talk show rounds and making a pretty clear statement that "if we actually enforce a no-fly zone, civilians are going to die, there's no way to do one without the other", with the implication that people needed to be aware of what it was that they were asking for.
