A thread on a beheading by Terminus Est? That’s oddly appropriate (though I’m starting to wonder what Terminus does for a hobby).

Well, to be fair, it’s not like that guy beheaded someone because he was angry about being on a bus. I bet if he’d been in a car, he’d have killed way more people.

Sorry, **Terminus** , but you were scooped in the other thread about the beheading. The next news we’ll probably be hearing is about three weeks from now, whether the guy accused of doing it is crazy or not (it seems funny to write “accused of doing it” when people saw him do it, but that’s the way the legal system works). I’m going to go out on a limb and say, “Crazy.”

I think that “batshit fucking butternuts crazy” is a conservative bet.
