OMG.
Kentucky lawmaker facing assault allegations kills himself
:eek:
Good riddance.
Is it the same Dan Johnson who put up photoshopped images of the Obamas that made them look like chimps? The same guy who literally wore the confederate flag? The same guy who was like super Christian?
Maybe the world is a better place without him?
Whatever happened to giving your troubles to God?
He was a pretty messed up guy, and clearly miserable. I’m certain that whoever taught him to base his self-esteem on his skin color did him no favors. He never learned to build self-esteem by doing good in the world. He didn’t learn to pick up some charity work or find another way to help his fellow man when he was feeling down.
This kind of hate-motivated lifestyle doesn’t lead to happiness. I’ve never known a happy bigot. And now with these charges before him, I’m sure he wasn’t up to facing the consequences of his actions.
A terrible waste of a life all around, but then he was wasting it before he ended it.
Yuck.
This guy was passing himself off as some type of “evangelical” pastor? Or did I misunderstand something. Because I don’t recall any church parties growing up where it would have been okay if the pastor showed up drunk and tried to finger-bang his teenage daughter’s friend.
Not. A. Single. One.
He had a lot in his past. Among them, he may have burned down his church in 2000.
Wait–are we sure that it wasn’t a Hadji that got him?
"…comparing Barack and Michelle Obama to monkeys. "
This is the first I’ve heard of him. The world will spin around without him, the shitbag.
And of course, he immediately reached for the gaslight and tried to pretend that really, his images weren’t racist … in fact, it would have been racist not to give “the same scrutiny” to the Obamas that other, whiter, presidents received.

It may have been a simple case of mistaken identity. In the dark and in his drunken state he probably thought he was trying to finger-bang his daughter.
Perfectly stated.
Killed himself on a bridge, huh? I hope drivers weren’t overly inconvenienced.
He was a disturbed horrible person. I’ll not grieve his death. Reaching the level of dancing on his grave? Can’t join in the party. Bin Laden he wasn’t.
Even horrible people often had those who loved them and who will grieve their passing. Condolences to any of those that exist. Suicide often screws up those left behind.
Hm. Apparently his “PTSD” is that 9/11 happened. Not that he was there or anything, just that it happened.
He claimed to have been there, and to have set up his own morgue, where he gave the last rites to every body pulled from the rubble. He may have also been receiving worker’s compensation benefits related to that claim.
I was wondering about that. Classy dude to the last …
My condolences to his family.
As for the man himself… well, I was raised to speak only good of the dead. He’s dead. Good.
How can he say “Heaven is my home”? Don’t people who commit suicide go to hell?
Oh right, he was a moron.
No maybe about it.
