Nicholas Thalasinos. A religious extremist and zionist that was of the opinion that Israel was above all other nation. He was also an pro-life activist that recently wrote this on the net: “WHY is the LIBERAL MEDIA so UPSET there is a SOCIOPATHIC KILLER in a Planned Parenthood office?!? INNOCENT BABIES are KILLED there EVERY DAY”. He more or less hated President Obama and was calles “anti-Muslim” by his [wife](http://http://nypost.com/2015/12/03/california-massacre-victim-ranted-about-muslims-on-facebook/?utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_source=NYPTwitter&utm_medium=SocialFlow).

Now he’s dead and of course “everybody” remember him as a loving caring father and college etc etc. 😕

But I won’t

This man could have been a loving father and friend to those who knew him, and have held “extreme” political views simultaneously.

I have been watching Fargo and reading online SD comments with interest about the show. A mysoginstic character named Dodd was recently killed in an episode. Most people seemed to view his death with pleasure. Dodd was a murderer, but most comments pointed to his mysoginy and racism as satisfactory excuses for Dodd’s death. Fargo is of course fiction, but with your post im seeing reality meet fantasy.

Im perhaps overthinking this but do I see a certain societal shift in recent years?

There are plenty of people I think better prematurely dead; and given world enough and time — and the guarantee of absolutely no penalty — I would no doubt cheerfully take them out myself. I wouldn’t be _pleased_ about their passing though; it’s unseemly to rejoice in others’ deaths.

Why not? By your account, he never harmed anyone. By your account, literally the worst thing we can say about him is _it’s a real shame he didn’t kill his co-worker._

So, he was kind of an asshole about some stuff. Who isn’t? Nothing he said merits what happened to him.

You obviously do

I’m glad this right-wing zionist-pig ended his live in this way. He practically saluted the maniac who went on a rampage in that abortion-clinic a few days ago

And as we all know, people who express opinions we disagree with deserve to die.

Whereas, if anything similar ever happens to you, we’ll all be really cut up about it :rolleyes:

I know you meant no harm, but the UK Is about a week behind the US and spoiler warnings would have been nice for something so recent.

You Good Sir, get an A+ for being a good and rightly Liberal for expressing your hate for Conservatives. And you get 5 gold stars for not only your rightly thinking on this matter but for starting this thread to brag about it and to make sure everyone knew you were a good and rightly Liberal. Huzzah to you Good Sir! I too wish everyone who disagreed with me was murdered in a fashion most foul.

Either this is world class satire or the OP is a world class fucking idiot. And to be clear, I find Thalasinos’s views to be disgusting for the most part.

You are no better than him, **Scandic** , you loathsome jackass.
