Seeing as they’re currently occupying my couch, I’d say yes. ---

Ok I’ll say it. This guy, by his wife’s account, was constantly evangelizing. He was born again into a religion that calls itself Jewish yet accepts Jesus as their Lord and Savior. He equated Obama and Hitler because of the Iran nuclear deal. He made a point of attacking Islam with his Muslim co-worker. Farouk was clearly on a homicidal path and was eventually going to kill and no way I’m defending his actions but let’s face it: Thalasinos is a classic example of “he was asking for it”. ---

Nicholas Thalasinos was a bigoted troll, and I’d bring him back to life if I could. And if somebody killed **Scandic** , I’d say the same thing about him. ---

Scandic is an anti-Semite. Check out some of his other threads. ---

> [@CarnalK](#): > > You don’t know that. Maybe he hated him because he was an obnoxious asshole. Scandic argued that Donald Trump was unfit to be President because his Aryan daughter allowed a Jewish penis to penetrate her beautiful, blonde vagina. Does’t that sound like someone who has issues with Jews? ---

Yeah, I mistakenly thought who I was responding to was talking about Farouk. Scandic here seems like an idiot in his own right so I will bow out as far as defending him. ---

> [@Scandic](#): > > 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 OOOooooooh, I see. He made use of the 1st Amendment right to Free Speech that is a cherished part of being an American. And you- exercising YOUR right- disagree with his words. And you’re happy he is dead? Well. Aren’t you quite the American. :smack: ---

What, you never made it to the second grade? " Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me ". Please. The 2nd Amendment nutwings in this country are drowning in the blood of murder victims by gunfire. The most outraged and offended people who have had words hurled their way lay down in their beds in perfect health at night. Sorry pal, straw man. Straw fuckin’ man. ---

You infer I didn’t make it to 3rd grade and cite "Sticks and stones"to back yourself up? Ooookay. I’m sure to some degree Farouk thought he was “standing his ground”. So clearly this is a very complicated issue. ---

I find the OP’s sentiments abhorrent, as I believe most of us do, regardless of political affiliation or beliefs. Regardless of what this guy believed, I don’t want him to be dead, and especially not in such a horrible manner.
