The company is a hat company. Stetson hats announced they were pulling their products from the company’s shelves. All of a sudden, the hat company is all sorry. ---

> [@eschereal](#): > > mogen david (six-point star) Off-topic fun fact: The “magen david” ( מָגֵן דָּוִד‎ ) (loosely pronounced like “muggin duvvid”, mostly in Yiddish) is generally translated in English as “Star of David”. I have it from a native Israeli that it literally means “Shield of David”. ([Wikipedia agrees.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_of_David)) The word “magen” meaning “shield” also appears in the names of some insurance companies. ---

> [@Typo\_Negative](#): > > Stupid AND evil. Not a good combination, even for a fledgling serial killer. Was it “stupid” though? Nothing in that story suggests that the murderer was trying to avoid being caught. Actually, it establishes to me that he clearly wanted to be. > Fucci was arrested the following day, and allegedly made several “admissions” of guilt. > After Bailey’s death, Fucci allegedly posted a taunting selfie from the back of a squad car. In the photo, he was displaying a peace sign.

Larizza told reporters in a news conference last week. “He indicated to witnesses that he was going to kill someone by taking them in the woods and stabbing them.” A person isn’t “stupid” for getting caught if they intended to be caught. It isn’t _rational_ but neither is stabbing someone 114 times. ---

You’re right. He’s a fucking mensa candidate. He is _not_ going to enjoy prison life. He looks kinda scrawny. There will be no teenage girls to lord his power of death over and all the fellas will likely outweigh him by at least 50 lbs. The “being kept separate from other inmates” will not be in effect when he is convicted. Guess he didn’t think that part through. But how is it irrational? Evil, yes, but if killing and causing pain is what you _dig._… It’s good that he no longer be a part of society. Too bad he didn’t think to just kill himself. But I guess there’s no fun or notoriety in that. I sure hope that Florida gets rid of the death penalty soon. ---

Having surveillance video of every room in your house for every minute of the last month, except for a 10 minute gap in the laundry room? Hmmm. Mighty suspicious.
