Best available outcome, I guess. He dies in prison but spares everybody the cost of a trial and any racist blithering that would’ve followed. It’s too bad he didn’t drop dead or off himself before he hurt anybody else. ---

Why do they need a museum for something that never happened? 🙂 ---

A friend of mine was visiting the museum the day of the shooting, and she was the first person to get to the guard who was killed, after he was shot. For what the guard went through, and for what my friend went through, I was actually joyful when I heard this on the news today. Guilty for feeling that way, but joyful. ---

> [@Marley23](#): > > Best available outcome, I guess. He dies in prison but spares everybody the cost of a trial and any racist blithering that would’ve followed. It’s too bad he didn’t drop dead or off himself before he hurt anybody else. I kind of disagree with this, though I understand your intent. In my mind, his death is cheating justice, in that he was spared further humiliation and imprisonment. In fact, I wonder if he knew he was terminally ill, and committed the crime as a last chance opportunity for ‘glory’, knowing that his punishment wouln’t last very ling. I haven’t seen anything about an autopsy yet, and it may turn out he died of something like an infection of his wounds. So I could be completely wrong in my speculation. ---

> [@Argent\_Towers](#): > > Nah, some of the Jews would dump trash on him, and then some other Jews would suggest that it’s unnecessarily cruel to dump trash on him, and then a third group of Jews would say that trash should be dumped on him but there should be a mandatory resting-period of three hours every day so that he can recover from the trash being dumped on him, because it’s only fair, you know. And then they would call a committee meeting to discuss it, and they’d call a deli and order a bunch of sandwiches and bagels and lox and stuff for the committee meeting (after arguing about which deli to order from), and have it delivered, and then argue over how much to tip the deliveryman, and by the time it was all done, they would have said, fuck it, let’s just let him out of the dumpster. You forgot to mention the farting during the meeting:D ---

Farts would get lost in the smell of a decomposing body. Is that a good thing? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whisky-tango-foxtrot-shooting-at-the-holocaust-museum/499363.md?page=11)
