Watching that United Health Care CEO Brian whoever getting shot like a professional hit was so delicious. The unidentified shooter walking up and immediately taking him down without pause for all the evil shit he wrought upon people for insurance they pay for was wondrous.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 42 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Luigi is innocent and being railroaded...

Should say the unknown shooter.

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 week ago

The Adjuster remains at large.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

My bad. Corrected.

[–] Cephalotrocity@biglemmowski.win 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It wasn't Luigi. He was banging my wife at the time.

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I can confirm. I was there standing in the corner watching. But in a strictly nonsexual way.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I was watching the webcam stream.

[–] spirinolas@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I was sitting in the closet dressed as Superman.

Yeah, that shit should be on a loop in time square until the problem is fixed

Muammar Gaddafi was dragged out of a drainage ditch by Misrata militia members, partially stripped, and repeatedly stabbed in the ass with something sharp (it's tough to tell from the video, but it's some kind of stick or knife). They then chucked him onto the back of a truck, but he fell off onto the ground as they pulled away. They then stuck him into an ambulance. He was pronounced dead at a hospital a short time later.

AKA "getting Gaddafi'd," which is Putin's greatest fear, I've heard.

That submarine that imploded.

That time Trump got covid.

[–] triptrapper@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The submarine owner/grifter may have deserved it, but the sub was also carrying a child who was only there as a Father's Day gift. And honestly, I don't know much about the dad, but if his sin was being rich enough to charter a submarine I don't consider that an automatic death sentence.

If I recall correctly the son was terrified but went only because of his father…

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 32 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Elon Musk's feelings have been hurt by people hating his guts. Poor little tyke. 😔

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago

and using his son he has neglected since his birth as a human shield.

[–] GuyFawkes@midwest.social 28 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Look up what happened to Mussolini

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Why not tell us, if you know?

[–] GuyFawkes@midwest.social 9 points 1 week ago

Because I don’t know how to post pictures in the comments. He was executed with a machine gun (probably too quick of a death, but I think they were worried he’d escape again) but afterwards his corpse went on tour where folks were allowed to throw stuff at it, as well as beat the ever loving shit out of him. If you go looking for the pics of the “after” just know they’re not pretty.

Dick Cheney got lower lumbar spinal stenosis.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/cheney-hospitalized-for-back-surgery/

I have the same thing and it's the worst pain I've ever experienced in my life.

My brain was trying to tell me that my spine was broken and that I could feel the broken ends grinding against each other.

[–] snausagesinablanket@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

At least you didn't shoot anyone in the face with a shotgun.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] lol_idk@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Who was it? They need to apologize to you

"I'm sorry i blocked your shot with my stupid face, Mr ~~Cheney~~ Lund."

[–] mysticpickle@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The best part was when Cheney got the guy he shot in the face to apologize to him 😂

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

For that style of bird hunting Cheney was acting appropriately. The other guy basically jumped up in front of him when he was supposed to stay down.

[–] starlinguk@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Mussolini was beaten to death and strung up by his ankles.

[–] DrFistington@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Gaddafi got exactly what he deserved and most of it was on camera. Can't wait for the day when we get the same satisfaction

[–] steeznson@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Leaving morality to one side for a second, I just want to say Gaddafi was the GOAT dictator though

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Thomas Midgley Jr. has been named a “one-man environmental disaster” for two big reasons. He was one of the early pioneers of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) – compounds that became widely used in industry – and which were destroying the ozone layer. He also invented leaded gasoline and insisted that it was safe to use.

In 1940, at the age of 51, Midgley contracted polio and was left severely disabled. He devised an elaborate system of ropes and pulleys to lift himself out of bed. On November 2, 1944, at the age of 55, he was found dead at his home in Worthington, Ohio. He had been killed by his own device after he became entangled in it and died of strangulation.

Mr Burns got shot.

[–] letsgo@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago

Ivan the Terrible didn't get to play that killer chess move he'd been working on for years.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Most of us would consider someone’s demise to be a bad thing.

But if it’s a bad person, is it a terrible thing?

[–] Blackout@fedia.io 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I wake up every morning hoping to read good news. I mean, with that diet it's inevitable.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I hate to break it to you, but there's plenty of people waiting to take his place. I honestly hope he lives for many years because at least he's dumb enough to repeatedly kneecap himself the way he has been.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Nope. Bad people sometimes get what's coming to them 10 fold of what they do to others

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Was merc’ed by Vance, more like.

Too many pancakes? :)
