The Daily Mail is garbage but I like giving the source for stuff.

Is this image used elsewhere on like left Twitter? Because I only recognize this from here and saw this exact image here ~~like an hour~~ about 5 hours after he got shot

Edit: credit to @Posadas@hexbear.net?

I edited my comment. The photo caption doesn't say anything about when the photo was taken or who took it.

I wasn’t saying the picture of the balloon was here. I’m saying the CEO DOWN picture was here

Yeah I knew exactly what comment you're talking about. I refuse to believe it didn't come from here

[–] Verenata@hexbear.net 19 points 2 weeks ago

what if the shooter came back and did that just to flex

Preferably in drag

No way this ain't a Hexbear user.

It's funny that even the daily mail commenters are celebrating.

This has been so much fun and we should do it again next year and have a bigger party with more dead CEOs

I know what my Halloween costume is next year

Inwas just thinking it would have been really cool if this happened in spetember ot so so. Everyone would have dressed up as the cool awesome shooter. It would be like a Joker movie came out that didn't dissapoint.

Dear Santa,

All I want for Christmas is one more dead CEO

[–] asg101@hexbear.net 12 points 2 weeks ago

I hope it happens MUCH more frequently than once a year.

[–] asg101@hexbear.net 62 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Wish they would start referring to the event as "Serial Killer" or "Mass Murderer" executed.

[–] Bureaucrat@hexbear.net 19 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

"Repeat offender of financial crimes"
