my guy looks a little like mona lisa with similar ambiguity of expression. no matter where you stand in the room, he thinks you're palestinian.
- This is the most hilarious comment I've read in a while. Thank you!
  
  that means i've reached my biannual quota of hilarious comments-- and so soon into 2025, see you in 2027 lemmy! 👋 (me realizing biannual is twice a year.. its too late)
- He's got a bit of that patented Mr Beast Combo of vacant gaze and simulated smile, too.
  
  Pat Bateman vibes. No smile in the eyes. They Dead
- Mona Lisa's eyebrows may have faded with time, but his appear to have migrated down onto his eyelids, somehow.
Somehow someone's gonna blame this on Hamas.
- Moments after being shot, the Israeli man who was the victim of the shooting took to social media and wrote, “My father and I went through a murder attempt against anti-semitic background.” He finished his social media post with the words, “Death to Arabs.”
  
  Dude is literally an Arab Jew. Wow. You can't make this shit up.
I had to verify that this is a real story because of how batshit insane it is, and, well, yes, apparently it is. :(

The married, 27-year-old Collins Avenue condominium owner gave “plumber” as his occupation to arresting officers
Not only is he a racist asshole, and murderous asshole, but he's also a landlord, hence, triple asshole.
The only saving grace here was this chucklefuck was as bad at killing people as he is at basic common sense and decency. The guy is literally a storm trooper.
- Per the article you linked to:
  Dustin Tischler, Brafman’s attorney, said in a statement to the Herald on Monday night that his client “was experiencing a severe mental health emergency” when he opened fire.
  Maybe don’t rush to judgment so much? Wait for more information.
  
  What the hell? What mental health emergency explains wanting to kill two people based on their perceived race?
  
  Well the lawyer for their client is going to say something like this. Has the man been evaluated for this mental health emergency?
  I also wonder which disorder in the DSM manifests with wanting to kill Palestinians.
  Perhaps you shouldn’t listen to the defence attorney in their press releases and see what comes out in court.
  
  Lawyer claims random bullshit without supplying evidence to later in court just ignore all those claims
  Uh huh, fuck this bastard. Send him to jail and place him in the middle of Jewish and Palestinians. I think he owes both groups a bit of an explanation
Do you think when he went to the barber he specifically asked to look like a ventriloquist dummy who is also a sex criminal, or was this just the best he could do?
Nothing like a little hate crime to get social media all abuzz
Shot at the victims 17 times. He didn't hit them 17 times.
That’s his best “My bad.” expression.
Florida man gonna do Florida man shit.
- less a florida man and more a zionist terrorist. He went out to "hunt" palestinians with a gun. In the US.
  
  That sounds like a Florida man.
It hurt itself in its confusion!
Why did he shoot them?
- American maths
Won't be the last case with these kinds of radicalized assholes.
