He's getting exactly what he wanted by having an article written about it and having it shared across social media. But wow, it feels so good that he got mocked in the process...
- Right? Instead of publicizing his bullshit, we should be ignoring him whilst simultaneously hoping he runs into the wrong end of a lawnmower.
  
  his haircut looks like he got in a fight with a lawnmower.
- Dude killed people and hes not in jail, and instead getting attention.
  
  In no way do I condone his actions, so let's start with that. Coulda, shoulda, whatever, is not what his trial was about.
  
  Given the video evidence presented, he shot in self-defense. Given Washington state's law regarding self-defense, he shot in self-defense. Not going to replay it all, you can see for yourself.
  
  All in all, it was a clusterfuck of biblical proportions. "Should have never happened.", isn't a legal doctrine. "He went looking for trouble and found it.", isn't a thing.
  
  As to why we're still talking about this little maggot? Fuck if I know. I'd be the first to punch him in his fat face. I would happily spend the weekend in jail and lose on a battery charge.
Better amplify him by writing and article about him and linking to his Twitter.

Wouldn't want to just ignore him and let him fade into obscurity.
- He won’t though. I guarantee he’ll be in federal office within 15 years
  
  Goose stepping into the ~~White~~ Reich House to lick the Trump family boots
  
  Because supporting him pisses of leftists. If everyone just ignored this dweeb instead of engaging with every stupid thing he does they'd stop giving him attention.
  
  He wasn’t even fit for KP duty in the marines, so yeah, he’ll be the guy who replaces Ted Cruz
Why exactly should anyone care what this idiot murderer says about anything?
- No more then any other celebrity. Though I supp9se this kid is one of their icons and is trying to get into office
Following the same path/trajectory as the shitstain who murdered Trayvon Martin.
Good, he should be mocked
I’m of the opinion that this community is being ruined by you posting too many things that aren’t news.
- Just filter the unwanted user out of the posts you see. The app I use for Lemmy includes this feature. I use it to clean up my feed from gallowboob-type ubiquitous posters, as well as any headline that includes the words "slam," "slams," or "slammed." I can also eliminate any headline ending in a question mark, as the answer is an automatic "no," so the question is not worthy of my attention.
- Ok. You're welcome to post things if you'd like to
1996 called they want their slur back
- 2003 called they want their joke format back
  
  Your mom called she wants you to call her back
I know, I know…. “Stop giving this idiot attention”
- I'm not generally a critic of what you post, but this time I would have to say that you are, in fact, giving him unnecessary attention. He's a dumbass kid who is no longer useful to the GOP.
  
  Wait, I thought they (GOP fascists) were making him their next protégé? (Legit question)
  
  Or have they already dumped this little turd?
  
  I just love hearing about the stupid stuff conservatives do though lol
  
  I also do think there’s an argument where you shouldn’t ignore people who might become dangerous later in life.
- And yet you do it anyway?
- If you know, why not take it down?
- It’s pride month. The Advocate thought it was newsworthy. Ignoring homophobia won’t make it go away.
