Literally fatherless behavior

Osama bin Laden had kids. Heck one of his kids was shot in the raid that killed him too.

Not one of these news outlets called for a moment of remembering the humanity of them, right?

Murder is wrong, murdering a murder isn't good, but let's not pretend to have principles on the matter if we don't have them

Man. Keep the kids out of the discourse. Have a little class.

I'm sure that seems like the right way to feel. But honestly his kids will grow up to hurt poor people just like their dad.

Jfc. You people are gaslighting his children, whose father was murdered weeks ago.

Get a fucking grip.

Nobody cares about his kids and they were not a topic of discussion until media pulled them in.

If you gonna do this moral grand standing, talk to the big media.

What Tompkins is failing to realize here is that the people who are elated know absolutely jack shit about who Thompson was, and Thompson’s own kids know a lot about who he is.

I don't know much about who Irmgard Furchner was but I know she was a piece of shit because only a piece of shit would do that job.

Tompkins was a garbage human and the species is better off without him. If his kids didn't think poorly of him for having that job they could not have known him.

Just because a monster goes home to a family and manages to keep them in the dark about the horrors they willingly commit for money... Or worse, maybe the family is aware of and approve of the inhuman way he takes your money... Having a family does not make a monster less monstrous.

It doesn't matter how many Little League games he went to, how active he was in the PTA, whether he volunteered at his local church. He was a terrible no good very bad person. And I don't need to have sat down and played Canasta with him to see that.

I think you meant Thompson, hopefully not Tompkins.

That's what I get for voice to text!

You are of course correct.

Or... maybe, just maybe, people can have the opinions they want and have their reasons for them.

The idea I have to consider my parents' role as my parents undermined if they did something scam-ish is arguably appalling.

This is turning into a collective shame kind of culture.

The thing is that tons of strangers are celebrating his death and they know nothing about him bar a job title and a ton of misinfo. So if I were a kid I wouldn't think I'll of my father I'd just think worse of the general pop.

Congratulations, you share an opinion with Donald Trump.
