well, he certainly lived longer than jimmy hoffa................

Pretty sure the majority of people I had to work with in ohio and rhode island and the providence plantations are missing him.

The project in rhode island and the providence plantations was 100 million dollar over budget (planned was 180 mil).

The project in ohio is right now in the check-up phase, initially it was planned to have the first production runs in the first week of July. The new estimate is now end of October/begin of November. No statement on the budget as of now.

Aren't funions great?

as we say, don't bring a knife to a gunfight.
There will be no riots and looting by WLM !

This guy had a lot of time to think and it seems he committed suicide by cop, hope the dumbf@ck gets punished in hell for being such a coward.

You want to commit suicide?
Climb up a construction crane at night and jump.
Don't put this shit on our police


Still good riddance because of the tax dollars saved, AND all LEO's are going home to their families/

Consider the fact that we are all dying, each day moving closer to the fateful moment.

And depending on our life choices, we are committing "slow suicide"? 😉

And for some of us, death is not the end but a continuation.

he knew that within the next year his butthole would have been big enough to hide a cruise missile and decided to save lots of tax dollars.
So much for the "not-very-Smart" family trying to save his ass.....

Congressman Anthony Gonzales (R) has announced he will not run again. Good riddance! He is only one of ten Republican congressmen who voted to impeach Trump without any hearings, evidence, defense only ten days before Trump’s term ended.

Gonzales’ district is just west of Cleveland in Ohio, a state which went for Trump by an 8% margin in 2016 and 2020. He was shunned by the Ohio GOP after the impeachment vote and had two strong primary challengers.

Never spit-on the one who brung you to the dance.

Here are the 10 Republicans:

Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming

Rep. Anthony Gonzalez of Ohio

Rep. Jamie Herrera-Beutler of Washington

Rep. John Katko of New York

Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois

Rep. Peter Meijer of Michigan

Rep. Dan Newhouse of Washington

Rep. Tom Rice of South Carolina

Rep. Fred Upton of Michigan

Rep. David Valadao of California

Is this thread about relishing in the deaths of certain people?
No, it is about relishing when certain people simply "go away" as in fired from a position or similar. In a few cases yes, things like executions figure into it but not every post involves relishing the death of someone.

For example I agree with the post above yours. I see Anthony Gonzales as a joke and turn coat and I live close to his district here in Ohio. I am glad he has chosen not to run again and there is a good possibility if he did the seat could be filled by a Democrat. He has annoyed that many Republicans that much. On the bright side he did play a good football game for Ohio State in his days. :)

Hmm. Pretty ugly sentiment all around. Dancing on the graves of the dead or defeated is, in my opinion, distasteful. At least, it was not how I was raised. I will now see myself out of this thread.

Well, OK I guess you can take the thread however you wish. You find it distasteful that is fine. Sorry you saw my post as ugly sentiment.

Less yours than the previous posts on various deaths. Justice should be cold, not hot.

And, you know, as John Donne wrote:
"Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee."

I guess it's all about how we view certain deaths. When someone like Anthony Sowell who I mentioned earlier who raped and murdered 11 or more woman upon his death in prison there were no openly shed tears. Nobody cared that he was dead, some were happy. As corps after corpse was unearthed in his yard and decomposing corpuses removed from inside his house the compassion was for those 11 woman who died a horrible death. They were likely more of the whole and they were more a part of us. "The funeral bell that tolls for another person’s death, then, also tolls for us, in a sense, because it marks the death of a part of us, but also because it is a memento mori, a reminder that we ourselves will die one day".

When it comes to desecrating a grave or simply pissing on a grave it happens. My brother-in-law was a great guy, retired US Marine who went on to Law School at Virginia Law worked and became a partner in the Steptoe Johnson Firm, likely the largest law firm in West Virginia. At the bottom of Stanley Street in Clarksburg there is a large cemetery a final resting place of many Korean war dead. Also buried on that hillside is Louis Arthur Johnson was born on January 10, 1891, and graduated from the University of Virginia in 1912 with a degree in law. He practiced law in West Virginia for several years and was elected to the West Virginia House of Representatives in 1917. Johnson enlisted in the U.S. Army during World War I and served in France. After the war, he resumed his political career. He was appointed assistant secretary of war in 1937 and was a staunch supporter of military preparedness and increases in air power. Johnson resigned his post in 1940 when President Franklin D. Roosevelt failed to appoint him secretary of war. In 1942, Johnson served as Roosevelt's personal representative in India. He later became chairman of the Democratic Finance Committee during Truman's 1948 election campaign. Truman appointed Johnson secretary of defense in 1949, and Johnson worked to continue the unification of the armed forces as prescribed by the National Security Act of 1947. Johnson also aimed to maintain the military strength of the United States while cutting expenditures. This policy was highly controversial in the military and ultimately led Johnson to resign in 1950 during a particularly bleak period for U.S. forces in Korea. He returned to practicing law and died on April 24, 1966.

His gravestone is easily seen as the one with all the yellow stains, The Korean vets blamed him for all the US unpreparedness in early Korea and the surviving vets it a point to piss on his grave. Following WWII he slashed all military spending. His negligence and stupidity led to a lot of dead soldiers. Sometimes hate runs deep I guess. Things don't always play out Donne was writing at a time when the English language was, in many ways, at its most supple and inventive.

No doubt we should be glad that some folks are dead. I am glad that Hitler, Stalin, Mao, etc. are dead, among other lesser evil people.

However, for me, it is more of an aesthetic position. I am happy and satisfied to see these men stopped (and dead). However, glee at death is something I find distasteful, although perhaps understandable if in the heat of the moment.

Certain posters here will seek out the most outrageous circumstances and the most grotesque killers, and then gloat over their deaths. That whole enterprise is what I object to. It is like the bloodthirsty crowds coming out to watch the drawing and quartering in medieval England. They relished in the death. Perhaps the people deserved to die. But reveling in it is loath-some, in my view. It is not the best of humanity, to be sure.
