1. It was a brutal and shameful attack and they are free to wear what they want

But if they wanted to be timely since it's Pride Month, they could have worn a "5,000" pin for the number of gay people executed since the glorious revolution.

One person's "tribute" is another person's "propaganda" I reckon.

2. Whow. Brave fellas--good for them.

3. Bravi ragazzi

This bombing killed more people than the Oklahoma City Bombing, by the way.

4. And we 'double tapped' to make sure...

that there were as many casualties as possible. This was done after first responders arrived.

5. I would love to see Hegseth and trump standing in the Hague

to answer for that!

6. You and me both, brer.

7. I would too... very much so!

8. Wouldn't it be something if they took home the WC? 🤔

11. No pride pins though?

Remember the children, unless they happen to be gay. Then we hang them.

The hypocrisy is so funny (not really). One thing humans love doing is killing people who aren’t like us in some way, while also desperately grasping for the moral high ground. It’s pathetic.
