    Since the article decided it wasn’t worth mentioning—as if it wasn’t obvious by the fact he was a republican—he was also full heartedly participating in the witch hunt against trans kids, and also the slow destruction of public libraries.

    May his grave be a gender neutral toilet for many years to come. 🙏

      Why would it be worth mentioning? A person died. A medic had to climb down there and determine he was dead. He then had to climb out and tell the family that he was dead. The fire department then had to retrieve the body. The police had to write a report about what they saw on scene. A family is grieving now.

      The guy was an asshole and bad person. But he was a human. Being a republican or democrat has nothing to do with death. Be a sensitive human and respect death.

        He was doing his damnedest to make life unlivable for trans people, I hope he’s rotting in hell. If you want to be treated respectfully in death, don’t be a piece of shit in life.

        Btw, he wasn’t found dead. It took him a while to die as the accident was a month ago. If you’re going to make up a story to try to make this dead shithead more sympathetic you could at least read the article.

        I’d think being a sensitive human involves thinking of those whose lives he turned upside down and terrorized for the sake of politics, and not just going “but he wasn’t an actual monster living in a cave and had a family 🥺”

      Like, did he turn democrat last minute before he hit the concrete teeth first? Or you mean that he was republican the entire time and now he’s fucking dead so nobody give a shit he’s dead and no longer republican?

        Not sure if I’m correctly understanding what part of my comment you’re confused by, but I’m saying that it’s unsurprising that he is a transphobe who hates libraries because he was a republican. Past tense because he’s dead now.
