    Good grief. They posted the video. I get that it was live streamed when it happened but reposting it? Just seems bad. People don’t need to see another human die.

    Imagine spending your whole life as a priest and getting cred in the faith and you die in such a way that every single person thinks God had to have killed you for some awful sin. Like, there is automatically an assumption that this guy was touching kids or something.

    Like, I’m an atheist, I don’t believe that. I think that they should have secured the cross better and he died because of poor maintenance.

    But if you’re Catholic. There is no way to not read into far too much. Dude will forever be remembered as the guy God dropped a cross on.

      You’re assuming a coherent world-view there. I don’t know how well that pairs with being Catholic in the first place, though.

        Nah, the main assumption is that Catholics love considering some event as divine intervention and that human beings love gossip. That whole church is whispering about it from one person to another.

      If you’re quick you can hit stop and keep the popup from loading. Or you can just turn off javascript.

      Healthline does something similar if you reject cookies. They redirect you to a dedicated ‘fuck you’ page.

    And that’s why you don’t just throw away that wall anchor, screw and loop that attaches your furniture or cross to the wall.

      I was shocked by that as well. What an illustration into how rotten the world has become. A mainstream news site just casually posting here guys watch the cool way this dude dies live on camera.

      Unnecessary, disrespectful, voyeuristic. Like death porn for the masses
