Humanity sucks.

At least it is all murders up in Seattle. Down in Portland (and surrounding metro area) it seems that sex offenders abound, some of whom also have a penchant for murder.
Yeah Humanity sucks.
3
I could go for some sexy murder
4
howard stern is such a fucking douchebag.

You know, every time I read/hear about one of those murderous rampages followed by suicide, I think of Last Days and wonder why your advice isn't printed in really big letters on the walls of every gun shop in the world. No joke.

This is irrefutable evidence that apes, being living sentient organisms, have a grasp of what the future is and what it can mean for them; anyone who blathers about the intent or non-intent of Santino's rock collecting is deliberately obfuscating.

The question still remains, however, whether or not animal researchers have complex thought processes. After all, they may just be mouthing random constructions of words that they have heard sophisticated (read: unamused at this bullshit) life forms utter. Their 'speech' leads intelligent creatures to believe that they are only capable of an extremely limited range of concepts.

Seriously, now. Those researchers? They're retarded if that was their first thought. David Schmader? You're retarded if those were the only thoughts that came to your mind. Anyone reading this? You're retarded for continuing to accept the idea that humans are superior - because the only reason you would is to continue to believe in your sparkly speshulness for being born with different chromosomes.

More important than Santino's oh-so-surprising ability to plan and execute those plans, however, is the fact that those people have obviously been doing something to piss him off and get revenge for. (If you think about the future, you must be able to think about the past, and vice versa...) The truly amazing part is that, like an emotional abuser, they Cannot Imagine! what they could have been doing to cause this sort of anger; after all, they were completely justified because of X, Y and Z.

Seriously, you fuckwits, go drink bleach. You're clearly not intelligent enough to be the 'superior' species anyway.

Alright then, I just re-read the Last Days article for this week.

David Schmader, you are retarded.

First, are you seriously wondering why a man who worked at a motherfuckin' slaughterhouse (not a 'meatpacking plant') went psycho and killed people? Well, I'll tell you why: in order to kill animals, you have to be fucking psycho. Even 'stupid' pigs, cows and chickens, not just the 'cute and cuddly' animals that are euthanized by the millions every year because so many fuckwits can't be arsed to settle for an animal that isn't like, totally a cute little baby animal.

Just for your information, the meat (and dairy and egg, because they all rely on the same things) industries are probably the highest-ranking occupation for human rights abuses. They're intensely racist, sexist, don't provide health care, and do a bazillion other egregious things that your poor little 'progressive' head would recoil at - as it should - and then completely dismiss because you still want to have your steak (sorry, fish, because that's so much better). Nice, dude, nice. Who's the one who doesn't care about humans again?

Also (and this is a recurring theme in this column), the words '... of a sheriff's deputy' in this: '(the wife and toddler daughter of a sheriff's deputy)' are completely unnecessary and actually deeply offensive. What, their lives wouldn't have been worthy enough if they hadn't been related to a police officer, one of those poor benighted souls who work so tirelessly to protect and serve and fart Fluffy Bunny Giggles 'n' Rainbows and only get shit for it.

You think it's relevant. It's not. I'll note that both were women, in the context of your long history of blindly smug and self-satisfied misogyny, and that attaching their lives and deaths like that is covertly placing them as his property. GTFO.

Next, on the Friday March 13 entry, you pull the misogyny shtick again. First (well, okay, NOT first - you have a history, man) it was claiming that the girlfriend of that 19-year-old psycho pop star (who you so jovially and dismissively tagged as 'troubled') was 'allegedly beaten'. Yes, because obviously she got that fucked up by accident. Of course. (Tool.) This week it's labeling the woman's ex the 'alleged assailant' when (a) she'd taken out a restraining order against him - do you think that they hand that shit out like Halloween candy or something, jackass? and (b) HE MOTHERFUCKING CALLED IN AND REPORTED THAT HE'D DONE IT THE DAY THEY FOUND HER.

Extra fail for tagging the woman and her daughter as police officers, which makes their lives soooo much worthier. I guess. Ergh, my Basic Human Equality sense is tingling! Someone out there is violating its principles! Must... resist urge... to deliver... bleach... to door of... David Schmader...

Seriously. You have a brain, right?

God, I'm so fucking glad you're gay, because if you were straight you'd also have the desire to force some poor woman to listen to and put up with your shit.

(By the way, I'm a lesbian. lololol angry hairy lesbo yeah, I get it. Take your 'homophobia!!' screaming and kindly use it to fuck yourself in the eye.)

Dear 'Head Met Desk'--

I assume that you've put the verb 'to meet' in the past tense because you did this to catalyze your rant. That you did this BEFORE typing it shows in your argument.
9
Consider that the reason David S. mentions the victims's professions is not that their lives are inherently worth more, but because it severs to up the irony of their predicament. Who do we least expect to be caught off-guard than the people who eat/sleep/breathe this shit?

Perhaps you'd find the world hates you less if you aren't always looking for it to, or need it to quite so badly.
10
"Blindly smug"--doesn't smug imply the smugger has some kind of awareness of an air of superiority? Are *you* trying to sound ironic?
11
Sentino wrote the long-ass letter from the alleged lesbian and made this claim up to try and sex-up an otherwise DULL screed. Monkeys will learn, of course--or chimps, whatever--but this is a pretty slow start. How drunk DID you have to get to overcome your writer's bollocks, anyway?
12
Hey Head Met Desk - obviously you don't read the news often, or you would know that any person accused of a crime is labeled an "alleged" criminal until they are convicted of a crime - the people in the news stories here haven't been convicted yet - even though it is pretty obvious they did it. You give lesbians a bad name.

Re: Head Met Desk. You are insane. Schmader: good job. Do ignore crazy lady.
14
Dear Head Met Desk,

You are the reason I'm glad I'm dead.
15
I'm with bobito: Last Days---could you please post your "shoot yourself before you shoot other people" message in gun shops?
Pleeeeaaase?

And to Howard Stern: eat shit, you fucking douchebag!
16
Am I the only one who finds it ironic that Head Met Desk is ranting at Schmader in large part because of his supposed lack of empathy and understanding towards animals yet repeatedly and bombastically calls him retarded and denigrates his intelligence? Typical of animal rights person. They always say that animals are just as worthy as us, but frequently don't know how to treat us any better. Animals do need to be treated humanely, everyone should start with the animals that they see everyday in their houses and workplaces.

Oh, and all you animal rights people should know that I am a psycho-schizo-sociopath since I worked for a number of summers in the fishing industry. Made good money too. Better than my friends who thought they made bank waitressing at fancy restaurants.

Honestly, who in their right mind could look at a woman in her 30's, without a terminal illness or injury and determine that she needed HUNDREDS of pills by prescription?! Howard K. Stern and Anna's doctors are in some real trouble. Issuing prescriptions to fake names and under the name of Howard when the drugs were used by Anna are both pretty serious violations of the law. They're called "controlled substances" for a reason. Ironic that in this instance they were used to actually control a person. No doubt the enablers were drugging Anna so that they might realize a nice payday if Anna's ridiculous claim against the Marshall estate ever paid off. however, I think that Howard and friends should've done a better risk/benefit analysis because there was no chance of Anna's frivolous estate claim ever paying off (hence the reason all appropriate courts all ruled against her) and upon Anna's death from over-medication there was a high probability that at some point someone would start looking to the source of all of the prescriptions she was abusing. Now Howard is in real trouble and even his last desperate effort of petitioning the Supreme Court was rejected. This has been a bad month for him...

I think head meets desk's duck suit was cutting off the air supply last Friday at Lark.
19
I'm a bit surprised by the use of the phrase 'and three innocent bystanders' in reference to the first serial sicko. I'd argue (unless there's something about his family that I don't know) that all ten victims were innocent bystanders.

head met desk: chill. like has been pointed out. guilty until proven innocent in a court of law means that if someone in journalism doesnt put alleged before the alleged is convicted they can get sued for libel. the fact that an admitted criminal must be convicted before they are free to be definetively ridiculed may mean the culture is hieracrchal and misogynist, but not that the individual journalist is.

also not only is it ironic that you are trying to be all fair play about everything but attempting to insult someone with hierarchal language, retarted is really hurtful to people who have cognitive disabilities and is equivalent to calling something that you dont like gay.

also scientest have to write articles and make points deliberately and ponderously in order to get more money to continue to spread the good word that chimps are people too. they may personally recongnize the sacrality of all, but to make sure they can spread the good word to all they have to be very careful in their diction and assumptions so as to not be attacked for being a hippie weirdo and hence disregarded as they work spread enlightenment.

the system sucks, the people dont necessarily.

Please wait...
