I had to verify that this is a real story because of how batshit insane it is, and, well, yes, apparently it is. :(

The married, 27-year-old Collins Avenue condominium owner gave “plumber” as his occupation to arresting officers
Not only is he a racist asshole, and murderous asshole, but he's also a landlord, hence, triple asshole.
The only saving grace here was this chucklefuck was as bad at killing people as he is at basic common sense and decency. The guy is literally a storm trooper.
my guy looks a little like mona lisa with similar ambiguity of expression. no matter where you stand in the room, he thinks you're palestinian.
He's got a bit of that patented Mr Beast Combo of vacant gaze and simulated smile, too.
Pat Bateman vibes. No smile in the eyes. They Dead
This is the most hilarious comment I've read in a while. Thank you!
that means i've reached my biannual quota of hilarious comments-- and so soon into 2025, see you in 2027 lemmy! 👋 (me realizing biannual is twice a year.. its too late)
Biannual is two years. Half a year is semiannual.
It's unfair that bimonthly and biweekly can mean either or, but biannual gets to be specific. I say we banish it to ambiguity like the others.
No, those follow the same rule.
I could never keep those straight.
Mona Lisa's eyebrows may have faded with time, but his appear to have migrated down onto his eyelids, somehow.
Somehow someone's gonna blame this on Hamas.
Moments after being shot, the Israeli man who was the victim of the shooting took to social media and wrote, “My father and I went through a murder attempt against anti-semitic background.” He finished his social media post with the words, “Death to Arabs.”
Dude is literally an Arab Jew. Wow. You can't make this shit up.
Blinded by hatred seems applicable here. 😔
Florida man gonna do Florida man shit.
less a florida man and more a zionist terrorist. He went out to "hunt" palestinians with a gun. In the US.
That sounds like a Florida man.
Do you think when he went to the barber he specifically asked to look like a ventriloquist dummy who is also a sex criminal, or was this just the best he could do?
Presumably, at some point they needed a real life reference to make the first dummy from.
So...
Nothing like a little hate crime to get social media all abuzz
Shot at the victims 17 times. He didn't hit them 17 times.
That’s his best “My bad.” expression.
Why did he shoot them?
He had gun. They look like other.
1+1= shoot.
American maths
Won't be the last case with these kinds of radicalized assholes.
