He stabbed a flag pole through a guy’s head, on purpose, and then said, “he deserved it”. That sounds an awful lot like attempted murder.

No. It actually sounds like Attempted manslaughter. There is no planning, no low motives, nothing necessary for a murder charge.

They quoted the prep as saying “he deserved it.” Like WTF did the victim do to deserve being impaled like it’s fucking 1663 and you’re the bannerman for a regiment of Swedish pikemen?

It suffered from a lack of moderation. Half the posts were not oniony.
