“Nah, dat didn’t hit right. Imma try again.”
“your honor… yes, i killed two people, but they combine into one person who doesn’t matter. i killed my ex who deserved to die and my wife who didn’t. they cancel each other out. am i free to go?”

It’s truly fucked up that I shared this headline with my partner and we both chuckled. I mean, it’s gallows humor. But we’re in the most fucked up timeline and we just have to accept it.

Violence against women is so common you need a gimmick to get national attention for a spree-killing.
In his defense violence in general has kinda been a problem for a long time now so you do kinda need a gimmick after a bit to be notable. Kinda like how due to lake Mead having low water folks are finding a lot of bodies, that one in general kinda got glanced over weirdly fast though I guess it was kinda expected.
So…is he single?
You know what they say, “in for a penny, in for a pound.” Might as well get your time’s worth out of your prison sentence.
