    I mean, I can feel bad for his kids (especially if they’re too young to understand, no idea how old they are) and still be of the opinion fuck that guy. The two are not mutually exclusive.

    Grief is not a conscious decision and we do not get to choose who we will mourn for and because of that, I do feel for them, but the rest of us are under absolutely no obligation to mourn along with them.

      It’s hard to grow up with no dad.

      It’s also hard to grow up with a dad who’s a bottom feeding scumbag.

      Brian Thompson was a scumbag. We can’t say whether it will be better or worse growing up without him. We can only say that if he wasn’t a scumbag, he’d probably still be here.
