Major Nikon

35. He doesn't deserve sympathy
Tue Apr 7, 2015, 03:49 AM
Apr 2015

I'm not going to make jokes about him, but it doesn't particularly bother me that someone else would. This guy was a narcissist who harassed employees and then blamed them when he got bounced from the place, including posting their pictures and personal information on facebook and then blew his brains out in front of children. Andreas Lubitz is a mass murderer who killed 149 men, women, and children. I don't think suicide is funny, but I really don't feel either of these two people deserve much consideration. They certainly didn't give it to anyone else.
