    That is horrible. For the people that loved him, for the people that witnessed it and especially for the kids that had to watch it.

    Put that swing of the cross, the pin point precision of the hit, that is also incredibly funny.

    I’d like to be saddened by this, as death suddenly is always sad. That said, this is a Catholic priest. Given the track record, you have to wonder.

    it was his time. only god knows what to expect next because it’s his plan.

    evidently his plan includes allowing murderous psychopathic pedophiles to run the world and killing priests in the most ironic ways.

    Maybe God just feels like monkey’s pawwin’ it once in awhile. Maybe at this instant, the priest was thinking in his head, “God, may I be with you!” God was like, “wish granted.”

    What was it he said that made his god immediately send him?

    Surely his followers would see some kind of profound insight into the interpretation of their scripture because of this, right?

    Good grief. They posted the video. I get that it was live streamed when it happened but reposting it? Just seems bad. People don’t need to see another human die.

      I was shocked by that as well. What an illustration into how rotten the world has become. A mainstream news site just casually posting here guys watch the cool way this dude dies live on camera.

      Unnecessary, disrespectful, voyeurish. Like death porn for the masses

        That air force guy who died in Texas is getting the same treatment.

        They really sang the national anthem, killed a troop on the field, and then played football on the turf still soaked in his blood.

        Social media is covered with videos from every angle of his body crumpling into the ground. You could probably stitch them all together into a grotesque 360-degree bullet-time of his death.

        Imagine serving in the Air Force for 15 years and then losing your life at the Alamodome, in service to the social media hype cycle.
