Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

A police spokesperson was quoted as saying by the BBC that the groom “was quite intoxicated at the time”.

They seem to think that is a fair explanation.

You know what they say, guns and alcohol go together like peas and carrots. That is what they say, isn't it? Isn't it?

It's weird, I've been really drunk and I've murdered maybe two people. Tops.

[–] ericisshort@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Next time, try more alcohol or more guns.

Or put wodka in a supersoaker, a twofer.

I thought we weren’t supposed to talk about that.

It was your rule!

The Fall of the House of Usher reference?

[–] Touching_Grass@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

What a great show. So happy to binge it.

[–] NoIWontPickaName@kbin.social 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Nope, sorry.

No clue what that is

Netflix horror show based on Edgar Allen Poe's short stories. Has Mark Hamill. Pretty good.

I don't think so...but they do say Asians can't process alcohol very well.

Just a thought, but it seems like the Big Black Cock might have played a role in this tragedy.
