This is unfortunate:
According to multiple sources, the iconic cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris was evacuated today after a far-right Catholic activist shot himself in the mouth in front of the altar in front of hundreds of tourists, in what appears to have been a protest against same-sex marriage…. Dominique Venner, age 78, was a well-known essayist and a former member of a paramilitary group known as the Secret Army Organization (OAS), which waged a bombing and assassination campaign in the early 1960s to protest France giving Algeria its independence. Mr. Venner was also close to the anti-marriage equality movement and an outspoken critic of France’s new marriage equality law, which President François Hollande signed on Saturday. He made no verbal statement before he shot himself, but a letter was found on his person. The contents of Mr. Venner’s letter have not yet been released.
What a sweet, sweet man to do that in front of all those folks. That’ll teach ’em not to be so tolerant.
Bon voyage, Monsieur Venner — I hope that there is indeed a hell, and that you’re getting an introductory tour of the place right about now.
Hey, this is a great idea. Here’s to hoping that insane bigots committing suicide starts to trend. Given all the unfortunate LGBT suicides over the years, maybe they could even things out a little.
more of this please.
