Three People, Including A Man Who Had A Heart Attack, Died Following Medical Emergencies At The Capi

[tenderfoot]

They didn't have to die...

One of the people who died on Capitol grounds was Kevin Greeson. His wife told me he wanted to support Trump, wasn't there to participate in the violence & didn't condone it. His posts online show he has advocated for violence against Democrats in the past

Kevin Greeson, 50, of Alabama, who has advocated for violence online, had a history of high blood pressure and had a heart attack "in the midst of the excitement," his wife told BuzzFeed News.



Police have identified three people who died Wednesday on Capitol grounds, where a mob incited by President Trump stormed the building and attempted a coup, as Benjamin Phillips, 50, Roseanne Boyland, 34, and Kevin Greeson, 55.

All three died of medical emergencies, Metropolitan Police Chief Robert Contee said. The police did not specify what those medical emergencies were, but Greeson, who was from Athens, Alabama and had traveled to DC, to take part in what became an insurrection, died of a heart attack, his wife Kristi Greeson told BuzzFeed News.

"He was not there to participate in violence or rioting, nor did he condone such actions," she said. "Kevin had a history of high blood pressure, and in the midst of the excitement, suffered a heart attack."

On a pro-Trump social media website Parler, Greeson praised the Proud Boys and insulted high-ranking Democratic leaders, including President-elect Joe Biden, Vice President–elect Kamala Harris, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Stacey Abrams.

He also posted profanity-laden comments about Republican lawmakers who he claimed did not support Trump and advocated for violence against “communist motherfuckers.”

Greeson also supported Trump's baseless and disproven claims that a nationwide voter fraud conspiracy cost him the election, and he advocated for using firearms to "defend our country."

In one Parler post in mid-November, Greeson wrote, "All males over the age of 18 join a group.. be ready to defend our country!! Spend your money on guns and ammo... It’s time to stop this shit!!!!!"

Like Donny in Big Lebowski.

On Edit: Dude gave HIMSELF a heart attack with a taser in his pocket when he was trying to steal a painting.

[BBG]

18. No, Donny was a good man

Jury’s out on this AL yahoo.

[Chainfire]

4. Doing his small part to Make America Great Again

I hate it.

[sdfernando]

20. well...he died...

and in doing so he did make America a little better.

[Chainfire]

23. It is a far greater thing he has done then ever he has done before....;)

He gave his whole for the cause... Maybe Trump can pardon him out of it.

[durablend]

5. Fuck him

There, I said it...

[greenjar_01]

6. Seeing reports on Twitter that Boyland, aged 34, of Kennesaw, GA, died of crowd crush

Crushed to death by the surging mob.

[Chainfire]

24. What a heroic death!

So much better than a meth overdose.

[Blue_true]

7. Looks like a peaceful fella. nt

[Marie Marie]

21. So nice that he is standing by all the symbols of

the birth of HIS Jesus, (aka The Prince of Peace) with weapons of mass destruction and death. Another true Christian!

[Blue_true]

30. They have long been full of contradictions.

Some are good people that follow the tenets of their faith, most aren’t.

[madaboutharry]

8. His wife didn't know him very well.

Seems he was a terrible person. Sorry he died. (Actually, I don’t care too much)

This may sound awful of me but I can’t stop laughing at the incongruity of the little snowman on the coffee table and all the guns.

[Aristus]

9. A little less time at the gun range, a little more time at the gym.

And all might still be well...

Shame about the guns. You can't take them with you...

[Chainfire]

25. You can bet his buddies have already contacted here

"Hey, babe, wanna sell the guns?"

[58Sunliner]

10. No they didn't. Oh well.

[BusyBeingBest]

11. Aww, he was so excited about treason his heart exploded.

[BlueIdaho]

12. Instead of buying guns

He should have invested in a gym membership. No shits to give here.

[Solly Mack]

13. Oh, yeah. He looks so non-violent. You bet.

[LiberalFighter]

14. Boo Hoo!

[Vinca]

15. Judging from the gun in his belt I'm surprised he didn't die nutless.

[CottonBear]

17. Or dickless.

I live in a blue island in a red sea in Georgia. There are men just like him in all of the surrounding red counties.

[Chainfire]

26. I live in one of "those" counties.

The neighbors still have their Trump yard signs on display. To me is says, "Look at me, I am a loooooooser."

[CottonBear]

28. My sympathies.

[Chainfire]

31. It is fine

My wife and I just do not associate with any of them. I am glad that they display their politics openly, so that I don't have to guess.

[Blue_true]

32. He had two guns there.

If he got not really lucky, because he likely wouldn’t have needed much luck, if either went off, the bullet would have missed his balls and likely tiny wee-wee.

[aeromanKC]

16. ZERO Thoughts and Prayers

[Thomas Hurt]

19. They live in a world of magical thinking and have a romanticized view of patriotism...

they think the world is a fn action movie and they the heroes. (smh)

[pandr32]

22. Yes nothing says peace and good will towards man

...like the guy in this picture. I guess the Christmas/holiday spirit means Santa brings more ammo.

[Chainfire]

27. And the shame is,

He was all prepped for Armageddon, but now he is going to miss it. Maybe next time.

[pandr32]

33. Only if he returns from the dead!

Trumpsters are very 'special' people, though, so you never know...

[Chainfire]

35. But, if he gets a Trump pardon???????

I mean, a lot of them think that Trump walketh upon the waters. Resurection should be childs play for the great leader.

[Clearly fogged in]

29. Hell, I wasn't even allowed to go bowling until

...until we bought and hung curtains. Maybe these days people feel more at ease without them.?

[BGBD]

34. Idiot

Just the picture. Terrible. He's got his finger on one trigger and two guns stuffed down the front of his pants. That's one barrel for each nut; nice.



Look at the guy, he's got a BMI of at least 40. If these guys want to fight a war they might want to put a little effort into some PT. It doesn't matter how many guns or rounds of ammo you have if you have a windowmaker heart attack the first time you find yourself up against the smallest amount of resistance.

[Major Nikon]

36. Evidently he had concealed a taser in his pocket and it went off

Tased himself in the balls and croaked. I know it's not funny when someone dies, but it's kinda funny.
