Cheerios Arsonist Dies

Cheerios Arsonist Dies

Just two weeks after his crime because the laughingstock of the internet, Cheerios arsonist and street preacher Michael Leisner has died. The cause has not been disclosed.

Leisner posted video of his act online, with it showing him scrambling to stomp out the flames before he hurriedly instructs his off-camera friends to get in the car. The video made its way onto cable television's "The Daily Show" and "Chelsea Lately." Leisner died Saturday while waiting in his car for his sons to finish playing tennis, said Dwight Denyes, senior pastor at Emmanuel Christian Center in Spring Lake Park. Denyes said that while he didn't know Leisner well, he added that what the nation has seen in the video "doesn't accurately reflect who he was as an individual. He was a very loving and caring father of his four children, a loving husband and he seemed to get along with other people."

Maybe he choked on a Cheerio. LOL! I have NO sympathy for this fool. It's too bad he wasn't arrested for arson. Maybe he could have died in the arms of his Bubba.

and they are in my thoughts and prayers. My sympathy on their loss.

However, I suspect that this man let his hatred kill him. Getting that bent out of shape and all is simply going to be harmful at some point or other.Did the fact that loving same-sex couples want to get married really affect him to the point where it rsulted in a heart attack. Is it now going to be the fashion in the H8 community to blame every bigot death on us because THEY let hatred eat them up to the point (combined with probably an unhealthy diet/lifestyle) where they brought on a fatal heart attack?

Watch and see if these h8ers don't make a martyr of this individual.
