Anti-gay right wing extremist commits suicide at altar in Notre Dame Cathedral

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/05/21/1210711/-Anti-gay-right-wing-extremist-commits-suicide-at-alter-in-Notre-Dame-Cathedral

Goddam, Teh Krezzy is universal. "Muzlins! Sharia!! Teh Gaaaayyyyzzzz!!!!!111!!1 Waaaahhhh!!!!!111!!111!!!1"

Well-known far right-wing activist, 78-year-old Dominique Venner, calmly walked past throngs of tourists visiting Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris today, placed a suicide note on the altar, stuck a gun in his mouth and shot himself to death.

The man pulled out a shot-gun and shot himself through the mouth beside the main altar shortly after 16:00 (14:00 GMT).
He has been named as Dominique Venner, an award-winning far-right historian.
Mr Venner had recently been involved in the campaign against the government's decision to legalise gay marriage.

is they're too stubborn to die and to cowardly to hasten themselves.

It is what it is. I won't ever celebrate death -- anybody's. I would be satisfied if the nutwingers got a big, healthy STFU enema though.

A lesson that should be learned by the rest of the hate mongers.

Will I shed a tear over this? no, but for his sake may he now have peace.

suicide is always a sad and tragic ending. May we have more respect for human life than he did.

ridiculous on another.

And another thing:

I'd bet he never shed a single tear for all the gay boys and girls who killed themselves at being cast out by their own families. So no, I really don't think I give a shit, knowing how toxic and hateful homophobes are.
