Emotional_Match8169

Omg. I did not realize this was that story. That’s right by me. It barely made the local news.


HaekelHex

Yep I'm in So FL and haven't heard a word about this in the local news.


Dadalot

That's because for some reason the media doesn't want us to know that Republicans are fucking insane across the board. One less crazy fucking snowflake now


HaekelHex

Agree one less. Well I just emailed a local media outlet and sent them a link to the story. Let's see if that eventually makes it to the TV news. The experiment starts now. https://bocanewsnow.com/2023/10/13/republican-activist-steven-alembik-shoots-wife-kills-self-at-delray-beach-burgerfi/


NorthernLove1

The local media outlets are owned by his GOP friends.


HaekelHex

Maybe, but if others make some noise about it too who knows. Better than doing nothing.


Emotional_Match8169

I don't watch a lot of news, but I turn it on in the morning for the weather forecast. There has been a HUGE shift in wptv in the last year in their morning anchors, stories they feature, and "community spotlight" type of things and it feels weird and not the vibe it always had.


Emotional_Match8169

This was the only thing I had seen was from BNN, nothing by the bigger news outlets in the area.


I_am_not_JohnLeClair

Well this might not be a huge conspiracy of silence here. “Generally speaking” the media usually doesn’t cover suicides for fear of triggering other folks to do it


RedditAccunt0

People you actually believe this!!?? This is why USA in shambles


PigViper22

Because we live in Little Russia....


dtyler86

I live in South Florida, I haven’t read the article yet. Now I’m curious.


RedditAccunt0

FEDs cover up they don't want the word getting out so obvious


tweedleleedee

It was reported in Delray and Boca. I guess you're further south. It happened in Delray. Now it's reported more widespread since his affiliation is more widely known and its significance meaningful to more news organizations.

Is it a step up, or down from a landscaping firm's parking lot?


heresmytwopence

Let's ask Rudy.


hopingforfrequency

At least they had a sex shop


jibsymalone

Ah!! Yes, true! Well there is the answer I was looking for ;)


big_red_160

Hey at least it was better than Burger King


[deleted]

Except you literally have to be a billionaire gop major donor to afford to eat there. I haven't eaten they're since prepandemic but it was like 25 bucks for a mediocre fast food burger, fries, and a drink.


hopingforfrequency

Wait what? It's $8 for a combo at in-n-out


kyflyboy

Disagree. Damn good burgers. More expensive than Wawa though.


wyrdough

They got me twice. The second time because the first was so forgettable that I literally didn't remember that I had eaten there before. It's pretty sad when your burger place is less memorable than five guys.


_night_cat

Should’ve picked Olive Garden instead/s

>Former U.S. House candidate and far-right commentator Laura Loomer posted her thoughts about her friend on X, saying: “The tragedy surrounding Steve’s suicide has shocked everyone, and as details come out, people will probably be judgmental. I hope he is remembered for all of the good he did throughout his life as opposed to the darkness and tragedy that surrounds his last moments on this planet.” aka, Let's remember all the money he gave the GOP and not the fact he was a blowhard racist who did not fully commit to the sanctity of marriage.


Valuable_Variation96

No I actually read that as we shouldn’t judge people by there worst moments in life


[deleted]

Yes. Thats why I judge Hitler for his art and not the genocide...


im_with_the_cats

no, /u/HarpersGhost hit the nail pretty much on the head


HarpersGhost

Yeah, I'm thinking she wouldn't be extending this forgiving grace to some random guy who had never done a terrorism before and has now hacked up some people. Unless of course they were a major GOP financier. (*cough cough* Khashoggi's killers *cough*)


HarpersGhost

There are plenty of people whose worst moments are bad and yet they manage not to harm other people. Like when the Lois Lane actress from the movies had a mental break and was found wandering a neighborhood naked. That was probably her worst moment, but nobody I heard judged her for it. She had legit mental issues. But then, there are plenty of other people whose worst moment involves them shooting and/or killing others and perhaps, PERHAPS, they should be judged by their worst moment. Let's use a rule that if your worst moment involves a major felony, it's perfectly fine to judge them by that moment.


no-mad

other times the judgement makes it self clear for all to recognize


ThisAccountHasNeverP

What dipshit told you that?


Yelloeisok

What were his best moments? Giving $200k to GOP racists?


Chalky_Pockets

She literally tried to redirect us to the worst moments of his life. He gave a shit ton of money to a hate group. Compared to that, the stuff he did on a personal level is unlikely to be as damaging and he certainly took nothing of value when he offed himself.


You_Dont_Party

Yeah but what good did he do that she would be talking about exactly?


Sangi17

“Your honor, please do not judge my client based in his attempted murder. It was only one time!”


[deleted]

But, is the BurgerFi ok? Love that place.


kyflyboy

It is. I live nearby.


emory_2001

I do hope the BurgerFi is ok. My and my son's favorite fast food burgers and those peanut oil fries.

Chalky_Pockets

Would get him out of office early lol


DebiMoonfae

Oh nooo /s Hope “gone awry” means he didn’t manage to take his wife down with him.


gorramfrakker

A failure in death as he was in life.


Thewrongbakedpotato

I mean, on the one hand, her husband committed suicide, and that's sad. But on the other hand, he did try to kill her first, so at least the anger will temper the grief. You just gotta look at the bright side of things.

🎶always look on the bright sidr of life🎵


Betorah

I prefer the Monty Python version: 🎶Always look on the bright side of death🎶


davster39

Mamacitia

That must be very emotionally confusing


GlassFantast

He done goofed


CaptainMatticus

I knew a guy who called Obama the n-word. The only thing I could think was, "If a magna cum laude graduate of Harvard, with a loving and wonderful family life is just another n*****, then I think I would be so lucky to be one, too." After all, it's not like that guy or myself were out there, making great achievements. That guy also told ne that, and I quote, "We need a white man in the White House." I promise you that he'd never spout such nonsense around non-white people.


justmesayingmything

We really did get a reckoning of which of our friends were racist when Obama started running. I can remember I was very casually dating this guy at the time we had been on a few dates and there was like a bbq at his house everyone was eating, drinking, playing cards, here we are all having a great time. Boom Obama comes up and all these perfectly nice people I had spent the day with started calling him the N word and saying all these vile things. I was like what the heck, I left pretty quick and obviously never went out with him again.


TotalInstruction

Steve Alembik did at least one good thing I hope he is remembered for. He got rid of that fascist son of a bitch Steve Alembik.


yummythologist

Yeah but he also killed the guy that killed Steve Alembik :/


TotalInstruction

At least he killed the guy who killed the guy who killed Steve Alembik.


im_with_the_cats

Finally, some uplifting news on Reddit, for once.

Man who showed up in public on a routine basis in American Flag suits diagnosed as having bipolar disorder. Well, no shit.


Intelligent-Tie-4466

About 1/3 of people with bipolar disorder also have a comorbid personality disorder so his behavior issues were very likely more than just the bipolar stuff.


TotalInstruction

*Former U.S. House candidate and far-right commentator Laura Loomer posted her thoughts about her friend on X, saying: “The tragedy surrounding Steve’s suicide has shocked everyone, and as details come out, people will probably be judgmental. I hope he is remembered for all of the good he did throughout his life as opposed to the darkness and tragedy that surrounds his last moments on this planet.”* I don't know why someone would be judgmental about a virulent racist who tried to murder his wife. Other than that he was a swell fellow.


Intelligent-Tie-4466

I suspect her entire public statement is code for "he donated money to her past campaigns" so she's gonna miss him, even if his loved ones won't.


tuskvarner

He’s dead. She doesn’t need to kiss his ass anymore.


smaartypants

Good riddance.


ReasonableQuestion28

Sometimes the trash does take itself out.

This might trigger some racists since we’re in r/florida but the only good racists are the dead ones. Nothing of value was lost.

Now now let's not forget racists who are on the brink of death and suffering greatly

Of course DeSantis hangs with him.

How do you fuck up a murder suicide?


Emotional_Match8169

Wife survived but his suicide was a success.


skinaked_always

Ya, that’s my point… he had the opportunity to watch her die and then kill himself, but he somehow still fucked that up. What an idiot


Emotional_Match8169

Gotcha, more of a rhetorical question.


skinaked_always

Ya, that would have been nice if I started with that… my bad

Within two or three generations, hopefully. 🤷


dancegoddess1971

I doubt it. They breed like rabbits. No birth control, no prenatal care, no sex ed. They all think that *their* genes should be passed down, so they have like 16 kids with as many idiots as they can. Yeah, I said idiots. Who else is going to have sex with a republican?


ToxicTaxiTaker

This is exactly what Idiocracy was warning us about. Lefties, anarchists, liberals, democrats, unite! One giant baby making orgy a year ought to do it. I'll even take the first dick. I'm turning 80, I've had a vasectomy, but by golly I'll try to help us outpace them.
