It really sucks, but of course it was an idiot from Nassau county 🙄

For anyone who might not know the area, Nassau County is the place that gave us George Santos. It is burgundy-red, only bested in racism by Suffolk county. The police departments are notoriously racist and will pull you over and interrogate you just for driving a beater. This was one of Trump's favorite police departments during his first term, he infamously told them to bash people's heads against their cop cars when arresting them.

Sadly there are many very left leaning people trapped on Long Island, unable to leave because LI is an employment wasteland. It's not cheap to live on LI either.

Anyways, an idiot from Nassau won't be missed.

Don't know how quickly custom vinyl stickers can be bought & delivered, but someone needs to slap a "Died Like A Cartoon Character" achievement on his casket/headstone.

We need a /c/NotFinalDestination, this is literally one of the scenes in the last entry to the franchise.
