What a shame that he gave his life for Trump's idiocy. Trump doesnt even give a shit about him. I wonder how he felt about that in his last moments.

RIP

one of my favorite republican politicians, and ceo of one of my favorite pizza joints from my childhood

it's regrettable that he didn't take better safety precautions at such a large rally, and i concur with other posts itt that politicized misinformation is indeed responsible for this tragic development as well as others like it

yeah Im confused why this guy deserves even an ounce of sympathy. His family? Sure feel bad for them since they lost a loved one, but the man himself? Fuck it. Why show sympathy? The man spread dangerous misinformation, got himself sick, and most likely got several other people sick. He helped turn a health issue into a political issue and it killed him. Why are people pretending to get on their high horse about this guy?

maybe because he was a person, flawed like you. i hope if you are ever taken with bad influence in your life people aren't so callous when you die. you were good once

Hermain Cain was spreading misinformation and hate till the day he died. The only kind of sympathy I feel for him is a tinge of sadness that he was just a disposable tool for the GOP in the end. They didn't care about him.

Irrelevant because I wasnt even saying he got the virus there but for the sake of entertaining this.

Nah, Im still good. A single gamefaqs post cant change that. The difference between Cain and myself is my flaws and mistakes havent potentially put thousands of people in danger. If that changes and I die you have my permission to be the the first person callous about my death.

So you admit the reason you shouldn't be ridiculed for your comparable mistakes is because you're a loser? Fair enough.

Unless the poster is an infallible human being than both him and Cain share in common flaws in their day to day existence.

Poster concedes the point that Cain has the influence to sway the opinions thousands of people so comparatively speaking poster is a loser.

I feel a bit bad that the reply went over your head but my reading comprehension is just fine :)
The only thing over my head is the mountain sized idiotic leaps in logic taking place in your posts. Personally, I'd be embarrassed to post the stupid shit you say.

it's 100% fair to point out that it was a bad idea for him to attend a rally during a pandemic, especially without a mask. this was completely preventable if he just took precautionary measures instead of downplaying the pandemic. I think the people that are mad at having this pointed out are people who sympathize with the knuckleheads who start throwing a tantrum in walmarts whenever they're told to please wear a mask

Stupidity isnt a reason for not having sympathy
Cain was in an influential position as a household name. He used this opportunity to promote dangerous misinformation and might have caused others to die by doing so. I wouldnt have wished death on the man, but he doesnt deserve sympathy.

When did you go mask off conservative

Man died to the thing he adamantly said was no big deal and that precautions arent needed/tired of the precautions and echoed that sentiment to hundreds of thousands of people. That is rightfully worthy of criticism

You really went off the deep end with this post. If someone gets killed by a train after publicly downplaying the dangers of standing on train tracks, it's perfectly reasonable to view their death as a cautionary example of the dangers of standing on train tracks, regardless of their political affiliation. I myself am not pleased with some of the more callous posts in this topic, but it would be a particularly pathetic course of action to use such posts as reaffirmation of the particular brand of partisan hackery that helped lead to Cain's tragic and unnecessary death in the first place.

The thread shows that people are shitty no matter what party they belong to.

A few weeks ago a bunch of people got upset that Hannity kept celebrating the number of deaths in democratic ran cities like Chicago or NYC. People said he was celebrating the deaths of others to push his political agenda and that the GOP is pathetic for following along.

Today a bunch of people on the left are doing the same thing about Cain's death.

Holy shit dude. He is not an enemy because he has an R. He deliberately posted misinformation, openly defied guidelines, downplayed the severity of the virus despite the fact he was immunocompromised, and then died from it after putting that out to the ether to hundreds of thousands of people. That is deserving of criticism and death does not change that. I know youre not this braindead

I'm still waiting to see an example of somebody in this topic "celebrating" his death or saying he deserved this outcome

Saying you don't have sympathy because of him spreading misinformation is not an endorsement of his death and only a child would think it is.
They're conflating apathy with malice.

Some of them are the same types who would run over protesters if they were blocking the road.
