Pete Kegstand practically wet himself with joy over the prospect of livestreaming a public execution by firing squad. what the fuck is wrong with this broken-inside ghoul? Thank you for your attention to today's post, in which I attempt to figure it out. link is here: bit.ly/4AZ9Zvb
Did you notice how completely fucking excited Piss-Drunk Pete was, in that clip? He was absolutely giddy with glee as he burbled away at a mile a minute about how the military was going to publicly kill the shit out of someone. That’s insane. Nobody should be that happy about meting out death — and nobody who’s that over-the-moon about killing should be put in charge of the lives of others.
