    Good grief. They posted the video. I get that it was live streamed when it happened but reposting it? Just seems bad. People don’t need to see another human die.

    Imagine spending your whole life as a priest and getting cred in the faith and you die in such a way that every single person thinks God had to have killed you for some awful sin. Like, there is automatically an assumption that this guy was touching kids or something.

    Like, I’m an atheist, I don’t believe that. I think that they should have secured the cross better and he died because of poor maintenance.

    But if you’re Catholic. There is no way to not read into far too much. Dude will forever be remembered as the guy God dropped a cross on.

      You’re assuming a coherent world-view there. I don’t know how well that pairs with being Catholic in the first place, though.

        Nah, the main assumption is that Catholics love considering some event as divine intervention and that human beings love gossip. That whole church is whispering about it from one person to another.

      If you’re quick you can hit stop and keep the popup from loading. Or you can just turn off javascript.

      Healthline does something similar if you reject cookies. They redirect you to a dedicated ‘fuck you’ page.

    And that’s why you don’t just throw away that wall anchor, screw and loop that attaches your furniture or cross to the wall.

      I was shocked by that as well. What an illustration into how rotten the world has become. A mainstream news site just casually posting here guys watch the cool way this dude dies live on camera.

      Unnecessary, disrespectful, voyeuristic. Like death porn for the masses

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
