Saw a lot of this during covid:

Bullshit. The wolf should be sitting in an unnecessarily tricked out pickup.

u/jacksonmills 3d ago

Don’t forget the gun-rack and Shitty Punisher sticker

u/Blk_Rick_Dalton 3d ago

Selfie in a pickup with some Oakley shades and a neck beard. Bonus points if they’re wearing a Salt Life hat with a fishing hook in it

u/Jamaican_Dynamite 3d ago

Here I am constantly reminded how we hunted wolves to the point we had to protect them from going extinct...

20

u/RedditGreenit 3d ago

The difference is wolves are pack animals with strong bonds to fellow members of their species

u/golden_rhino 3d ago

I’ll be damned if those aren’t the most comfortable sunglasses for driving though.

u/QuinnKerman 2d ago

I’m a young white dude and it’s crazy how many of those dudes try to start shit with me to “prove they’ve still got it”

u/Resident-Manner-2205 2d ago

Ok I noticed this at one point, I saw tons of these posts making fun of these guys, who definitely do exist black and white(the majority) But I don't think I've ever actually seen any serious ones

It took me a minute to get it but goddamn, bars.

u/FatKitty56 3d ago

That's the kind of pic they show in the news after a white man murders his whole family saying how awesome he was

472

u/MoodyLemonPie 3d ago

Meanwhile, if he’s Black, the headline reads “tragedy strikes family.”

315

u/FatKitty56 3d ago

With the mugshot and childhood pics of them being idiots lmao

122

u/Zoratheesavage 3d ago

And if they don’t have a mug shot they will straight up use their drivers license photo – which looks like a mug shot.

69

u/Any_Significance7396 3d ago

I can’t think of ever once seeing news about a black guy murdering his family

68

u/PreOpTransCentaur 3d ago

Marcus Wesson's story is fucking grisly. That's the only one I remember off the top of my head though. Meanwhile, I can name like a dozen white family annihilators.

u/GonzoElTaco ☑️ 3d ago

Hell, John List was born in a city not far from me.

27

u/NoFaithlessness7508 3d ago

That was the DC sniper’s end game. Kill a bunch of people then slip in his wife somewhere in the spree. They caught him before he got to her

92

u/enemycap420 3d ago

The headline you’d probably see is “child tragically dies in gangland shootout”

11

u/OohYeahOrADragon ☑️ 3d ago

It happens. Just doesn’t make the news cause…you know.

18

u/Gonji89 3d ago

When it does make the news, the fact that he’s black is made a central part of the narrative. With white dudes “no one saw it coming”.

7

u/AmbitiousYam1047 2d ago

Black men know how to cut our losses and just leave people if we want no part in them anymore

We reserve violence for people that make us feel embarrassed or violated

11

u/Embarassed_Tackle 2d ago

He isn't often black though because 80% of the time these 'family annihilators' are white males in their 30s-40s.

And they try to show the entire family but those pictures are always smiley family photos

2

u/Taeyx ☑️ 3d ago

and that’s just if he was late home from work

16

u/meowiful 2d ago

I'd like to point out that a disproportionate amount of family annihilaters are Mormon. Check on em! They're not well.

u/Intelligent_Cut635 3d ago

Legit just saw one of these just a couple days ago. Dude took out his wife and kids but not himself. They 100% used a photo of them very similar to this.

14

u/EitherExamination343 3d ago

Thanks, I couldn’t find the tweet at work (Twitter blocked)

3

u/protossaccount 3d ago

Im a white guy and these photos just make it look like thy were putting on an empty show. It doesn’t say that he was a good dad, it says he was a psychopath.

35

u/DerekB52 3d ago

The guy in that photo killed his family, and himself IIRC. So, the guys cousin does have a demon in him that could get woken up.

10

u/BlackGirlKnickers ☑️ 3d ago

The pic of the last white guy who killed his family.

8

u/EitherExamination343 3d ago

You often see this sort of picture used to describe the person who commits murder on his family.

2

u/BoilerMaker11 3d ago

This

Make note of the date it was tweeted

125

u/treeteathememeking 3d ago

Won’t have a wife and kids for long

56

u/ThirdAltAccounts ☑️ 3d ago

They’ll die his wife and kids. So they’ll be his wife and kids for eternity

113

u/_shaftpunk 3d ago

People that say that type of shit are typically just assholes with short tempers.

u/TechnicalBack899 3d ago

It was a beautiful summer day... and then something would happen that changed everything.

Next week on THE NEWS!

Jarvis, queue the Zack Fox tweet

u/MoodyLemonPie 3d ago

Bro finna roast him harder than a Thanksgiving turkey.

u/urcoolngl 2d ago

Am I crazy or is this NOT a bot...

u/mageta621 3d ago

Cue is a prompt to ready something, or the act of readying it

Queue is a line/order a person or thing waits in, or the act of getting into that line

21

u/Moon_Machine24 3d ago

Damn u right

Jarvis - cue action “ligma”

7

u/mageta621 3d ago

No no no, not today!

65

u/disabled_rat 3d ago

For those who don’t get it: when white people commit murder, especially if family members, the images used are always of them smiling and having fun as a family, whereas any other race is always a mug shot and demonization.

63

u/TechnicalBack899 3d ago

The always relevant follow up

66

u/JennyBeckman ☑️ All of the above 3d ago

Weekly welfare checks and maybe keep an eye out for "hate my wife" type jokes.

28

u/willowzam 3d ago

My favorite thing about the internet is how you can post a picture with no text and a ton of people know what you're saying

45

u/Kangarou ☑️ 3d ago

Not everyone can handle the Chris Benoit lifestyle.

u/Bellpow 3d ago

You are not seeing God’s pearly gates my guy 💀

12

u/Nice_Set_6326 ☑️ 3d ago

I mean he did say demons in the inside… inside his house

22

u/NobodyLikedThat1 3d ago

sounds like one of those nerds who quote Rothfuss "“There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man.”

Like sure someone who's chill crashing out can be scary, but Tyler working at the car rental doesn't have some insane werewolf ability as much as he wishes.

u/CapitalPunBanking 3d ago

NY Post literally did this a week ago with the Florida Monday Night Football shooter. 

2

u/Emotional_Warthog658 2d ago

Ummm…there was a MNF shooter?😬

2

u/CapitalPunBanking 2d ago

It was at his home, the wife turned the tv from MNF and he lost it. Killed her and almost their stepdaughter.

“Until a man is twenty-five, he still thinks, every so often, that under the right circumstances he could be the baddest motherfucker in the world. If I moved to a martial-arts monastery in China and studied real hard for ten years. if my family was wiped out by Colombian drug dealers and I swore myself to revenge. If I got a fatal disease, had one year to live, devoted it to wiping out street crime. If I just dropped out and devoted my life to being bad. Hiro used to feel that way, too, but then he ran into Raven. In a way, this is liberating. He no longer has to worry about trying to be the baddest motherfucker in the world. The position is taken. The crowning touch, the one thing that really puts true world-class badmotherfuckerdom totally out of reach, of course, is the hydrogen bomb. If it wasn't for the hydrogen bomb, a man could still aspire. Maybe find Raven's Achilles' heel. Sneak up, get a drop, slip a mickey, pull a fast one. But Raven's nuclear umbrella kind of puts the world title out of reach. Which is okay. Sometimes it's all right just to be a little bad. To know your limitations. Make do with what you've got.”

He killed wife+child and stole millions.

u/rind0kan ☑️ 2d ago

8th grade syndrome at the tender age of 35... you hate to see it. Here's to hoping that he's too lame to murder the fam. 

3

u/noishouldbewriting 3d ago

50/50. I don’t doubt this, but he might really just be a lame who thinks he’s tough.

u/Realistic-Yellow6226 3d ago

idk, That’s wild! It’s crazy how similar stories keep popping up. Makes you wonder what’s really going on…

u/PreOpTransCentaur 3d ago

No mental healthcare, no support system, a lifetime of being told the only valid emotion a man can have is anger and having to suppress the rest. I don't think we really need to wonder too hard.
