Back in HS we used to get drunk and tase each other on dares. It isn't all that. If that guy died of it he probably had some serious heart defect that was going to do him in soon anyway.

No it is accurate. Your post replying to a post calling it B.S. is in it of itself B.S. If it isn't terrorism, what the Hell is it?

You just described every hypocritical democrat who rushed the gun stores last summer after their woke city govts defunded the police. It's terrifying to think of those jittery panicky scared $h!tless old liberals wobbling around with a 3lb 44 magnum revolver with an 8" barrel when a black man knocks on the door with a handful of mis-delivered mail.

LOL. They're such comedians. Reminds me of the Monty Python bit where a British TV anchor intones - "And in other news a man with a gun and one bullet holds the city of Manchester hostage."

I actually hadn't checked in on that story in a day or two. It seems the specifics of his heart attack were casualties of urban legend.

If you still believe the NYT, they agree with the wife's account:


Four people lost their lives during the melee in Washington on Wednesday. One of them was Kevin D. Greeson, 55, of Athens, Ala., who collapsed as he stood among a sea of Trump supporters on the west side of the U.S. Capitol.
Mr. Greeson had been talking to his wife on his phone when he fell to the sidewalk. A New York Times reporter watched as emergency personnel rushed to help, furiously performing chest compressions, but were unable to revive him

Apologies for the misinformation.
