You know who else has dead eyes? This dead-eyed Q-tip

And then we have crazy eyes

Seriously, I gotta hold on to that pic of Fat Nixon. That is the picture of Dorian Gray.

Gee, Brian. Must be hard to see that picture from the helicopter you are in flying over a war zone.
Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to type that. I guess my eyes went dead.

It’s an attempt to humanize the shooter.

“Aside from the obvious weight gain, people will note his eyes have gone dead in the mugshot,”

And?

At least Williams didn’t say the guy looks like Brian Wilson.

Well, I guess if this was a Marvel superhero movie, Brian, he might have used his “dead eyes” to kill his fellow students. But he used a fucking gun. Stop formulating your stupid psychoanalysis from a goddamned photograph. What, did you take lessons in telepathy from Bill Frist?

So now we’re going to be rounding up fat people with joyless expressions?

Start with Trump.

Right? Like you’re gonna have a glowing smile and sparkling eyes in your mug shot. smh.

Yeah, that’s really what that comment was about: no new information available, and the control room goes ‘We have a new photo from Facebook, we’re putting it up…’

Pence is the foreskin discarded after a circumcision, and Trump is the penis it came from.
Norman Bates, however, is every male Republican candidate in 2018.

That’s an easy thing to say when you know he just killed at least 10 people and injured several others.

If Williams really wants to prove he’s on to something, then he should go through random mugshots to try to pick out the killer without knowing any details of the crime. It’s not that easy. But I suppose we want to think a “normal” person would never do such a thing. That it has to be a uniquely evil individual characterized by his “dead eyes”.

It’s as simplistic and fallacious as the NRA’s “good” guy vs. “bad” guy with a gun. You’re not a “bad” guy until you’ve killed someone and you don’t have “dead eyes” until you’ve killed someone. Everything is clear in retrospect.

At least the “humanizing the shooter” attempts are early now. It was a month and a half, before this story got published
