40-year-old Brandon Bernard was killed by lethal injection at 9:27pm local time on Thursday at the federal prison in Terre Haute, Indiana. Bernard was convicted of murder with co-defendant Christopher Vialva in 2000 over the killing of two youth ministers in 1999. Attorneys, congressional representatives and celebrities, such as Kim Kardashian West, were among the thousands who were calling for the scheduled execution of Bernard to be stopped.

Very good.

Brandon Bernard and his accomplices brutally murdered two youth ministers, Todd and Stacie Bagley, on a military reservation in 1999. After Todd Bagley agreed to give a ride to several of Bernard’s accomplices, they pointed a gun at him, forced him and Stacie into the trunk of their car, and drove the couple around for hours while attempting to steal their money and pawn Stacie’s wedding ring. While locked in the trunk, the couple spoke with their abductors about God and pleaded for their lives. The abductors eventually parked on the Fort Hood military reservation, where Bernard and another accomplice doused the car with lighter fluid as the couple, still locked in the trunk, sang and prayed. After Stacie said, “Jesus loves you,” and “Jesus, take care of us,” one of the accomplices shot both Todd and Stacie in the head—killing Todd and knocking Stacie unconscious. Bernard then lit the car on fire, killing Stacie through smoke inhalation. In June 2000, a jury in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas found Bernard guilty of, among other offenses, two counts of murder within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States, and unanimously recommended a death sentence. His conviction and sentence were affirmed on appeal, and his request for collateral relief was rejected by every court that considered it. Bernard is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection on December 10, 2020, at U.S. Penitentiary Terre Haute, Indiana. One of his accomplices, Christopher Vialva, was executed for his role in the Bagleys’ murder on September 22, 2020.

Ritz Crackers just released a TV commercial celebrating Transvestites for the Holidays. I saw it, nearly puked, it’s literally disgusting... go find it, see for yourself.

That, is the new world order, and the tranny crackers crowd would gladly have pardoned this murderer.

21 years later JUSTICE.

Maybe in the 21 years since he embraced the Gospel. In any case, he will be forgotten, and never missed. Not even for a second.

eeyech!

What the heck. The population of trans is what, 0.6 percent.

Everything these guys do is done for product sales. This seems a poor marketing scheme to me.

It’s working real good for Fox I see/sarc

This seems a poor marketing scheme to me.

It did wonders for Gillette razor company with their anti-toxic-masculinity campaign. They lost sales like crazy (I'll never buy again) and the CEO doubled down and said no regrets.

These people can be real fools. The whole idea of a company is to stay alive and you don’t do that by going out there and making enemies of the bulk of the market.

Isn’t Ritz Cracker a racist slur against White southern rich people? Or is the Ritz Hotel advertising that they accept transvestites as clients/customers?

I’m so confused. How does this impact the crossdressing Penn. Secy of Health Services when he/she/it travels to NY, or the possible switch-hitter Rep. Swallowswell and the head of the House Intelligence Committee, Adam Schiff?

{For double-entendre fans, I put a couple in the above paragraph. Have fun deciphering them}
