Summary
Judge Stephen Yekel, 74, died by suicide in his courtroom on his last day in office after losing a re-election bid.
He was found Tuesday morning at Effingham County State Courthouse, with investigators believing the incident occurred late Monday or early Tuesday.
Yekel, appointed in 2022, had recently attempted to resign but was denied by Governor Brian Kemp.
He was also facing a wrongful termination lawsuit from a former court employee.
Got it, nobody gets to think or discuss until you feel safe.
I literally said the word “maybe” and ended it with a question mark and you’ve decided I want to silence people. Amazing.
All I was hoping for was people being a little tactful about a goddamn suicide, but I guess suggesting that doing that would be nicer is NAZI CENSORSHIP.

I’ll answer your question then: No.
Then accept that it’s as dickish as these comments.
This thread is fucked up. I hope nobody here has to think back to it one day and wonder if their loved one deserved to be made fun of even if they did wrong in life.

Well I’m sorry that you and others lack the small amount of empathy it takes to have the tact to not make fun of someone who literally just killed themselves.
But silly me, suicide his hilarious, do continue. I’m sure whatever he did was totally deserving of death and his wife and four kids will see the funny side. And if they don’t, fuck their feelings.

Sure, dude. Sure.
I’ll just quote what I said to the other person:

Maybe take a look at those big feels of yours.
What the fuck does that even mean?

? I’m just happy a judge died.
As I asked someone else, would you be happy if a judge was raped?
And I said that because I was accused of trying to censor people by daring to suggest that maybe wait until the body is cold before making jokes. Turns out, based on an article someone else pasted, his wife ruined them financially, which could be a motive for the suicide rather than anything nefarious he may have done. Why is that a thing to be happy about, someone killing themselves because their spouse destroyed their future just because of their profession?
Also, are you suggesting we do away with judges? What would be the alternative?

Sorry, the alternative to a judicial system is jokes? So someone commits a murder and you tell them a knock-knock joke?
