Actually, I really don't give a shit. That much. I was interested in seeing his reaction when Dotard lost to Joe Biden in a landslide. Perhaps he had family members that will miss him? I mean, if much of his online persona was a put-on and he wasn't as terrible a person as his many comments on WYD indicated that he was. Or his hateful posts on his blog indicated that he was.
On the other hand, there may be people in real life that are glad he is gone. Because I think it much more likely that he was exactly the same in real life (or very close to being exactly the same in real life) as he presented himself online via his "Franco" identity. A Hitler-admiring, Dotard cultist who frequently wrote about the mass execution of Democrats. By a fascist government led by president-for-life Dotard, presumably.
btw, will we ever discover if his real name is "Roger" as the blogger Patriot Mueller (someone who claimed to know him on WYD) said? According to Franco, he didn't know "Pat Riot" (as he called him) and doubted "Pat Riot" knew him. This is very likely a mystery to which the answer will never be known.
AOW writes "I heard from one of his neighbors, who has temporary access to Franco's email account". A neighbor has access to his email account? Hmm. We'll see. I'll watch to see if "Franco" or some other account (that is obviously Franco) starts commenting. Initially "Franco" denied being FreeThinke, although that ruse was quickly debunked. Because he couldn't hide his hatred. Another reason I think this persona was quite likely very close to his own.
AOW does refer to Franco as a "personal friend", however. Indicating that he knew him in real life and not just via blogging. Evidence that suggests Franco really is dead and it is quite likely true that "another black shadow of evil passes to the underworld" (as an commenter wrote anonymously on Lisa's blog).
LOL.
So Franco cashed it in. Can't say I give a shit either. He was, in my opinion, an accomplished purveyor of abject evil. A man who would very probably do the horrific deeds he wrote about if given the opportunity and if belived he could have done so w/out getting caught.
ReplyDeleteIf in fact there actually exists a heaven and hell my money is on Franco spending eternity with Lucifer.
I'm guessing Franco will be happy as his beloved fascist cult leader Dotard donnie will be joining someday in hell (if there really is such a place).
DeleteWow! Free/Franco passed? He and I were briefly friendly. I even spoke to him on the telephone a couple times in when I first knew him. He was charming and quite an accomplished pianist. I couldn’t continue the brief friendship because I could see he had a multiple personality that disturbed me. Twice he ran a “I Hate Shaw” blog post, which he pretended was a way of holding a mirror up to the “haters”. But it was clear to me that it was his sick way of trying to humiliate me, a liberal.
ReplyDeleteHe had a lot of anger and hatred in him, which was sad to see in someone who should have been able to dig into himself and find out what caused this part of his personality. He was too volatile and changeable for me to continue the friendship. A disturbing person, IMO. And yes, his name was Roger.
Interesting. I guess "Patriot Mueller" is likely someone who knew him then.
DeleteYou can hear his piano virtuosity here.
ReplyDeleteStrange... attached to that YouTube there are comments from "Franco Aragosta" and "Trevor Armbuster" (another name I've seen on WYD, so I assume that is him too). Both praise the piano playing. I wonder how many of the other IDs/comments are his? Also, this YouTube includes a photo that Patriot Mueller uses as his avatar. Something he did to say "I know who you are"? I very much doubt those two are the same person. "Patriot Mueller" is still commenting on WYD.
DeleteShaw and others...
ReplyDeleteI really have no idea what to make of Roger/Free/Franco...
The guy claimed to follow Jesus and yet, here's how he would express himself if he disagreed with you...
"Oh you POOR, DEAR thing! BOO fuckin' HOO!
If you give us your address, we'll send you a SYMPATHY CARD, because WE'RE gonna FUCK your stinking, shit-caked LEFTIST ASS so HARD and so LONG, with our SPIKED STEEL CONDOMS, you are gonna fuckin' BLEED to death AFtER a prolonger period of unbearable AGONY.
You can t THAT to the BANK,Tushie Pie.
And this...
BY THE WAY, ... A_S_S_H_O_L_E ... IF YOU DON'T READ WHAT I POST, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT ... W_H_A_T_S_O_E_V_E_R ... TO SAY ONE FUCKIN' ... W_O_R_D ... ABOUT IT.
I DOUBT yOU ARE SUFFICIENTLY LITERATE TO BE ... A_B_L_E ... TO READ WHAT I WRITE WITH EVEN A MODICUM OF UNDERSTANDING ANYWAY, YOU_ DORK.
Then, almost in the next post, or at another site, he would extol the virtues of respecting people, seeking God and trying to love people as the only righteous path.
To me he was a constant contradiction, but I'm sure I am guilty as charged of not really understanding him. His poetry and virtuosity were from a gift he had, but he wouldn't be the first artistic genius who was also haunted by demons.
I hope he is finally at peace.
I saw the same pattern of contradiction (although mostly he was nasty). And I didn't understand it either.
DeleteHe was an egotistical narcissist who, like trump manipulated truth to serve his world view.
ReplyDeleteHe may have actually had a bit of a conscience (somethimg trump totally lacks) that at times caused him to feel guilt for his evil views. Thus the contradiction.
A complex confused man whom I am certain a top notch psychologist would have been been intrigued by.
Whoever and whatever FreeThinke/Franco/Rager was his pain is gone.
Dave, as I expressed on RN's blog, I found Roger/Free/Franco to be a disturbed person who was easily enraged if anyone hinted at disagreement with him. A bit too nutsy for my taste. He certainly had talent and was intelligent, but the other traits were too unpredictable to think of having a normal friendship with him. I agree that at least he's now at peace.
ReplyDeleteIf you consider rotting in the ground to be "at peace" (unless he was cremated).
