I heard Brown was involved in some shady stuff back in the day.
Wasnt he involved in that scandal? Rest in peace, but lets not forget.
We cant ignore the past. Its important to remember the good and the bad. Rest in peace, but lets not sweep things under the rug. Truth matters.
I cant believe theyre making such a big deal about it. He was just a retired general.
I cant believe people are mourning him when he was a war criminal.
I cant believe they didnt mention his secret passion for knitting socks!
I think his passion for knitting socks is irrelevant to the topic being discussed. Its not a secret worth mentioning if it doesnt contribute to the main point. Lets focus on the important aspects of his life instead of trivial details.
Do you think his death was suspicious? I smell a conspiracy here.
Oh, not every death is a conspiracy, come on. Lets not jump to conclusions without any solid evidence. Sometimes things are just what they seem. Keep a level head and consider all possibilities before making wild accusations.
I bet he faked his death to escape something shady. Conspiracy theory alert!
I cant believe theyre not mentioning his secret alien encounter! #conspiracytheory
