The President of the Islamic Republic of Iran Ebrahim Raisi died in a helicopter crash over the weekend. He shouldn’t be mourned or prayed for. If anything, we should all hope the man is burning in hell.

 The United Nations, unsurprisingly, was generally gutted to learn that Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi — known as the "butcher of Tehran" — died in a helicopter crash over the weekend. In a Monday meeting of the U.N. Security Council, a "moment of silence" was held to mourn the dead murderer rather than his thousands of innocent victims.
