      Not if he dies a horrific public death before that happens. I definitely wouldn’t wish death on anyone. Not a gruesome death like that. What, with his genitals smashed, his guts removed, and his eyes skewered by hot pokers all while he’s alive screaming in agony as the world watches. It would be horrible to wish that one someone, and we shouldn’t.

        If something that cruel we’re to happen we would need to honor his greatness with a burial monument publicly accessible to everyone. As long as people don’t urinate or defecate on the monument it would be great.
