@dichroic101 Fuck yourself. Ron Paul is a rightwing religious nut bag who doesn't even accept evolution. And stop fucking spamming every single video, even the ones that have nothing to do with Ron Paul, which is most of them
I wish someone would have said that at my cousin's funeral. He too died in Afghanistan but the whole family is so brain washed they think he is still floating around helping them with their lives. It's pathetic and sad beyond measure. The reality of his death will never be realized with all these LIES!!!
@rustyschackleford100 I'm so sorry for your loss. May all the fun, loving, and priceless memories you have with your cousin, speed the healing in your heart.
At some point I hope you can find the strength to rise above the anger and open the eyes of those that are brainwashed. You are not alone.
"I don't come to your church and tell you it's bullshit." that's something I dream about, but I'm sure the 96% religious US population would see it fit to lock me up for disturbing the peace...
I am a Christian and every time I see this I am very happy. I am glad they were able to honor Pat the way he wanted to be honored, rather then the way we wanted to see him honored.
I have one major question though. How is it that he can be so calm in front of camera when he references his speech at his brother's funeral? There's no denying that he went through such a tough time with his brother's death, but how/why is it that he's so nonchalant?
(don't get me wrong though. I respect all the Tillmans. The way they were treated b/c Pat was an atheist is just fucked up).
@TheResilient5689 Are you serious? Who the hell are you to judge his feeling? My father passed away when i was very young and not every time i talk about him or share a memory do i get so emotional that i have to cry or express some sort of grief at every moment. It comes in waves. Some times out of no where. Don't judge by a few minutes on a tv show that he isn't affected by the loss of his brother.
@spurge69 If you read my comment completely, you would know that I wasn't intending to ridicule or judge him in any way. I was asking a legitimate question. I don't deny the fact that he was affected by his brother's death, and I certainly sympathize with him in that regard. There's no need to be so belligerent with me.
@JN5B11 How can somebody hate something they don't believe exists? How do you not get this? Atheists don't hate god. They simply don't believe in it. For politician's to opportunistically appropriate Tillman's funeral to indulge in their magical beliefs for political points is, as Richard said, as disrespectful as it would be for an atheist to go to a religious service and tell the deceased person's family that the afterlife is a myth.
This is the info I got from the Tillman Story. Pat Tillman didn't want a military service, he said so himself in paperwork he filled out. It may not have taken place in Arlington but it was a military service. Members of the military actually tried to pressure his wife to have it at Arlington. He was not a religious man in any stretch. His mom said that all her boys were fond of the f-word. He is Richard's brother, he got to say whatever he wanted and NEVER has to justify it. I wouldn't..
I find it odd that the actual shooter was never grilled any worse than he was...This could be misinformation on my part but I've never seen an interview with him. In my opinion I think hearing a bit more from him would clarify a lot of elements in the Tillman ordeal. Moreover, being an atheist can only be a sin if the actual atheist believes in sin (which obviously they do not). Go figure?????
You know, when my Atheist friends are having a hard time and such,I usually say "It's cool man, I'll pray for you." Really just another way of saying, "You'll be in my thoughts." I'm pretty glad none of them FREAK THE FUCK OUT and start bitching about how offended they are that I would dare pray for them... "He's with God." Is pretty much a christian just saying, "Hey, he's not suffering anymore." There really is no reason to be offended.
@Vincentsdream Well the christian saying that "Hey he's not suffering anymore" is very offensive to his family and friends. Pat had a great life, filled with love, and he had so much more to accomplish, and all that was cut short. To say that his life was filled with suffering, is sick and twisted and highly disgusting. As his brother so beautifully said "He's fucking dead", and thats all there is to it
@Vincentsdream When you tell your "Atheist friends" I'll pray for you, they are being too polite because they don't want to offend you back. You have just insulted them, you condescended to them, you were crass and rude to them. You know they don't believe in God. They have their reasons. They actually have used reason to figure out there is no evidence to support god. Yet you still say this to them? I'll pray for you? They probably go home and think you are a rude idiot.
@Vincentsdream And if you want to be polite in the future, you can say what you just explained you actually mean. "You'll be in my thoughts" and "Hey, he's not suffering anymore." Those are not offensive or condescending. You should apologize to your friends if indeed they are your friends. They may just tolerate you. I do have christian friends who also say these things to me sometimes and believe me while I may love them, it puts a distance between us when they do.
@mikejerusalem1229 who the fuck r u to judge him his brother died and john mccaine and the other people were speaking things about pat tilman and they didn't even know him and everything they said was contrary to pats beliefs; Richard tilman was the only person there that spoke that really knew cared and loved pat so he was pissed at what they said and spoke from his heart so u believe what u wanna believe but u have no fucking right to speak about how other people view the world....
God does exit and he gave mr Tillman free will to believe or not to believe , god is free of all wants and doesn't need mr. Tillman to believe in him what a miserable soul to swear several times at his brothers memorial wow what a loser
@mikejerusalem1229 if got really does "exit", like you say, he probably doesn't spend his time critiquing people on how to behave at their brother's military funeral on youtube. You're a tool.
When more people get the balls to speak out like Richard did, the automatic use of religious blathering at memorial services will become as inappropriate as any other silly assumption.
wow, so whether he was religious or not, memorial service always addresses God which apparently your parents were in favor of. Pat must be so proud you moron.
@BooHiss94 Are you mad bro??? Lemme guess, you lovingly believe that one atom ate another atom in the darkness of deep space and then farted and lo and behold, here we are. But it still doesnt change the fact that Richard Tillman is a FUCKING CUNT!!
@JRF1961 Yes...it's more believable that atoms ate each other over all religious views! Lets assume there's a god, so answer me this: Why would god want to be worshiped? Does he/she have such a huge ego and want to see people worship them?
@williemetoyer1 No kidding. His journal was destroyed purposefully, his clothes, the death was immediately covered up, there was an explosion that lured his team back into the canyon which no one was sufficiently explained. To me it says he witnessed and wrote about things that would expose the war as unjust. It also says to me people read his journal and reported on him. His team was split up purposefully, the killers set off a nade to lure his team back and he was purposefully killed.
@williemetoyer1 Negligence is the last cover for government/military when their lies are exposed. Destroying the journal would do nothing to cover up a negligent murder or friendly fire, it would only be destroyed to get rid of evidence of a motive for murder. That is what common sense tells me. Another thing, when they finally had the media admit 'friendly fire' they said 'it was the fog of war, it was dark...etc' saying it was night time, later it comes out it was during the day.
@williemetoyer1 I think the motive was contained in the journal and it was destroyed. I don't think it was simply parts of his team murdered him out of dislike. Everything points to them being ordered to from their higher ups. Everything went perfectly to make sure it went down in a nice and neat fashion. His team being split, them not communicating (the other part of the team) with them about their whereabouts. The willful cover up fully utilizing the media to disorientate and confuse...etc
Some can not seem to grasp the utter betrayal. The government he was willing to lose his life fighting for murdered him. It would be no different to be a secret service agent tasked with protecting the president stepping in front of a man he thought might be a gunman..then is shot in the back by the president himself for witnessing something he shouldn't have. Honestly it makes me sick. This concocted story about his heroic death reminds me of the lynch story, the flight 93 story, and on and on.
Its funny how with the media and government day turns into night, figuratively and literally. The reason for the time of day lie is obvious as well and was to prevent people from asking how it could be friendly fire and not murder if it was day they should of seen it was friendlies they were firing on. Logic tells me it was a targeted killing, every shred of evidence points towards this.
There's only one differencec someof us are forgiven and some are not. Richard Tillman is an idiot. Pat Tillman again was a great man for human standards. But denying God is stupid.
@lobaker1 Richard isn't an idiot, I grew up in the same schools and neighborhoods as him and Pat. He's very angry about what happened (rightfully so due to the ensuing debacle that was the cover up) and he has chosen to not believe in God. I, and hopefully you, can hope he one day sees the error in his ways.
@lobaker1 "Pat Tillman was a great man...but too bad he went to hell because he was an idiot. Oh yeah, his whole family are idiots. Drinking at a funeral? How dare they want to remember how great a man he was, and all the good times they had with him. I'm offended people view the world differently than me, so I'll rub in how much "better" I am and how they're all doomed no matter how good they are."
Am I gettin' your shit straight? Hard to tell which end it comes out of.
Real classy family, cussing and drinking at his brothers funeral. doesn't seem like a great way to honor a brother that is in hell for denying Jesus Christ. Another lost soul, so sad. Jesus said "if you deny me before men, I 'll will deny you before the father. Everyone who calls upon the name of the lord shall be saved. It's that simple. being a "good" person doesn't get you to heaven. Faith in Jesus christ does.
@lobaker1 You hypocritical sanctimonious religionists never miss a chance to condemn or sit in judgement of others while perched atop your high-horse. The more one talks about being superior and "saved", the more it sounds like the one you are trying to convince is yourself. And that you must have a lot of evil and are assuaging your own guilt.
@lobaker1 So according to you, the nicest person in the world will go to "hell" if they dont believe? Wow, thats a great God you believe in there. I like to think of "God" as a being which doesnt judge or conden anybody. You are a very narrow minded person and need to come out of your little box.
Pat Tillman enlisted and gave up a million dollar contract with the nfl to put his life in danger for his country. he did not believe in heaven and knew this was his only life. If this man isn't a hero I don't know who is. It is just a shame what his country did in return and used his friendly fire death as propaganda and lied to his family.
wow, i cant stop watching this! Im not exactly sure if i agree 100% with what hes saying, but its fucking amazing that he said that either way. respect
good for his brother, go and tell it how it is. got crooked as fuckers like mcain up there trying to talk about a man he didnt even know. Religion aside, he died serving his country
@katkal3 agnostics are just people who are scared to call themselves atheists. they are still technically in the atheist category. they lack a belief in a deity. agnostic seems to just sound better to the religious folk. makes it harder for them to demonize you and make an enemy out of you.
Regardless what Tillman believed about religion. Regardless how he died. One thing we do know, Pat Tillman believed in honor and country. We know he very rarely did interviews and was not outspoken. Pat Tillman chose to use actions, not words. It is very sad to see his younger brother standing there in a t-shirt with a beer in his hand , disgracing himself. Something Pat would never have done if the roles were reversed. I believe that later in life Richard will greatly regret what he said.
Also I find it disturbing that he would "dress up" for the TV interview, but dress like a complete slob at his own brothers funeral. Says alot. Richard Tillman is obviously no where near as a stand up guy as Pat Tillman. If he really looks up to his older brother then maybe he should think more about how his older brother would have acted.
@MrDucelee Im saying his brother behaved like a typical spoiled third child that was completely beligerant, that only was thinking of himself and showed up at his brothers wedding in a fucking t-shirt. And yes, people that volenteer for army rangers dont show up to funerals in t-shirts cussing in public. I dont know him any better than his own brother, I just know a piece of shit when I see one.
Pat seemed like a very laid back guy who would not minded, but I didn't know him so I should not speculate. The brother was upset that others were speaking of Pat in a religious sense when that was not who he was. If someone spoke for your family member after their death in a way you knew they wouldn't have liked, you wouldn't be at all upset? And lol at calling him a piece of shit for ..... wearing a T shirt and getting emotional at his own brothers funeral.
@MrDucelee Tell me something, would you say that someone that turned down millions by way of NFL contract to make virtually no money in the military(during a period of war), feels strongly about honor? Do you believe that someone that shows up to a funural in a t-shirt and jeans drinking beers and cussing at the whole congregation that gathered to honor a person that passed away, feels stronly about honor? Nevermind,, your right and Im wrong. We should all do what Richard did. LOL
IM A CHRISTIAN SO I DONT AGREE WITH THIS GUY, BUT I DO LIKE THE ASPECT OF JUST TELLING IT HOW YOU SEE IT WITHOUT ALL THE FUBB DUBB BULLSHIT. WE NEED STRAIGHT TALK IN THIS FUCKING COUNTRY AND WE NEEDED IT 100 FUCKING YEARS AGO. IF WE HAD IT IN SPADES THEN THESE SOCIOPATH FUCKS LIKE BUSH, RUMFELDS AND CHENEY AND OBAMA AND THE COPS AND LAWMAKERS COULD NOT FUCK AMERICANS OVER FRONTWARDS AND BACKWARDS.
This guy is a fucking rock star, third only to his two older brothers. In fact his entire family is admirable. Pat Tillman walked on fucking water, not Jesus.
Respect - smart and funny. That's what's wrong with him... he's too smart to fit in with his idiot compatriots. Though, I wish more people were like him.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Atheism is a Religion, because you believe, you have faith there is no God without proof. When you die, it is only then you see the truth.
Go back to the definition of faith. Faith is believing in something without proof. Religion is a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith. Atheism is defined as the doctrine or belief that there is no God. Therefore Atheism is a religion.
@Gracelandification Holy shit, for the LAST TIME, Atheism CANNOT be a religion. A religion is defined by a belief in a supernatural force or being, atheists do not believe there is such a thing. By the very defenition of religion atheism cannot be one! Atheists do not believe there is a god because there is no evidence, that IS NOT FAITH. Faith requires you to believe in something without evidence. Stop trying to redefine words to suit your purpose.
@s5b678 tru that! plus religion means some kind of consensus on a general set of principles, and there is none. there's so much dissidence on how morals should b set, people should conduct themselves around superstitious people, its unbelievable. there's no common thread amongst them all. so, yeah, so far from religion its not even funny
@AlessioDAlessandro OOOHHH! nothing to get! Its all relative. that fact that you believe a story that has been twisted,manipulated, lied about, etc....is SAD...christ is bummed people are being killed for his name? but really its not his name, just like the story they tell you that to get you behind them. really after their money,oil and control, like this lies about religion you believe. Try living in the present the true gift from the spirit. Be more spiritual less religious.
We were given this wonderful life to live, and to live it to the fullest. If there is an after life then great that's awesome, but isn't it kind of selfish to think this life isn't enough for you. That your owed more "like an after life. " I think it's sad that this magical gift of life is meaningless to some of you without the exsistance of an after life or god. The Tillman family deserves your respect. You shouldn't be spitting on their believes, they're not spitting on yours.
to the idiots who say how sad it is to have no faith, I say how sad it is to be diluted by dogmatic religious bullshit, we live life because we know its the only one we know we are guaranteed and live it to our fullest, you BS your way though a 'miserable existence of being a ugly dirty sinner' in hopes for a paradise that probably won't be there, whos the idiot? seriously...
@ViperRob42 seriously, our souls are eternal and we DO go on to a better life after we pass away. How sad to live your entire life not knowing this and thinking that this is it.
@JOHNNYBIX38 - I find it sad that people live their life expecting more in an afterlife. How many moments in time have those people wasted because they thought there would be more later? Is one life not enough? If a person assumes that this life is the only one he is going to get, then wouldn't it make sense for him to appreciate that one life even more, to take in as much as possible and have more respect for life itself? It does for me. If I'm wrong and heaven does exist, then that's bonus!
No what is bullshit, is that he would go on television and gain attention from his brothers death. Yah props for being honest in honor of your brother, but, really dropped the ball on this one
this guy is so awesome. when i heard what he said in The Tillman Story at the service I though "what a fucking brother!" I hope at my funeral the people that know me best will remind everyone else that I'm fucking dead, I'm not with God, I'm fucking dead.
@53dumey I followed some of your exchange with various posters, and I and others that disagree with you have, and most assuredly take fire some shots. I was not aware there was a petition to pull Maher off the air, much less, the reason therefor. I do laud you for your reasoning for not supporting the petition based on the 1st amend. Notwithstanding any disagreement to the contrary, I always make an effort to acknowledge reasoning such as you put forth.
@53dumey Sigh. Religion didn't give us any of that. Religion can't give us anything physical. The credit for the 'good' done by religions should not be given to the religion, but to the people who's donation made it possible. However, those donations usually arent made soley in the spirit of doing good, but the person either feels they are required to give them as part of their religion, or they are given by people feeling they will get something in return.
People Do give to charity and for many different reasons, I think most religios ppl give from the heart, but I'm sure there are some who think they can buy their way into Heaven.
The catholic Church and other Religous Org.s give freely to charities worldwide.
SAD ASS AMERICANS WHO NEED A REASON TO LIVE AND A REASON FOR THEIR SAD EXISTENCE< BELIEVE IN A BEARDED FAGGOT WHO GAVE THEM THE RIGHT TO SIN UNTIL THEY"RE SPENT. FUCK YOU WHITE AMERICA AND YOUR DUMB FUCKING COUNTRY AND OBVIOUSLY YOUR FAT ASSES! Bush walked all over your ignorant asses/
That has got to be insulting to have people sit there and basically downplay the death of your brother by saying "his in a nice happy place". Especially when he didn't believe in god and neither do you. It is almost like they are saying "eh no big deal, get over it'.
@s5b678 exactly just like he said, an athiest doesnt go to christian services and talk his beliefs so even if christians think they are being nice they need to think of how the family would feel. I believe in God but jesus freaks annoy the shit out of me because not every person in the fuckn world believs in god.....
Wow thats not funny at all.. that whole audience must be filled with athiest. How disrespectful is it to come to another atheists funeral drunk out of your mind, cursing and saying bad things about someone who just died and have the whole crowd laugh? Very Disrespectful.. im not intolorant but atheists are worse than terroists.
Let me get this straight: You're equating a man standing up for his dead brother's beliefs - and offending the sensibilities of a bunch of bible thumpers - with the actions of the very same person that got the poor man killed in Afghanistan in the first place.
@TwinSkies Im not going to answer a queston as stupid as that... ive made my point.. if you didnt understand thats not my fault im not going to repeat myself... if you want answers read the bible.
if you watched the video you'd know that he wasnt "drunk off his mind". he said he had a beer in his hand but hadn't been drinking yet. let him decide how his fucking brother's funeral should be. they knew each other better than you possibly could.
and its funny how you misspell intolerant and say atheists are worse than terrorists as if atheism entails certain beliefs that make people do evil things. you're an idiot. and yes, you are intolerant.
@thunder2falcon15 No im not intolerant. and i over reacted when i said "atheists are worse than terroists" at least terroist believe in a god.... but atheists have no respect for life what so ever. this guy is the prime example. he says "no he's fucking dead" cursing at a funeral and saying the worst about someone who just past is disrespectful to the dead atheists or not. so im pretty sure you fall into that catagory you disrespectful scum.
what's the definition of intolerant? please describe to me how your hatred for atheists does not fit that description. "atheists have no respect for life" - again you're generalizing and being completely dismissive and fucking retarded. im an atheist. im pro-life. you can't put all atheists into one category you fucking hypocrite.
him and his brother clearly had close relations. you can't judge whats respectful or not when they're dealing with each other. it's not your place.
also, to follow up on your "at least terrorists believe in a god" statement (attempt), you're overlooking the fact that almost every war in the history of mankind has been fought in the name of religion. look at the war on "terrorism", the ancient greek wars, the sunni/shiite genocide, the armenian genocide, etc etc etc. and before you say that wars have been fought in the name of atheism, you're wrong. wars are fought in the name of a higher power, either a god or a dictator.
Thank you so much Richard for your courage to speak up on your brother's behalf.
I recently had a friend who died and everyone was saying " Oh, he's in a better place now" And I said " No he's not, he's dead and there's no better place than the here and now"
Thank you so much Richard for your courage to speak up on your brother's behalf.

Richard is right and had the right to tell mccain what was up thats his brother and like he said pat didnt believe in god so he is not with him according to all you religulus idiots. Keep telling it like it is Richard!
He had a glass of Guinness beer which was his brother's favorite beer. He took a sip at the podium as a way to pay tribute to his older brother. This is pointed out in "Boots on the Ground by Dusk" written by Pat's mom Mary Tillman. I suggest you read the book first before making a stupid comment which lacks class. To stand at the podium and tell people what his brother really believed in showed real class and character. Richard is right, "Pat's a fucking champion always will be."
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I can understand Richards feelings, but to bitch about someone invoking God as showing disrespect, when he's drinking at his brothers funeral is also a sign of disrespect.
People telling you that your brother who died of gunshot wounds, violently -- is "not really REALLY dead, but is in a happy-happy joy-joy place with angels and harps" by people that believe that they physically have to eat bits of jesus (transubstantiation) is not merely disrespectful, it's INSANE! To call it offensive is to demean just precisely how preposterous a gesture it really is!
His brother died, he's at the funeral, and DRINKING is disrespectful?

@Vincentsdream When you tell your "Atheist friends" I'll pray for you, they are being too polite because they don't want to offend you back. You have just insulted them, you condescended to them, you were crass and rude to them. You know they don't believe in God. They have their reasons. They actually have used reason to figure out there is no evidence to support god. Yet you still say this to them? I'll pray for you? They probably go home and think you are a rude idiot.
beastshawnee 3 months ago
@Vincentsdream And if you want to be polite in the future, you can say what you just explained you actually mean. "You'll be in my thoughts" and "Hey, he's not suffering anymore." Those are not offensive or condescending. You should apologize to your friends if indeed they are your friends. They may just tolerate you. I do have christian friends who also say these things to me sometimes and believe me while I may love them, it puts a distance between us when they do.

williemetoyer1 6 months ago
@williemetoyer1 No kidding. His journal was destroyed purposefully, his clothes, the death was immediately covered up, there was an explosion that lured his team back into the canyon which no one was sufficiently explained. To me it says he witnessed and wrote about things that would expose the war as unjust. It also says to me people read his journal and reported on him. His team was split up purposefully, the killers set off a nade to lure his team back and he was purposefully killed.

@retroact1ve I agree with you
williemetoyer1 6 months ago
@williemetoyer1 Negligence is the last cover for government/military when their lies are exposed. Destroying the journal would do nothing to cover up a negligent murder or friendly fire, it would only be destroyed to get rid of evidence of a motive for murder. That is what common sense tells me. Another thing, when they finally had the media admit 'friendly fire' they said 'it was the fog of war, it was dark...etc' saying it was night time, later it comes out it was during the day.

williemetoyer1 6 months ago
@williemetoyer1 I think the motive was contained in the journal and it was destroyed. I don't think it was simply parts of his team murdered him out of dislike. Everything points to them being ordered to from their higher ups. Everything went perfectly to make sure it went down in a nice and neat fashion. His team being split, them not communicating (the other part of the team) with them about their whereabouts. The willful cover up fully utilizing the media to disorientate and confuse...etc
retroact1ve 6 months ago
Some can not seem to grasp the utter betrayal. The government he was willing to lose his life fighting for murdered him. It would be no different to be a secret service agent tasked with protecting the president stepping in front of a man he thought might be a gunman..then is shot in the back by the president himself for witnessing something he shouldn't have. Honestly it makes me sick. This concocted story about his heroic death reminds me of the lynch story, the flight 93 story, and on and on.

Its funny how with the media and government day turns into night, figuratively and literally. The reason for the time of day lie is obvious as well and was to prevent people from asking how it could be friendly fire and not murder if it was day they should of seen it was friendlies they were firing on. Logic tells me it was a targeted killing, every shred of evidence points towards this.

Regardless what Tillman believed about religion. Regardless how he died. One thing we do know, Pat Tillman believed in honor and country. We know he very rarely did interviews and was not outspoken. Pat Tillman chose to use actions, not words. It is very sad to see his younger brother standing there in a t-shirt with a beer in his hand , disgracing himself. Something Pat would never have done if the roles were reversed. I believe that later in life Richard will greatly regret what he said.

Atheism is a Religion, because you believe, you have faith there is no God without proof. When you die, it is only then you see the truth.
Go back to the definition of faith. Faith is believing in something without proof. Religion is a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith. Atheism is defined as the doctrine or belief that there is no God. Therefore Atheism is a religion.

@Gracelandification Holy shit, for the LAST TIME, Atheism CANNOT be a religion. A religion is defined by a belief in a supernatural force or being, atheists do not believe there is such a thing. By the very defenition of religion atheism cannot be one! Atheists do not believe there is a god because there is no evidence, that IS NOT FAITH. Faith requires you to believe in something without evidence. Stop trying to redefine words to suit your purpose.

This is pointed out in "Boots on the Ground by Dusk" written by Pat's mom Mary Tillman. I suggest you read the book first before making a stupid comment which lacks class. To stand at the podium and tell people what his brother really believed in showed real class and character. Richard is right, "Pat's a fucking champion always will be."

I can understand Richards feelings, but to bitch about someone invoking God as showing disrespect, when he's drinking at his brothers funeral is also a sign of disrespect.
Richard showed a complete lack of Class.

@53dumey Sorry, but ya fail.
People telling you that your brother who died of gunshot wounds, violently -- is "not really REALLY dead, but is in a happy-happy joy-joy place with angels and harps" by people that believe that they physically have to eat bits of jesus (transubstantiation) is not merely disrespectful, it's INSANE! To call it offensive is to demean just precisely how preposterous a gesture it really is!
His brother died, he's at the funeral, and DRINKING is disrespectful?
