    “He wasn’t afraid to speak his mind”, and what were his opinions? No one that’s “mourning” calls out his views specifically lol

      Step forward: we hear
      That you are a good man.
      You cannot be bought, but the lightning
      Which strikes the house, also
      Cannot be bought.
      You hold to what you said.
      But what did you say?
      You are honest, you say your opinion.
      Which opinion?
      You are brave.
      Against whom?
      You are wise.
      For whom?
      You do not consider your personal advantages.
      Whose advantages do you consider then?
      You are a good friend.
      Are you also a good friend of the good people?

      Hear us then: we know.
      You are our enemy. This is why we shall
      Now put you in front of a wall. But in consideration of your merits and good qualities
      We shall put you in front of a good wall and shoot you
      With a good bullet from a good gun and bury you
      With a good shovel in the good earth.

      Also, why don’t we have Brecht emojis?
