Stop showing his smarmy face EVERYWHERE!

We do not need to see that smug,smarmy, racist face on every channel, every website, every media outlet. He is no hero. STOP showing his face.

Show pictures of the victims. Show his ugly words. But, don't encourage this behavior in others by giving him this status.

STOP. Showing. His. Face.

We - everyone - needs to see the face that represents the ugly racist undercurrent that flows through this country. The only way to eliminate cockroaches is to bring them into the light.

We must put a giant red stamp across his face: "HATE" He likely loves the idea of seeing himself with his smug face and cocky stance holding this weapons and vessels of hate.

I think the idea of infamy drives some people. We don't need to make him famous. We need to show him as the insignificant cockroach that he is.

Smarmy?

That's not what I'd call the dark, brooding, threatening expression I keep seeing.

Not even sure "smug" (contentedly confident of one's ability, superiority, or correctness; complacent) is even appropriate.

Unctuously: —used to describe someone who speaks and behaves in a way that is meant to seem friendly and polite but that is unpleasant because it is obviously not sincere. I admit I had to look it up.

Perhaps there are better descriptive words we can use to describe him.

"Smarmy" threw me, but you're right--one appearance on the screen is more than enough.

I could think of any number of RW assholes that should always bear a label of some sort.

Racist Asshole
Slithering ground crawling snake
Professional social cretin who is subversive to civilized culture

to list a few labels.

The only real difference between Roof and any number of generic Republican assholes is that he's actually murdered people.

Even though they didn't dirty their hands personally, they're still culpable.
