Don’t worry. Mate. They’ll catch the real guy.
I am so tired of seeing that CEOs ugly mug everywhere. Regular people who are killed don’t get their faces plastered everywhere every time there’s news about their killing. It feels like the media are trying to encourage sympathy from the masses, but all I see is a monster who let hundreds of thousands die and/or suffer from crippling ailments for profit.
That man amongst men was in Las Vegas being awesome at the time of the shooting. I seen him.
The guy has balls so big it was impossible not to. Must keep his pant tailor busy.
At least he’ll get better healthcare in prison
“in its most basic terms, this was a killing that was intended to evoke terror”
Who? Who was it to terrorize? Finish your sentence. Was it billionaires who steal money from hard working Americans then let them die from denied coverage? Was the answer?
Terrorism is just an aspect of asymmetric warfare.
Complaining about terrorism usually boils down to “rich people suffering consequences because of poor people.”
Often it’s religious nonsense to be fair. “My God has a bigger imaginary dick than your God and I want your people to be forced to pray to mine” is quite common, sadly.
But obviously this is the other kind, exactly as you say. The rich being shocked and horrified there are consequences for their sociopathic inhumanity. “You cows are just supposed to line up for the captive bolt, you weren’t supposed to kill the bolter! This is outrageous! it’s unfair!”
One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter has never rang so true.
Luke Skywalker: Terrorist
Thomas “Neo” Anderson: Terrorist
George Washington: Terrorist
was intended to evoke terror
So basically, the whole premise of the American death penalty? As opposed to the deaths and bankruptcies that create terror that health insurance companies are allowed to promote, or the terror created by those who arrest mothers getting their health insurance appeals denied because they echo their mottos back to them to attempt to suppress any popular support at a revolution?
I will say, with Trump getting voted in, Americans have shit timing at their attempts at revolutions. This is the last millisecond type of stuff, quite lacking and even somewhat (but not very) controversial.
J6 rioters not terrorist act.
Luigi mangione toughed the golden calf…aka…terrorist
It’s embarrassing that the murder of 1 CEO is a bigger news story than yet another school shooting.
I keep saying incels need to pivot from elementary schools to country clubs.
They can legit be making the world a better place and fighting back against the people who are actually responsible for their suffering.
Rich people don’t have a problem getting laid, ever. In fact, the idea that wealth makes someone more attractive actively contributes to the the rise of incels.
In fact, the idea that wealth makes someone more attractive actively contributes to the the rise of incels.
That’s human nature. Also I’m not sure even an incel would want a woman for whom wealth is so much more attractive than, ahem, the downsides of being close to someone insanely more powerful.
Record breaking number of school shootings that don’t even get corporate news air time outside of local markets
It makes sense though. School schootings are depressing and happen all the time. The CEO murder was a breath of fresh air.
I didn’t even see it. I was told by someone. That’s how “normal” it is. Apparently it was a girl too, that’s rare. Not news worthy? Ffs.
The only way I know about the shooting is this comment chain and one of the “only country where this happens regularly” memes on here.
I don’t really keep up anymore and I heard about this fwiw. Haven’t heard about Luigi nearly as much save for memes
Well, the judicial process is a lot slower than our desire for change. Events take weeks or months. Also, I’m sure the prosecution wants to give it time to die down. Hoping that the jury will soften up. If it were to be tried today, he has significantly more chance of winning.
In the nearly two weeks since Mr Thompson’s killing, we have seen a shocking and appalling celebration of cold-blooded murder," Tisch said. “We don’t celebrate murders and we don’t lionise the killing of anyone.”
Tisch is the NYPD commissioner, but more importantly here she is the daughter of a billion dollar “family” corporation CEO.

Eric Adams has been appointing her to the head of random city agencies for a couple years now, and I’m sure it’s a coincidence he’s under corruption charges and she is just that great
“In the nearly two weeks since Mr Thompson’s killing, we have seen a shocking and appalling celebration of cold-blooded murder”
I know, it’s disgusting how the media have been celebrating the CEO, who let thousands of people suffer and die for profit, as a sympathetic figure.
Also I’ve been watching a video on 2003 Iraq war today, so about not celebrating murders and not lionising killing of anyone - not true.
It’s all connected.
It’s true what they’ve been saying for decades: the american working class has sold itself out and the only people who were smart enough to realize it were vilified.
Kind of reminds me of how difficult it was to convince people that global warming is the result of humans burning fossil fuels.
It’s all connected.
Save us Dirk Gently, holistic investigation is the only thing that can help us.
Fuck the CEO. Free Luigi!
Game Idea: Mario & Friends work together to free Luigi from the evil empire!
Don’t fuck a corpse, that’s nasty. Throw it into a landfill, then free Luigi!
Wait what?!?? I thought he was arrested for eating at McDonald’s?!
For eating a succulent meal?
They knew their judo well.
Get your hand off my penis!
It wasn’t him.
Would love to be on that jury just so I can say this.
I’m reminded of “affluenza kid,” the rich boy who went drunk driving and killed four people, injured nine others, but only had to go to rehab because “his parents taught him that wealth buys privilege.”
Ughh I remember that case. What a joke our “justice” system is. All the way up to the supreme court.
I didn’t realize killing pond scum was a crime now. Home improvement stores are about to find themselves in deep shit.
I wasn’t even thinking of them playing the terrorism card but here we are.
various charges, including first-degree murder, and two counts of second-degree murder
How does that work?
It’s the new “3/5 Compromise”: normal people are worth 1 person each, but CEOs are worth 3.
I get a lot of courtroom videos on my feed, and it seems any time someone shouts something aggressive they tack on a “terroristic threat” charge.
could they be trying to scare him with the amount of charges into accepting a plea deal. I doubt they want this going to trial.

* I have no confirmation that this is legit not some sort of fraud nor, if it is kegit, what percentage will go towards his legal fees. But I choose to believe that it is what it claims to be and nothing more.
I donated a while back. It has a lot of eyes, so I doubt it can get shady without a ton of noise. At this point it’s pretty safe—in my opinion only.
Don’t lie to yourself.
Why are you being so poopy?
It’s better than listening to you.
I propose a friendly wager
Ok
Do you know how many “bricks for the wall” for Mexico or whatever were sold? A lot
Actually, they went to jail and had to forfeit the money.
Good to hear! I thought they verbally cheated their way through
It’s easy to get away with a few grand for some sick child, but when there are hundreds or thousands of donors in a national fundraiser, the people—and authorities—often ask questions. It would be considered fraud.
You’re not wrong, but they wouldn’t use bricks
Boo! 👎
