For a second I was going to say it's like they're trying to make us hate them more somehow. Then I realized, yeah, that's probably exactly what they're trying to do. Antagonizing people into violence is the goal.

I'm not sure if it's to use it as an excuse to declare martial law, or kick off a civil war, or both? Idk I guess I've just been around enough passive aggressive pieces of shit in the past to recognize it when I see it.

Kill 24 normal citizens in a mass shooting in a Walmart, plea deal. Allegedly Kill 1 billionaire, death penalty

In Texas, you can shoot a guy in a wheelchair in between child molestations and the Governor while shake your hand while he pardons you.

I don't think he was a billionaire. But his job was a nasty one that did please billionaires.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 35 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Indications seem to be high 8 to low 9 figs. There is a fucking ocean between "not billionaire" and "average guy". Also, obligatory fuck Brian Thompson.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 19 points 1 day ago

Fuck him indeed. He got what was coming to him. I had no idea who he was until he was shot and I instantly hated him.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago

He was nasty. No one who isn't could have done that job.

Can't say it on Reddit, but I hope that they can't find a jury who would convict him.

He’s never getting out, and I’m sure he knows it. He carried his manifesto for days. He wants to make a statement.

Kill him and see what that gets the government. Middle aged white women are paying attention.

They are so fucking scarred, they want to give a message.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

100% this. We have actual murderers in prison for life who have killed several people. They’re still here and will be until they die.

This is 100% a message that rich people’s lives are more important than any of our lives. And they’re willing to kill to prove it.

[–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's not sending the message they hope it is.

Scarred or scared?

I think it's both.

If you could make God bleed, people would cease to believe in Him. There will be blood in the water, the sharks will come.

hmm so death is an appropriate consequence for killing people, huh. so she's admitting that Luigi allegedly delivered justice, actually.

I think it's inappropriate for a lawyer to use stage names though. I mean, Pam Bondi? come on.

A man killed a man that was killing thousands of men.

So, we should kill him!

Are they not vindicating Luigi by wanting this?

This has a potentially significant chance of backfiring, as it is more difficult to get a jury to convict when the death penalty is at stake.

Mangione’s murder of Brian Thompson -- an innocent man and father of two young children

Innocent man my ass

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 367 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (7 children)

19 and 16 are "young" children? Not to mention the fact that he was separated from his wife and his contact with them was limited. Unlike with hundreds, if not thousands, of parents he killed with his policy of denying coverage.

The obvious fellating of the ruling class by the mainstream media is annoying as fuck.

So they basically admit it is about revenge, not justice? How dare someone of the working class attack someone clearly superior! We must punish this worthless creature to put them into their rightful place at the bottom of the taxpaying pyramid!

If we live in a country where a child can get ran over or shot every day and nobody gets prison time for it, we can set a man free who kills a serial killer that preys on the poor and injured for profit.

How to make a martyr in 180 days?

It's really crazy we are literally living in a new type of world.

The wealthy ARE the powerful, but the rest of us out number them to such grand extent that the only way they can remain wealthy is through fear and murder.

There is no war but class war.
