If they bring out a regiment to guard your show trial you’re almost certainly on the right side of history.
Probably.
90%
Right side of History, sure, but,
For it’s the end of history
It’s caged and frozen still
There is no other pill to take
So swallow the one
That made you ill
you know, that the end of history crap is what that song criticizes, making it a really strange way to reply to someone saying something is on the right side of history.
They needed that many guys because they were afraid of him
There’s 2 possible reasons to have “military” escort. either…
- They must protect the perp from assassination.
- They must prevent mob from liberating him.
That’s why they all had armor and he didn’t. It is number 2.
There is a vibe for caption of “are we the baddies?” to this.
I mean both really
Ain’t no one assassinating him.
United health probably wants to.
But legally.
Reminds me of that saying “don’t kill the messenger”. Maybe the guy was under the influence of drugs. Maybe the guy was not under the influence of some drugs. We can’t just allow him to be tossed into death row. I assume?
I mean his fellow prisoners were calling out free Luigi. Some Fox news idiots thought that being a CEO killer was akin to being a child molester who kills kids when he’s done raping them.
They didn’t realize that being wealthy and ruthless in that pursuit wasn’t something they idolized.
There’s like four or five dudes pushing 7ft in this pic
Dude on the far right is up on the curb. But the big fella in the middle is indeed a big fella.
Pretty sure all those dudes are on the far right.
Ayyyyyyyy
Holy shit now that you mention it, homeboy is massive.
I love this place. Post anything about this on reddit and it’s likely to be removed if it gets too positive or the bots downvote it.
Reddit is a place to promote product. This isn’t product. Give it time and big lemmy servers will turn into reddit, but for now we get to enjoy a safe space.
Thankfully, because of the way Lemmy is built, we will forever have smaller communities that don’t turn into garbage like that.
Reddit let this thing run first week as they couldn’t moderate the sentiment this strong but looks like after that they cracked down.
Lemmy world news sub was suppressing this very aggressively during that time.
Mods dropped in in unrelated sub threatening to remove the discussion if we didn’t keep it “civil”
Some clown ass behavior.
Jesus what I wouldn’t give to see Trump in that orange suit flanked by all of those cops.
All they’re doing is making him look like a badass. They need enough cops to suppress Superman if he turned bad.
The managerial class really is terrified, huh?
If the cops arrested Superman it wouldn’t be because he went bad.
I mean, Jaquim Phoenix’s Joker did… what? Kill Jay Leno on air? Luigi is definitely in the top 3 Jokers, way above Leto and Phoenix.
He also was the center of the riot at the end of the movie that led to Martha and Thomas Waynes dying.
Ledger’s Joker literally destroyed mafia from inside while Batman was crying the whole time.
I think they want to intimidate others, but honestly giving him this much of a spotlight should be the dream of anyone thinking about attacking another CEO for attention.
I don’t see how they don’t see it.
Maybe the cops are playing both sides? I’m definitely giving them too much credit there, but maybe?
That’s definitely giving them too much credit.
They are probably trying to reduce the number of eligible jurors who would acquit him.
Insurers fuck cops over too. While I doubt it’s an act of solidarity with the rest of us peasants, it could actually be an enemy-of-my-enemy situation where cops find themselves hating UHC as much as the rest of us.
How crazy would it be if the next Luigi is a cop?!
While I’m sure there is no love lost towards healthcare execs from even the police, an uptick of “terrorism” could also be used as an excuse to give even more power to the police as well.
I was thinking they are playing it up in hopes of copycats. Basically malicious compliance
copycats
Don’t tease me bro!
Our systems and hierarchies do often support the oligarchy, but that does not mean every single individual supports the oligarchy, or that every single thing our systems do are meant to advance the goals of the ultra rich. Sometimes individuals who participate in these systems do malicious compliance, sometimes they don’t comply at all.
In this case there could be someone high-up who is empathetic(or a group of empathetic people unaware of each other) whose decisions led to this happening, or this could have just been a dumb decision, who knows.
I dont think they need an excuse, they just do whatever they want now. Thats what electing trump is all about, letting them run amuck unrestrained.
They rather kill defenseless children.
I have had a lot of opportunities to post this lately, so here we go again:
Because their jobs financing is mostly perception based.
Crime can be at an all time low, but all it takes is a politician to rile up the population about murderers and law enforcement and incarceration will end up getting more money.
Be seen as being ineffective, soft or incompetent, especially by those holding the purse strings, and people lose jobs to those who will toe the line.
This is a message to the wealthy “look how seriously we take serving you”
This is the same country that tries to fight radicals in other countries by invading, oppressing, and ultimately creating more radicals. Our elite have little understanding of the socially deviant
They are probably also scared of people trying to free him since he is quite popular. This isn’t generally the case for other suspects.
I’m curious if they’re actually doing this out of concern that people might try to break him free.
When asked, that’s probably what the police would say as justification. And it sounds almost plausible, until you realize that’s the mayor behind him.
The state trial against Mangione will come before his federal trial, prosecutors said.
WTF? I never heard about federal charges-- isn’t that double jeopardy?
Like the reporter said, they might be trying to make it so there are no copycats, but they clearly don’t understand the number of people that wouldn’t want to be making it out alive. Their trumped up charges aren’t a deterrent.
If I were USian, I’d be mega-pissed that they are making the CEO’s death out like Luigi killed the king.
WTF? I never heard about federal charges-- isn’t that double jeopardy?
The federal charges might be the bullshit terrorism ones. Not double jeopardy because it’s a separate charge.
If I were USian, I’d be mega-pissed that they are making the CEO’s death out like Luigi killed the king.
Oh, I am. We’re teetering on the edge as it is and are scheduled to go straight off the cliff on Jan. 20th. Whatever next year brings, it’s going to be horrific.
See, it’s not for publicity! Eric Adams is there to stop the public from freeing Luigi from law enforcement!
That mix tape looks 🔥
Pigs when other pigs choke people to death: I sleep
Pigs when someone touches a mass murdering elite: Real shit
Pigs when someone touches the guy who pays their off-the-books salary: Real shit
Ftfy
I love that Adams is there. He literally has no reason to be there other than self promotion. Do you think they discussed the finer points of being indicted federally? Maybe he is trying to get him to ask for a Trump pardon.
“look at what this man did, not what i’ve done!”
-adams, prob
I guess he’s trying to learn more about prison life before he gets his own perp walk.
He is absolutely doing this to appease trump. Dude is getting hit with terrorism charges here to set up precedent for trump to do whatever the fuck he wants.
Lotta cops for a little kid with a busted back
He was a lone wolf and they’re acting like the Mafia might come to free him any moment
Honestly the mafia should free him. Why not? Insurance companies are impeding on the mafias protection racket lol.
Mafia should do something useful for once
They acting like the whole country wants to kill him when it’s the complete opposite.
Yeah, the thing that’s shocked me is how my most capitalist liberal friends are in agreement he did nothing wrong. Like some of them are even agreeing when I use the phrase “class warfare”
What a joke.
Missed opportunity to give him a muzzle.
And wheel him around tied to a hand truck. Cops cant do much of anything right.
Oh fuck, I think that would have caused Trump to want to pardon him since he’s obsessed with Hannibal
Trump’s obsession with Hannibal is a thousand times funnier when you realize it’s because he doesn’t know the difference being political asylum and a mental asylum.
