Jesus what I wouldn’t give to see Trump in that orange suit flanked by all of those cops.
Jesus on his way to be crucified because he spoke up for poor people
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.
Brian Thompson pleaded guilty to drunk driving in 2017, the same month he became CEO.
No wonder he thought he knew better than doctors - his penmanship was for shit.
I write in block letters and he is a shit writer.
I write in cursive enchanting table and I couldn’t decipher that.
Damnnn that is one interpretation of drunk driving. "officer, you don’t understand, drunk driving putting everyones life and freedom at risk is what makes us human
Buying a second house for your estranged wife is very normal. I’ve got tons of very real, normal human friends that buy their wives second houses because divorce would cost more than a second house.
The person is very human, yes.
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.
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.
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 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 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.
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.
They needed that many guys because they were afraid of him
That mix tape looks 🔥
There goes my hero …
watch him as he goes…
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.
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 don’t see how they don’t see it.
I have had a lot of opportunities to post this lately, so here we go again:
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.
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.
I was thinking they are playing it up in hopes of copycats. Basically malicious compliance
copycats
Don’t tease me bro!
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”
They rather kill defenseless children.
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
What a joke.
Missed opportunity to give him a muzzle.
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.
And wheel him around tied to a hand truck. Cops cant do much of anything right.
Oh Eric Adams can fuck all the way off. They all can, tbh, but especially him.
So when Netflix made a film adaptation of 13 Reasons Why they called in specialists to try and make it tasteful. What happened was they were faxed a list of shit NOT TO DO, only some dumbass in charge of production mistook it for a list of “THINGS YOU ABSOLUTELY SHOULD DO! DO IT! IT’LL BE FUNNY!”, leading to outrage from said professionals who then pondered why they were consulted at all if they were going to be so blatantly ignored and a spike of suicides that coincided with release of the thing. Ya know cause glorifying suicide to a bunch of suicidal people is probably not going to end will.
Anyway, when that guy got fired from Netflix, I’m sure he got hired for the Dark Cabal that writes the talking points for the mass media.
Because they definitely sent him a list of “Shit not to do, because if you did it it would just make Luigi into even more of a Modern Day Robin Hood” and he proceeded to mistake it for a “Definitely do this, because it’ll totally get people to mourn Brian Thomspon.” list
That seems too simplified. Could you point me to where i could read more about this story? Can’t seem to find anything about this advice from specialists
It was just a joke. The part about them hiring that guy for this spin I mean.
Netflix really did do the “13 Reasons Why” fuck up
That’s what i meant, i want to learn more about that fuck up
From the fact that the person repeats it in the same comment due to forgetting they already said that joke, we can safely assume it is made up
Put it on an album cover!
Slap a CEO ADVISORY WARNING on it
Is the fucking Mayor of New York in that picture? Wtf this just surreal. Our fucking hero being perp walked like this.
Fascinating that he’s right behind him. Perfect photo op. Isn’t he accused of crimes right now? Or just his close associates?
Him too why he started sucking up to Trump. He wants a pardon.
Oh duh. Luigi needs to run for office.
I’m asking Santa for jury nullification.
I assume the jury will be selected from Manhattan as that’s where the event occurred. Anybody know if they pull from all boroughs or not?
If I lived in New York I’d be printing stacks of paper to post everywhere. Something like… Luigi Fired in Self Defense and the Defense of Others. Put this photo on it. Below that a few simply worded facts about the insurance industry killing people for profit. Then a QR code link to something explaining jury nullification in simple terms and why you can’t speak about it during jury selection.
I think getting the definition out there is very important.
He’s accused of various crimes and no one really likes him on the Left or Right.
The Right hates him because he basically he helped forward a program meant to help Undocumented Immigrants, only it came at the expense of New Yorkers and to such an extent that when I looked into it I had to make sure I wasn’t reading Fox News because it was so insanely gratuitous that if I started describing it, it’d sound like Sean Hannity got into the meth again.
The Left hates him because in order to safe face for that PR Disaster, he immediately sucked up to Trump and announced that he was switching parties in a speech about how the Left is “So woke and useless” and he “Just wants to be on the winning team”, using various buzzwords in a context that kinda suggests he doesn’t know what they mean.
And because he’s the second worst mayor New York City has ever had (the first being Rudy Giulanni of course), no one is really buying his political shift. Don’t get me wrong, no one thinks he’s a Leftist or even a Neo Liberal at heart, it’s just kinda obvious that this man has no spine and will go hard on whatever he thinks will make him look good at the time.
Only he’s so bad at picking “What will make me look good right now?”, that I’m pretty sure his advisor is Michael Scott from The Office.
I can’t imagine having so few beliefs as to change sides between the two parties in a two party system in order to be on rhe winning team.
I mean, that’s a whole lot of words to say he’s a cop and all cops are bastards.
I laugh my ass off that during Black Lives Matter protests liberals voted for a fucking cop for vice president and a fucking cop for mayor of NYC. What the actual fuck you dumb fucking liberals. Learn something other than identity politics. I swear to god people just vote for people because they’re a minority, even if they’re absolutely fucking terrible.
I didn’t vote for Kamela to be Vice President, I voted for Trump to stop ignoring Covid.
But I get your point. I wasn’t exactly thrilled to learn she was the VP for Biden in 2020, I legitimately thought he was throwing the election when he did that…
Maybe he was, just not the 2020 election…
You’re acting like the only other option wasn’t Trump again. Most people didn’t vote for Biden/Harris because they actually wanted Biden or Harris, but because we’re trapped in a 2 party system in a country where half the population doesn’t even vote.
Yeah, no. Fuck the democrats and the dumbass liberals who support them. Y’all get what y’all deserve. A fascist government. Biden admin had four years to prosecute trump for J6 and they slow walked the case. Democrats have had numerous opportunities to show a backbone and get shit done and time and time again they refuse to do anything except blame republicans and play identity politics. That’s all they have to offer.
Oh, this is lemmy world, sorry for hurting libs feelings. Jk, not sorry. Y’all shat on the left for years now you’re getting what you deserve.
Democrats refuse to hold people accountable and then are shocked pikachu face that they lose elections when they don’t even bother creating a platform besides we’re not trump. cope and seethe libs!
When did I say I was a Democrat? Both parties are too far right for me personally. I’m saying you can’t blame the average voter for our 2 party system we’re stuck in. The majority of Americans aren’t happy but how exactly can it be fixed when more than half of them can’t even be bothered to even think of politics? Decades of indifference allowed this, not the people who actually regularly make it to the polls even while pissed with their options.
Anyone got the original high res photo?
This could totally be an album cover
Looks like a new ratm cover.
Damn. That’d be so rad. That would be a bold mf’n ratm album indeed.
Run the Jewels going to have to take it. Rage broke up again.
Speaking of, it’s about time for a new RTJ. I’ll bet anyone a million dollars they rap about Luigi.
Zac was a Silly-Billy and broke his leg (not the first time he’s tripped on stage) and so they cancel a world tour AND never tour again? Dayum.
Also, ain’t no-one gonna call that bet 😅
