Performative Perp Walk
(sh.itjust.works)
Why is it terrorism when rich people are killed?
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.
They sure do love taking and posting pictures of him and then yelling at people to not give him any press. How many pics have we seen of him in custody? They dont want coverage of him silenced, they want to control that narrative. US justice system is a sad broken dishonest state of affairs.
Every day Trump walks free has been sad proof of that
If they bring out a regiment to guard your show trial you're almost certainly on the right side of history.
Probably.

There's 2 possible reasons to have "military" escort. either...
- They must protect the perp from assassination.
- They must prevent mob from liberating him.

Brian Thompson pleaded guilty to drunk driving in 2017, the same month he became CEO.
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.
No wonder he thought he knew better than doctors - his penmanship was for shit.

Can we stop having school shooters and make this a trend instead? 🙏🏾
Put it on an album cover!
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?
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.

This just make him look more like a hero that's oppressed by the government.
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?

I saw this on the news and honestly wondered how many cops are required for this prisoner transfer? Because all those people are getting paid to walk a guy past cameras, and they're probably all getting paid more than me, and there's SO many of them
"Ah, yep, absolutely doing work here. Work, work, work. Dangerous work. Don't defund us and here's the evidence to support why."

Jesus on his way to be crucified because he spoke up for poor people
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 well.
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

Now we know what terrorizes those weaklings.
You know what? If they want to turn him into a martyr, I want to turn him into a saint. St. Luigi of Baltimore. In fact, I want to erect a big statue of him, something deliberately over the top and in bad taste. Like how Dante wrote his political enemies into Hell.
Think of the classical paintings and statues of St. Michael casting Satan into Hell.
I want to crowd fund a big bronze statue like this. Except Luigi is St. Michael and Thompson is Satan. Thompson can be holding a scroll that reads "delay deny depose."
I say we put a gaudy statue like this somewhere near United Healthcare's headquarters in Minnesota. Just this classical bronze of their former CEO as the Devil himself, being thrown into literal Hell by St. Luigi of Baltimore. Make them drive past the damn thing every day on the way to the office.
The dedication on the plinth can read "In Memory of St. Luigi of Baltimore. Tear down this monument when Americans no longer die from lack of healthcare."
The bastards want to make him a martyr? I say we make him a SAINT.

The better one's life is, the more scared they are to lose it.
Enough of the general public is finally crossing the line we've been pushed towards for decades.
France around and find out.

I’m gonna steel man this one and state that those officers are there to protect him more than protect others from him. That’s why school shooters have fewer officers escorting them, because who the fuck cares if somebody murders those monsters.
…they’re upset everyone is cheering for this guy. Are they worried a CEO or 1% is going to shoot him? lol everyone else loves him.
