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?

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.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 39 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I was thinking they are playing it up in hopes of copycats. Basically malicious compliance

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.

I guess he's trying to learn more about prison life before he gets his own perp walk.

I never liked those shoes. They are like a bad knock off of toms. Somehow they even make shittier crocs for jails as well... I remember walking into a Walmart and a guy being like "yo when did you serve" as I was buying a pair of entnies (didn't know they sold them there, but they were like $25) to finish my 19 mile walk home. Wasn't sure how he knew at first, then realized he remembered those shitty shoes as well.

(Things not to do in life, get pulled out of bed in the middle of the night by police wearing no shoes and forced to walk across a stone driveway.)

Innocent until proven guilty time and time again proves to be not how our system works. Alleged charges were dismissed and expunged. The impact on my life, not able to be taken back.

Yeah, the criminal justice system in the U.S. causes immeasurable harm. From a probation system designed to keep you in the system, to kids-for-cash-like schemes that I'm convinced are more common than has been prosecuted, to coercive delay tactics. All of which I have personal experience with. I've currently been out on bail for 2 years, and someone else in my county has been in jail without trial for 5 years because he can't afford bail. Not to mention the horrible conditions in many jails and prisons, slave labor, nearly complete lack of rehabilitation, and the system milking the incarcerated's families for money. I can't think of any other word to describe it than evil.

I worked government contracts in IT for the last 10 years mostly. After the allegation I failed 3 background checks coming back saying conviction when the case was retired and moved to be dismissed. My entire career was shot save for a 9 month contract I got where they overroad the background check with a lawyers response showing it was a false response on the conviction and due to costs I have literally nothing left. After lawyers and shit... 0 savings, 0 401k, contract over now, took a job for a distributor for a well known brand to pay bills... No background check. Even Kroger's background check failed me when the case has already been dismissed. It destroyed my life, and I did nothing.

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.

[–] llamatron@lemmy.world 64 points 1 week ago

Every day Trump walks free has been sad proof of that

He was a lone wolf and they're acting like the Mafia might come to free him any moment

If they bring out a regiment to guard your show trial you're almost certainly on the right side of history.

Probably.

They're really telling on themselves. Scared shitless.

[–] Aeao@lemmy.world 40 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

That's what bothers me. The government is like 'the memes about him aren't true, he's nothing special. It's just murder'

Then they turn around and prosecute saying 'this isn't just murder! Look at all the memes! This needs to be enforced like the special event it is'

You can't have your cake and eat it too. The judicial branch has been downplaying it as a simple murder. One man mad at another man. Nothing more. Cool. Then prosecute it as such.

The inconsistent words jeopardize the faith in the system. Neo Nazi lynches a man to prove a point to an entire race that they are not safe... Murder, not terrorism.

Guy kills a CEO over his personal issues with treatment with no master plan or manifesto? That's a terrorist?

The public needs consistency or we lose trust in the system.

Can we stop having school shooters and make this a trend instead? 🙏🏾

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

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.

They needed that many guys because they were afraid of him

[–] kat_angstrom@lemmy.world 47 points 1 week ago (5 children)

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

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

I'm curious if they're actually doing this out of concern that people might try to break him free.

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 35 points 1 week ago

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.

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.
