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.
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
Hahahaha lmao
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.
Holy shit now that you mention it, homeboy is massive.
Pretty sure all those dudes are on the far right.
Ayyyyyyyy
There goes my hero …
watch him as he goes…
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.
They needed that many guys because they were afraid of him
That mix tape looks 🔥
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.
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 rather kill defenseless children.
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.
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 was thinking they are playing it up in hopes of copycats. Basically malicious compliance
copycats
Don’t tease me bro!
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.
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?!
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 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.
Oh Eric Adams can fuck all the way off. They all can, tbh, but especially him.
Waiting for someone to do a slow mo version of the vid with a soundtrack. Alas, I suck at such things.
Waiting for W I D E Luigi walking
AI got your back
Now we know what terrorizes those weaklings.
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.
The problem with constantly robbing the poor is that the poor eventually run out of things to lose.
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 Boston. 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 Boston. 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.
Oh I like this idea.
Start a gofundme, do it
I want to crowd fund a big bronze statue like this. Except Luigi is St. Michael and Thompson is Satan.
I’d pitch in for it.
Dope illustration. Change the faces. Change the sword to a homemade silenced ghost gun and change whatever’s being scattered by Michael into pills.
Edit- looked closer- change the chains held by Michael into him scattering pills and money.
It’s the start of an idea. I’m no artist somebody run and do it!
Yeah there would be a lot of opportunity for interpretation. Realistically you would raise funds and accept proposals from artists. But I do love the over the top classical imagery.
We’re the people and I was hoping to inspire someone to make art for the people instead of for money. I wasn’t suggesting someone go get on making a statue!
But I get it, being an artist is hard as fuck for many reasons, one of which is everyone wants you to work for free.
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.
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.
That’s some insane bullshit.
