I just saw the news that they’ve charged him with terrorism. It’s like they want to keep the outrage going, and give the jury a reason to acquit.
Not guilty. You can only murder human beings. Brian Robert Thompson willingly relinquished his humanity a long time ago. What Luigi did was more akin to using bleach to treat mold in the bathroom. Killing a living thing? Yes. Murder? Certainly not.
Daniel Jackson: It’s obviously fighting to survive.
O’Neill: So do bacteria!
Oh, one Luigi damaged your world? Institute health care reform, or we’ll send dozens of them, one after the other!
God. How was SG1 so damn good? Every few years I do a rewatch of the whole franchise. It’s a masterpiece.
Trek is my usual background show but I’m currently on a SG1 rewatch. It’s funny to see so many people from Trek show up in various roles, I think Hammond of Texas would fit perfectly as a statue in front of Starfleet Academy as a model of humanity’s ideals regarding exploration of the stars. Given access to advanced healing technology, both O’Neill and O’Brien would be busting heads to ensure everyone got a fair shake, they’d both despise a CEO like this one
My theory is that once you have a role as a main character in Star Trek, you’re pretty much stuck in sci fi. The exception to this is if you were already a well established actor prior to Trek. So Patrick Stewart could go back to high theatre, but Colm Meaney ended up mugging Atlantis for a little C4.
Ha! I’d forgot about that one, my favorite role of his outside engineering was the DEA asshole in Con Air who gets his sweet Corvette stolen in epic fashion
I think the Venn of actors doing sci fi shows and actors in the Vancouver area is pretty close, same with how every British show has at least one person from another. Some obviously like the genre, and who wouldn’t?
They’ve charged Brian Thompson with terrorism for what he did - or at least caused - to tens of thousands of people each year?
Finally they start to make sense!18 people died since you made this comment due to UHC greed.
They can charge him with whatever they want. Proving it to a jury is a whole other thing.
Most life insurance policies don’t cover acts of terrorism.
I’m just saying…
Mangione has tapped into something most Americans share: a deep hatred of our health insurance system and of the profiteers who seem so indifferent to our suffering and death. He has still not been mentioned by Donald Trump, who must realize that Mangione’s fandom has no political boundaries.
Wow even DT can’t touch this
Be careful not to say anything positive about luigi because you’re certainly going to end up on a priority list of people they are going to keep a lot of surveillance on. It’s true, feds are terrified of people who seem inspired by things like this. If you say something really really nice about Luigi, the feds might even send you one of their female undercover agents to be your girlfriend for a while and spy on you.
I’m gay. She’ll have no power. They better send a muscle zaddy instead.
Where do I sign up for this?
Some dingdong on Lemmy messaged me to tell me that he had notified the FBI about a Luigi post I made. LOL sure bud.
I can fix her~~
The only thing left is for some bootlicker to wack him in jail and claim it’s suicide, and Luigi will be more famous than Harambe.
I’d argue that he already is. It would just elevate him from legend to marter.
Is this how the bell riots start? I hope so, I’m tired of waiting.
Hopefully inspired by.
marketing hirelings will sabotage the narrative with BS to make it go away.
They’re gonna attempt to do so. There’s no guarantee it will work.
Over advertising has inured most consumers to these practices. Especially younger ones.
id rather people focus on the lessons learned.
as long as this puts fear back into the burgeoise i aint complaining too much though.
Obsess away as long as it leads to more billionaires in the guillotine.
I mean could also go out like the guy who everyone would remember, who burned himself for some cause and everyone just forgot about him. Man, what a thing
I know I certainly will be! 😊
What do you mean trump is a CEO?
No it won’t
This whole story is ripe for conspiracy theory. Comparable to Epstein’s arrest and suicide from back in 2020.
Even if the national media wants the story to go away, you’re going to have Luigi enthusiasts popping up on the social fringe for years, if not decades.
Exactly. We are a society where innocent children are gunned down in their classrooms every other day. And for once, finally, one of the gunman actually decided to smite someone who deserved it. If you’re at the point of being willing to throw your life away in an act of murderous violence, why die a villain, when you can die a hero?
We should be building statues of Luigi.
I can’t wait to see the NPR article titled “Luigi Mangione was [aquitted/convicted/excuted] years ago. Why do week keep hearing his name in comment sections?”, and I’ll see this NPR article like 5-6 years from now.
Epstien died ~5 years ago, yet I still keep seeing people talking about him.
hopefully not
can you explain your thought process behind this comment?
I have zero interest in people who commit murder. I get tired of seeing this at the top of every site as well.
what are your thoughts on self defence and the limits of similar terms?
Murder bad
Wonder how ol Chuck is handling it
Chuck “Chicanery” McGill?
Chuck Mangione. Jazz musician
Yeah, America, meaning USA. The rest of the world is tired of hearing it.
The whole world is in love with Luigi from what I’ve seen with my international friends.
mabye in your circles but no one here gives a shit other than the drunks on the street.
no one here gives a shit
I would recommend you and your friend touch grass.
Thanks, i touch grass every day.
