"Demonization of corporate executives is not new."
Huh, maybe if they acted in accordance with the social contract instead of lining their pockets with the blood of others.
Nobody says fuck the fire department.
In other news, demonization of actual demons also not new. It’s been showing signs of decline though, as much more effective evils steal the attention.
This is awesome, a whole new grift. I'm surprised that this isn't a Trump initative.
If only they’d be proactive about the root cause rather than “proactive with law enforcement intelligence “
I don't want a solution. I want to be mad.
¿Por qué no los dos? If we stay mad long enough, maybe we’ll get an actual change in health insurance coverage. Or even single payer
Then again, we may need to be mad for 4+ years
So they'll all be in one room at the same time?
It's virtual.
That doesn't sound very productive, a return to office would increase engagement.
How the turn tables
How about asking them not to be useless parasites who make things worse for the rest of us? That might help ensure their safety.
we protect everybody in the streets of New York
If they're not even currently protecting like a hundred CEOs .... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
One guy dies. Suddenly the fuckin governor is holding an all hands meeting to discuss using state funds to protect wealthy elite.
Poor New Yorkers die every day…crickets.
“We care about everyone equally.”
"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."
"We protect everybody on the streets of New York, not just CEOs."
Everybody gets equal protection, but some get more equal protection than others
Just send the CEOs some (cheap) pizza, single topping. They seem to think that fixes everything.
Only Little Caesars.
The other chains occasionally deliver something minimally edible by mistake.
Using our taxes to provide free private security to the wealthiest people in the state?
Up yours, Hochul.
Will someone think of billionaire pocketbooks in this trying time?
They are all gathering in one place
They are all gathering in one place
They are all gathering in one place
"We protect everybody on the streets of New York, not just CEOs," Hochul said. "Everybody deserves the protection of our law enforcement."
New York City averages over 1 murder per day. Weird how the CEO seems to be the only one getting any attention whatsoever, since everyone is getting equal protection.
Besides that, law enforcement doesn't protect anyone. Didn't protect Brian Thompson, did it?
Law enforcement is reactive. They show up after the crime has been committed to take notes (incorrectly) and maybe arrest the wrong person. Oh, except when patrol officers are running speed traps so they can intimidate the undesirables and shake them down for fines (which are regressive), maybe abuse some authority (or just make shit up) in order to provoke an unnecessary arrest.
So can we drop gun control now?

Imagine doing group therapy with 175 people
the amount of cope in that post.
Hey gun people.
For decades I've been arguing you, and you always seem to think the 2A is very important for freedom in case you ever need to have a revolution.
I want to point out that here's an excellent chance to convince me I've been wrong about 2A being archaic.
Huh. ~200 people who've screwed over a lot of people are going to be in the same place at the same time, and that fact has been advertised?
Wow. That takes some serious balls. I wish them luck.
It's going to be a zoom call. Though it would be hilarious if the governor actually hated CEOs, got them all in one place, and tried to consistently leak the info ahead of time.
The Red ~~Wedding~~ Board Meeting
"We protect everyone on the streets of New York, not just CEOs". While they might do that, this one murder has shown that for some people, the police really does the job they should be doing for everyone.
Class solidarity for the elites; rugged individualism for the little people.
I think about them all the time actually...
Anyone considering running for high office, and looking for a hook to run on? Run for the governor of NY on a platform of giving Luigi Mangione a full and unconditional pardon.
You would win in a landslide.
Funny how it's all about protecting people when a rich guy gets shot but not when any of us gets shot.
One murder has put it all in to stark relief for many where the loyalties of law enforcement lie; and yet i cant help but think no one will remember who was on the side of the working class come election season
Which party represents workers again?
None
Corporate executives convince themselves they only do their job. Their action are evil but they are rewarded for it, so much so that "evil has become banal".
Recently reminded of the truth, they consider that "demonization". Why should people leave you alone if you're killing us & the planet?
Even if "you're just doing your job", it still affect us personally and the law will either not be upholded or defend the right of the people. The only way then is steel.
I'm dumb: I don't see the complexity in Luigi's action. I only see the truth: the only action that changed something after decades of non-violent political activism was bullets in a CEO.
Everybody deserves protection, says the governor only protecting the elites.
Everybody deserves the protection of our law enforcement, unless you aren't wealthy or powerful. And if you're black, we'll be sure to harass and/or assault you.
