The only thing keeping Madison’s shooting relevant is this time the shooter’s not a man so people are doing a victory lap in agendaposting.

C-class is a protected suit now? Because I only feel financially terrorized by the healthcare industry. It is so systemic and prevalant people are afraid to go see a doctor over anything until it becomes catastrophic, and even then it's "please for the love of all do not involve and ambulance".

Americans are terrorized by the thought of the massive debt for just the ride to the hospitals and basic stabilization - more so than their disloged limbs and bleeding out from a car crash.

Personal medical piss off this last week -

Husband burnt himself on hot coffee at work going to his car to take his break. 2 2nd degree blisters. One about 4 inches. I pleaded with him to 1- tell his job for workmans comp or at least 2 - we have insurance go see urgent care and have a doctor look at it and get an opinions. He was afraid of the costs.

Then he was denied the HPV vaccine coverage while I'm on my 2nd of 3 doses and it's fully covered and it's a ridiculous $500 a dose that probably costs less than $10 to make. It's basically a cancer vaccine. You'd think it's cheaper than cancer treatment reguardless. Don't know if it's because he's over the 'recommended age' by a couple years (like the vax magically stops working then) or if because us-foreign-policy. I'm going to have to call and find out WTF the deny-defend-depose was for.

Because I only feel financially terrorized by the healthcare industry.

This reminds me of how when Cuba nationalized the fruit companies land, they paid them back what the fruit companies had had the land valued at. That value was much lower than a fair valuation, because it meant the companies would have to pay lower taxes on the land.
Maybe someday in a better world, this case will be used as precedent to persecute capitalists. Could be fun.

[-] lambalicious@lemmy.sdf.org 109 points 1 day ago

Okay lemme understand it.

"Terrorism" is defined as using violent means to scare or suppress the population.

But what he did made the population happy.

So... shouldn't it be considered that he provided a public service?

That is not the definition of terrorism.

Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature

Yeah to be accurate the definition should probably spell out that this violent action comes from agents operating outside of a majority-backed monopoly on violence. Terrorist vs freedom fighter n all that.

A very wide, very vague, very useful definition for a prosecutor.

[-] polpotkin@hexbear.net 38 points 1 day ago

I am a jaywalker, and this is my manifesto. We will not obey the little green man. The red hand will not contain us.

Every step we take is a middle finger to your order, a crack in your illusion of control. We disrupt your flow, we shatter your calm, and we dare your machines to stop us. Your brakes screech, your tempers flare, and your systems falter—all because we walked.

You call it unsafe. We call it liberation. You call it reckless. We call it revolution.

We are the chaos in your commute, the stress in your steering wheel, and the violence in your precious order.

We are jaywalkers. Your streets will never be safe again.

that would suggest the rich people are feeling terrorised rn

silver linings i guess

well i hope the jury have been fucked over by health insurance

[-] darkcalling@hexbear.net 25 points 1 day ago

They will almost certainly ask them questions about biases regarding health insurance during jury selection and somehow manage to find 12 law-loving, boot-licking people who've never been screwed over by insurance, don't have any negative feelings towards insurance companies because of someone they know being screwed over. I mean it would really be as simple as finding a dozen retired boomers who held union jobs with good benefits all their lives, are retired on cushy amounts of retirement funds, and are absolutely law and order freaks.

[-] regul@hexbear.net 18 points 1 day ago

Defense attorney would have to be the worst of all time to somehow not be able to get one person fucked over by health insurance on a full panel.

[-] darkcalling@hexbear.net 1 points 10 hours ago

So much cope. He's going down. He's going to be convicted. The American legal system serves the bourgeoisie. Impartiality of a jury means not prejudiced against or FOR the perpetrator so they can absolutely get people struck for holding unorthodox opinions and not being totally certain of being able to rule on the facts of the charges without prejudice to any feelings they may have for the victim or defendant and their motives.

At the end you'll probably have some juror anonymously speak to the papers, say they sympathized because they know someone who was fucked over by insurance BUUUT they can't justify murder and they weren't asked to rule on whether the defendant's actions were morally right or wrong but whether they amounted to murder and that they had to find them guilty as a result of the evidence. No one is going to do jury nullification on this, no one but extremely online leftists, judges, and prosecutors know what that even is and most Americans are the most obedient little piggies who will believe the judge when they instruct them they have to rule on the facts of the charges not their opinions. You can bet if someone tries to do jury nullification the judge will grill the fuck out of them, really, really pressure them in a case like this and most people who got that far would crumble and with some grumbling go along with voting guilty at last.

Terrorism charge is just kind of make an example out of him type of thing, good chance they can't make that stick if he has a good legal team but they want to send a message that the state will hit anyone with the full book who dares to do something like this and not everyone will have the types of lawyers to beat such charges.
