Jesus what I wouldn’t give to see Trump in that orange suit flanked by all of those cops.
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.
Jesus on his way to be crucified because he spoke up for poor people
Brian Thompson pleaded guilty to drunk driving in 2017, the same month he became CEO.
Damnnn that is one interpretation of drunk driving. "officer, you don't understand, drunk driving putting everyones life and freedom at risk is what makes us human
Buying a second house for your estranged wife is very normal. I’ve got tons of very real, normal human friends that buy their wives second houses because divorce would cost more than a second house.
The person is very human, yes.
No wonder he thought he knew better than doctors - his penmanship was for shit.
There's 2 possible reasons to have "military" escort. either...
All they’re doing is making him look like a badass. They need enough cops to suppress Superman if he turned bad.
The managerial class really is terrified, huh?
If the cops arrested Superman it wouldn't be because he went bad.
Why is it terrorism when rich people are killed?
Cause they only care when rich scum are terrorized.
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.
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.
Every day Trump walks free has been sad proof of that
If they bring out a regiment to guard your show trial you're almost certainly on the right side of history.
Probably.

Pigs when other pigs choke people to death: I sleep
Pigs when someone touches a mass murdering elite: Real shit
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.
Lotta cops for a little kid with a busted back
He was a lone wolf and they're acting like the Mafia might come to free him any moment
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 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.
Put it on an album cover!
Is the fucking Mayor of New York in that picture? Wtf this just surreal. Our fucking hero being perp walked like this.
They're really telling on themselves. Scared shitless.
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.
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
