Pretty sure it's the actions of parasitic CEOs in the pursuit of ever expanding profits with no concern for the wellbeing of the public that is inspiring people to violence.

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 27 points 4 days ago

My teacher said it was good to have aspirations and be inspiring.

If rich parasites have to fear for their lives then I don't see that as a bad thing. I see it as nature aspiring to correct itself in an inspiring way!

Even if true, how is that relevant to the case?

[–] misteloct@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It's relevant because it's proof the case was fucked with and we can throw out any evidence collected as tampered with and let this rando Luigi guy free. We know when we're being fucked with.

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 12 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Well, we already knew he was being fucked with, all the evidence has been thrown out already

This is relevant because they're taking off the mask, this is the actual reason for persecuting an innocent man who is a scapegoat for the adjuster

Basically all evil of the world is his fault. Nice, I hope next evidence would be antichrist bible verses.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 days ago

Even if it were true, that's not a crime. If we could prosecute people for inspiring evil Creamsicle McHairplugs would be in jail instead of the white house.

[–] Juice@midwest.social 2 points 2 days ago

How can someone completely innocent inspire violence?

Innocent until implied guilty I guess

[–] Ooops@feddit.org 23 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Sure... it's not CEOs' and companies' behavior that inspires violence but this single guy (who totally did not get inspired by one CEO's/company's behavior). 🤣

[–] sqgl@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 days ago

He isn't even guilty. The CCTV photo didn't look like him. Let's stop assuming.

[–] BaroqueInMind@piefed.social 42 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I literally do not see what the problem here is...

Free Luigi!

[–] bitwolf@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 days ago

Harmful words it's not his fault everyone is outraged.

[–] bigbabybilly@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Yeah, I don’t think his act is the inspiration here.

Always funny how the people in power want to preach that the war is over.

United Healthcare CEO is responsible for a system that made Luigi Mangione suffer an unbearable amount of pain.

When a school shooter shoots kids do you get inspired towards violence? No. So you are looking at the wrong direction for the inspiration source.

I'm pretty sure our capitalist lords are inspiring violence.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

It's hardly his fault that anarchists made him their poster boy, tbh. He was still in lockup when they were using him to promote violence.

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago

No that would be CEOs and other rich sociopathic fucks.

[–] Brutticus@midwest.social 6 points 3 days ago

please, I can only get so erect

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

based, can't wait

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 20 points 4 days ago

If his ideas are as widely supported as prosecutors claim, how do they have any chance of getting a unanimous conviction?

Aren’t they basically admitting there’s no fair way to convict the guy?

[–] treesquid@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Fuck I hope so. Oh, but you better kill him so other people don't kill the other CEOs who murder for profit, because murder is only okay for money, or when the state does it to protect killers that are also campaign donors.

[–] apftwb@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

Lmao. "Reasoned debate"

[–] whiwake@lemmy.cafe 18 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Are there examples of other violence?

i dont think that's true at all. I mean, considering all the evil these CEOs are responsible for, some might hope it is true. But I don't think anyone actually believes it is true.

Also, I'm pretty certain Luigi was framed.

I think most of us know it was those lookers on the grassy knoll.

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago

I allegedly wish the next Mario Bro the best of luck.
