Whenever he gets cheers and applause in a news comedy show, the host always looks uncomfortable. You can almost see the leash of their corporate overlords being tugged.
I mean, it’s not just that. it’s legal liability. part of the reason they charged him with terrorism is to tie any show of support to a crime as well. supporting him is like supporting al-qaeda now. so I ask you, DO YOU CONDEMN HUMMUS? DO YOU CONDOM MORDOR OF CEOS?
All it did was show a lot of people what bullshit a charge of “terrorism” is.
For the longest time, people thought “terrorism” meant “very evil,” so now that someone who isn’t evil is being labeled a terrorist, they are upset.
In reality, if you try to change politics with violence against a civilian, you are a terrorist.
“One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.”
Yeah, this country was founded by terrorists.
I think they’d technically be classified as insurgents/rebels because they mostly/exclusively fired upon the military as far as I know.
as far as I know.
Well, it’s time to brush up a bit before commenting, then, huh?
Francis Marion, aka The Swamp Fox, was pretty hard on loyalist civilians.
Hopefully it’s hard to prove that his intent was change and not revenge
You don’t engrave a message on casings unless you’re sending a message to the living.
The company’s other employees are, at time of writing, still living, so sending a message to the living doesn’t mean it’s not solely revenge.
I’m still like 100% sure that this isn’t the same guy in the pictures taken on the crime scene, given that literally ALL THEY HAVE TO GO BY is that his form of dress was the same.
That’s an incredibly flimsy argument. People have been writing messages on ammo since ammo existed. There’s not even an established pattern of terrorists writing on ammo - they’re more likely to claim credit for an attack after the fact and include their message there.
Those were words for him. Deny and defend this, mother fucker.
You assert my argument is flimsy, yet your argument is that someone is going to be able to read the casings popping out of a guy’s gun shooting at him from behind?
Lol. Lmao, even.
School shooters should be getting hit with terrorism charges
It certainly causes more terror, but mostly just with the rabble, not the ultra wealthy who actually matter.
It is perfectly legal to advocate for illegal activity. The first amendment has broad protections for this. SCOTUS has ruled on this even recently. You need to be able to advocate for illegal activity if you want people to have any chance to change the law.
It is perfectly legal to come right out on national television and say, “Luigi did nothing wrong. The president and governor should pardon him, and the mayor of NYC should throw him a parade.”
Well, they SHOULD!
They don’t see us as human and are just finding out the feeling is mutual.
Luigi Mangione is not a felon however.
Why would the 1% be nervous?
It’s not like the Americans will actually do anything. At most there will be some light trolling, some graffiti and maybe a twitter hashtag. Tjen everyone will pat themselves on the back and feel slightly superior before returning to their slave jobs, without healthcare
I remember posts like yours from a while back… and then one day a young man with a bright future and as lot of advantage chose to leave that behind to shoot a CEO in the back of the head on the open street in broad daylight.
“Why would the 1% be nervous”
Your post is a weak attempt to sow defeat in the hearts and minds of those who started to perk up and think a bit more after seeing what Luigi decided needed to be done. On balance, your post reads like you’re actually nervous.
I mean, the internet does nothing better than slacktivism.
He’s only 26, which means the 2036 election suddenly gets more interesting.
That’s assuming they don’t make the death-penalty terrorism charge stick… which they will in a heartbeat.
Have you heard of this one neat trick (jury nullification) that lawyers hate?
I’m sure defense lawyers love it. Cops and cop lawyers sure hate it though.
I haven’t heard about it at all. Not a once. I would never talk about it during a jury selection process either.
