    I would love to see a massive boycott of MacDonald everywhere (at least in the US), I am surprised that this hasn’t come up somewhere online yet. That would be powerful signal IMO

    In the first photos released of the shooter (where he was wearing the same white backpack) they look different. I don’t buy this is the same guy

    To all the people who say he’s just a suspect, unfortunately they have good evidence against him, our only hope now is a jury of our peers.

    These companies don’t care about you, or your kids, or your grandkids. They have zero qualms about burning down the planet for a buck, so why should we have any qualms about burning them down to survive?

    I wonder if some hotshot lawyer might want to take his case as a challenge and help acquit him. Depending on the circumstances, he could have a chance. Might make for an interesting legal case study, at least.

    Tbh, I hate that this poor kids life took this turn, and he felt the need to do this. I guarantee you that more than half the people he stood up for, won’t be standing up for him.

        Maybe not in the technical sense, but if the jury is on board they could absolutely use that as justification to implement jury nullification of a guilty verdict.

        You know, I think he would have been more rad if he had amassed enough wealth or resources to make a difference for things he cares about. Musk basically showed us that you can buy American democracy for $250M.

    Honestly he was so smart to be able to get away basically undetected. After I reflected on it for a bit, there’s no way he would unintentionally be presenting the same fake ID, manifesto and carrying all the stuff he had. It seems deliberate.

    Luigi will be remembered as the one who took on American Healthcare and actually did something about it, even if the full weight of billionaire-owned media and the full force of the law is going to be dumped on him.

        I can’t say for sure whether it is the right decision.

        Martin Luther King Jr. advocated for obeying just laws and disobeying unjust laws openly. This could be in the same vein.

        https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/mlk-disobeyed-unjust-laws-state-america-today-requires-we-not-ncna1287569

        Of course it could be in vain but I don’t know. For sure I would have liked him to get away undetected. But probably knowing that he would eventually be caught regardless, to do it on his terms while he has a broad swath of support might have been his decision. He already humiliated the police from being able to catch him long enough.

          Martin only won because the alternative to his vision wasn’t the status quo, it was Malcolm…

          And they still both got killed for it.

          But mercing a CEO in broad daylight ain’t a MLK move, that’s 100% a Malcolm maneuver.

            And looks like Malcolm might be proven right in the end.

            After middle class sided with the blacks, the owner class turned all working Americans into field ******

              There’s better ways to say what you said, but there’s still some stuff wrong with it

              After middle class sided with the blacks,

              They really didn’t…

              the owner class turned all working Americans into

              They already had…

              “If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”

              LBJ said that during the civil rights movement. He wasn’t saying we should do that, but what the republicans were already doing.

                1. How did civil rights get pushed?

            Absolutely, I’m not saying Luigi is MLK Jr. even remotely, I’m just saying that what he thinks is the right thing to do at the moment could be in line with some thinking like that, even if the original action is motivated by something else.

              Actually, it seems like he views himself as a MLK…

              From Mangione’s review of Ted Kaczinski’s book:

              Clearly written by a mathematics prodigy. Reads like a series of lemmas on the question of 21st century quality of life.

              It’s easy to quickly and thoughtless write this off as the manifesto of a lunatic, in order to avoid facing some of the uncomfortable problems it identifies. But it’s simply impossible to ignore how prescient many of his predictions about modern society turned out.

              He was a violent individual – rightfully imprisoned – who maimed innocent people. While these actions tend to be characterized as those of a crazy luddite, however, they are more accurately seen as those of an extreme political revolutionary.

              It’s just his standard for Malcolm was Kaczinski…

    I am normally the first to decry dipshit conspiracy theories. However does anyone else find it interesting that they quickly arrested someone who looks not the same but similar to the released photos, with an untraceable 3d printed gun? That gun gives them the lack of need to prove where it came from and a vague air of suspiciousness. Oooh he wrote a suggestive book review. Case close boys?
