They want to make Luigi an example. “Don’t do what he did, he’s being quickly processed with terrorism added to the charges. You don’t wanna be a terrorist do you?”
They are terrified. He did terrorize their class. So maybe just maybe being a terrorist isn’t bad, it depends on who you terrorize?
The only difference between a terrorist and a freedom fighter is your point of view.
funny how murikans are Super against gun violence all of a sudden when it happened to a rich white male… but not so much when its a class full of poor kids
Seems like most Americans are pro Luigi, but the government isn’t
The kids were already born, they don’t give a shit about them after that
It pretty neatly fits the definition of (individual) terrorism (which doesn’t really exist). It was an act of violence, not based on personal grievance with the direct victim, but based on grievance with the system he represented. But, yeah, they probably wouldn’t ever pull that when someone gets murdered for racist reasons, which you could also classify as terrorism.
🎶 Because it’s about class and not about justice. 🎶
This is kinda the OG definition of terrorism actually. Back when 19th century anarchists invented this hot new direct action political tactic called terrorism. It was all the rage, for a while, but it backfired and increased public sympathy towards the bourgeoisie and the nobility.
For what it’s worth, we do have hate crime laws that are supposed to be used in cases where racism is at play. I’m not saying it’s always used, but we do have additional penalties for it.
Yeah, trying to upcharge this from murder to “terrorism” is going to backfire spectacularly in the prosecutor’s face.
Let’s hope. But as we all know truth is financially dictated in our “justice” system, so it is a gamble.
I love how they media seems shocked whenever they find Americans who have been radicalized, when one of their counterparts have been radicalized Americans for the last handful of decades.
That’s on purpose - by acting shocked they expect viewers to react the same way. It’s essentially telling their audience how to feel about the story without outright saying “you should feel like this”.
US voters
I voted for Jill Stein, don’t blame me
Please tell me this is a joke.
Has to be.
…
Right?
I voted for Jill Stein, don’t blame me
how did you not hand the US to amerikkkan oligarchy?
How to trigger an american?
Tell them you voted third party. Yes, the two party system is perfectly ok.
If only Kamala had won, then the Biden administration wouldn’t be doing this
For the ones in the back: the presidential elections aren’t the only elections.
Rumor has it, if you say, “deny, defend, depose” in your phone 3 times, you’ll get charged with terrorism too. Hopefully you’re an American citizen or else it’s off to Guantanamo bay for you.
If you say “Gitmo Bay” three times in the mirror, a dark universe Obama appears and snatches you.
As a person who grew up in American schools post-Columbine, with kids in schools now, and none of us are CEOs, this is probably the take that saddens me most about this whole event. It’s our kids, and the argument used to be about freedom. Soon, we won’t even have that. What was the fucking point? (Rhetorical: profit)
I know we’re all alive at a special time in humanity. We think we’re so civilized. Then I look around, and it’s the same history playing on repeat. When do the monkeys figure out it’s one species? (Rhetorical again: 😬)
People aren’t all the same species. People with human bodies come in lots of species on the inside. For example, drag has a pet dragon whose body is human. The world is much more interesting after you realise everyone’s different.
Sorry you’re getting dragged for this comment.
For example, drag has a pet dragon whose body is human.
Yeah, I’m all for pronouns and shit, but no. You don’t.
looks at username Uh oh…
Ikr jfc
What? Do you have a problem with dragons, or just with love?
I have a problem with people taking the plight of the LGBT+ community and bastardizing it for their own kinks.
Thanks for putting into words why I’ve always found this user to be icky…
I have a problem with dragons. They’re overused to the point of being boring
That’s a bit of an ironic thing to say if you’re a human.
No it’s not. They don’t fill the same story niche. And you’re human too, regardless of what your calls for calls for attention say.
Yeah? What of it?
You have a pet human? Is that like a sex thing?
No, drag doesn’t have any pet humans. You must have drag confused for someone else.
Does drag have any pet dragons in a human body? Is that pet dragon a sex thing?
That’s a really weird and gross way to talk about drag’s fiance.
Ahh, so that’s why you are the dragon rider 😉
Dunno why they downvoted you.
Because this multiple species take has been a basis of slavery in the past.
people aren’t realizing this is that crazy guy who thinks he’s a dragon and refers to himself in third person.
Drag doesn’t use he/him pronouns, and doesn’t identify as a guy. You’re allowed to disagree with drag’s gender identity and think trans people should only be allowed to identify as genders you approve of, but assigning an entirely new gender onto drag is taking things a bit too far.
Maybe they want the world to be boring
Unfortunately, the people doing it are the media It’s a quintessential “man bites dog” story. Normally it’s the insurance companies killing civilians. Everyone is going to cover it. The police had a manhunt because it would look ridiculous if they didn’t solve such a high-profile case.
It’s kind of a symbiotic relationship, the media covers it, the police react harshly, the media covers it more.
What a shocking surprise. Why stop there? Why not charge him with genocide? Bring him to The Hague and charge him with war crimes?
Billionaires are reading this post and thoughtfully taking notes.
Who exactly is terrified here?
Billionaires want to be both political and non-political. They want to be the average person who “worked hard to get where they are without help” and they want to be the special upper class who deserves special protection when one of their own gets shot.
This is very close to them admitting that class warfare is real.
Keep highlighting the issue.
Both are awful. There’s too many guns in this country.
You know that the gun was printed right? You could ban all guns and you would never stop someone from making a homemade gun.
There are people in European countries where it’s completely illegal to even own ammunition, they are perfectly able to make fully automatic rifles.
I don’t say any of this as a bad thing btw
Unless there is a plan to strip violent people of firearms, I’m going to continue to make my own and train twice as much as they do.
ARM THE LEFT
Too many guns, too many people willing to shoot those guns, not enough politicians prioritizing mental health
Gun was printed. Do you realize that there is no stopping 3D printed guns now?
I’ve been in the community for many years, reluctantly due to their right wing tendencies. People are making 50 cal sniper rifles, 38 mm grenade launchers, and fully automatic submachine guns.
My little AR pistol runs at 10 rounds per second. Legally
All at home.
The Glock used by Luigi is an old design. He just made the most reliable one (ignoring the silencer issues)
Mental illness like forcing your employees back into the office when they did the job remotely just fine for two years
BOtH SiDeS
Wont be surprised if he ends up executed. Can only hope that people learn something from this
The death penalty is outlawed in New York, isn’t it? Not that he can’t have an “accident” or some shit in prison.
He won’t make it to trial. He’ll get the Epstein treatment.
