Exactly. New York City mayor Adams is a crooked liar who kisses tRump ass & one who throws his people under the bus. No wonder NY residents are always disappointed with him & don’t trust anything he says. Adams failed NY & NYC had enough of him. Period. FACTS…
Very much so. 3 people were stabbed to death in NY and it barely caused a ripple. Justice is not blind. The scales are weighted down by gold, the light side is the penalty
Why are our leaders so stupid? All they are doing is making him more sympathetic. David who slew Goliath. Playing for the cameras and main stream media will backfire. The fact that grown CEO’s think they need their own hotline and our children get nothing proves their only concern is money.
It's the two-tiered Justice system. If you're white and Rich, even if you're convicted, you get to do things like stay out of prison for 6 years while you mount an appeal. Most of these people essentially get a slap on the wrist. On the other hand, if you're working class or below and /or a person
A person of color you end up going to prison at the highest sentencing available for your crime. And sometimes you go to prison even when you didn't commit a crime.
Always has been that way due to the privileges that the rich enjoy which they ensure are embedded in your laws.
Privileges makes a rich person more than the rest so are handled differently to the lesser people.
VP elect is a good example of privileges @ work seeing the Unelect musk melon is Pres.
and making such a grand perpwalk like this is just making Luigi's profile higher and his "cult" I suppose it is, greater too. They didn't think this through
IMO this grandstanding by NYPD and Adams is plain stupid. What are they trying to accomplish? That only made Mangione a bigger hero than he was before this showboating. They have elevated him to cult hero. Good luck with that jury selection.
I don't understand what you're implying. When I was a realtor I worked hard for a living. It's not as easy as what you might think. Most of us don't push people into stuff they don't belong in. I don't know if that's what you meant, but if you meant that, I'm sorry you don't understand
Well, this could happen again in the near future when I go on sites like this it's appalling. It's fun to be in contact with other people, but it's not fun to close your eyes to what's right in front of them
Yup. Musk is taking power without being elected. But it is a sign of the illd which have ailed the US for a long time. There was real hope again in the 60s and 70s but then the nefarious special interest groups, and the idle rich once again took back the power, and started to plunder the land.
It bothers me that the police will spend so much more time and money on catching the killer of a CEO than on a person who abducts, assaults, and murders a child.
An excellent organization!! Heard a podcast about this org recently & am so impressed by the work being done to combat the hostile takeover of religion by christian nationalism. There's Spanish translation as well.🦋
The plots to Richard Condon's novels were basically that government, spy agencies, mafia, and corporations were basically all the same characters intertwined. His novels were not exactly based on fiction, although the characters were fictitious. His books were way better than the movie adaptations.
If it weren’t for private property we wouldn’t have laws or law enforcement at all. It’s not surprising that crimes that affect the wealthier are taken more seriously than those against the rest of us.
I know!! The whole thing looks so ridiculous. There they are, some in full gear, others wearing pants, shirt and a vest, etc and there's Luigi, a very bright target with no vest. They think this "sends a message" of "don't ever kill a CEO or commit a politically violent act" but all this actually
I'm pretty sure its SOP to put a bullet proof vest on an assailant in this type of situation because of the potential for a revenge killing. Then they make the guy walk like 5 blocks... Crazy.
One absurdly selfish 1%er money monger gets murdered and the government is ready to make this the trial of the century and commission Tom Brokaw to write a 500 page illustrated book about American Justice.
I read he was being charged with Terrorism. I don't know how true that is but I find it telling that Dylann Roof or Payton S. Gendron weren't charged with that and they were deliberately trying to start a race war with their acts.
Those in charge are kind of scared because people were starting to come together. I have never seen such a collective shrug at someone being shot in the back before.
Yeah, it’s sickening the difference. How many murders of unknown people could have been solved with even HALF of the resources applied to this one case, because some
wealthy CEO of a firm responsible for thousands of deaths every year met an unsavory end. 😒
It's a high profile murder. This is SEO for that type of inmate. Nothing has changed. A man killed a high powered CEO and now he'll go to prison. Have all of the other rich CEOs come out to apologize and promise to do better?
I think you misunderstand. Dylan roof was white and so he was treated differently. If any of those nine people in the church that he killed had committed this crime, they would have been dragged straight to jail.
Even more likely killed on apprehension. But I think the theatrics is all because of who he killed. He killed a very wealthy white (and I'm guessing Republican) man. Our society views this as a crime of consequence. Mass shootings of non wealthy non whites simply don't merit this kind of show.
They’re going to throw everything they can at him to set an example for the rest of us. They want us scared so we don’t stand up against this tyrannical olygarchy
For sure. The people's hero for bringing mass murdering health insurance CEOs into the national discourse.
He killed ONE guilty person. The CEO refused care causing the death of thousands.
I just want to know why the hell he fled to Altoona, PA. JHC he obviously did not know the mentality of small town hell. It wasn't like he didn't know the dynamic of Philly. We don't even look at each other if we can help it. He would have only had to been concerned with law enforcement. FFS.
The murder of the UHC CEO is still in the headlines, but the school shooting in WI isn't.
And you wonder why 41%of young voters find it acceptable that the CEO was assassinated. Our government, our society has done nothing about guns since the school shooting in Columbine, NOTHING!
Two Missouri Republican lawmakers wrote a bill to legalize silencers in Missouri the moment the CEO assassination hit the news...because they don't care about the urban communities. They don't care that a shot might alert others to move to safety. They don't care about our police.
Look how scared they are of this man in shackles. And look at how defiant he remains. I think of him every day and know he must be in terrible pain in jail with his back.
I guarantee that if wealthy corporate CEOs were in danger from random gun shootings and not our school children …we’d have gun restriction laws so fast. It’s all about the money.
Actually , I would like to see the formal charges against him renamed “Crimes Against the Rich.” Not likely to happen, but revolution begins with a whisper.
You are correct about the disparity in our justice system over rich and poor, Black and white, etc.
But I gotta say, this coward shot an unarmed man in the back. Yes, the victim was the CEO for UH. But if we, as a society, condone cold-blooded killing without a trial, we are acting with trump/putin
I saw your deleted reply. The rule of law will not protect us against a felon who stacked the Supreme Court. Our rights are being eroded before our eyes.
You're correct that a felon has stacked the Sup.Crt. I will fight for our Democracy. But there have got to be lines we do not cross. I'm sure there were lines that the people of 1940 Nazi Germany said they wouldn't cross but did anyway. Without rules, we become the enemy of what it is to be just.
I deleted because I felt my response was knee-jerk, and I needed to consider what you were saying. I am trying to do that these days. I am a believer in the rule of law. It is what keeps us from becoming facist dictators. Shooting people in the back is cowardly and wrong. Full stop.
Amazing the media doesn’t care as much about an innocent student and teacher killed this week. Where’s their TV special? This case will be receiving more attention because of his CEO title. Is his life more important?
Literally an opportunity for the Department of Redundancy Department (AKA DOGE) to point at the picture and say "anyone not touching the perp or holding a rifle is surplus."
I took criminal justice in college and there were entire chapters abt how different races/socioeconomic statuses are treated differently throughout the entire process
There certainly are extremely good examples of this, but don't forget that here the perpetrator is also white upper-class; it's bc of who he shot that the police are taking this seriously.
If course, if he were black/lower class it's just as likely he wouldn't have made it out of McDonald's alive.
They'd have chopped him up with a machete and mounted his head on a spike on Wall Street, both as a warning to the poor for them to know their place and as a reassurance to the rich that the monster is dead.
So what’s the problem with it ? He’s still a productive human being and not some welfare slum. And I’m sure the rich kid who shit him for no reason at all except to get attention could afford the best medical money can buy !
Regular bank robber, 60 months equaling 10 years… bank robber who accidentally hit a rich oligarchs bank, 2022 months… Not even fuckin kidding I was at the same prison with the guy. Two thousand and twenty two months.
The news is endlessly covered every aspect of this shooter’s life but all forgotten the little coverage of the last school shooting which was the 323rd of 2024.
the cynical and horrifying part of that is because school shootings or mass shootings have become a normal part of our lives so it's just part of the news--one day on and the next day off, just like a local news story that starts "one man shot after altercation on Part street last night..." We've
I’m so sorry it took so long to respond to you. I’m a little slow sometimes. Not the best on the uptake. I just realize there’s a response button. You’re totally right and it’s this gun lobby was sopowerful throw so much money at the Congress. they don’t give two shits about the children kids killed
normalized it because we as a country refuse to do what is necessary to lessen mass shootings through more gun control, mental health, etc. It seems that for many, they've chosen their guns over their children and over each other. It's horrifying so the media sees one of the elite's death as more
Yeah, sorry it took me so long to respond. I didn’t know there was a respond button. I was wondering why no one responded to my post. I’m not so bright. Yes a huge double standard when it fits their needs the person is mentally ill. If it’s the other way around protecting the gun, it’s another story
extraordinary especially since it was targeted at a health insurance CEO, another part of our cynical society that shackles us because it is for the most part the only way to get healthcare is to have health insurance and they, in their greed decide what they'll pay and deny so as you and I know--
That’s really ironic, and really sick is the people who say they’re pro life and scream about embryos don’t give two shits about when the embryo becomes an actual human being. They won’t do anything for them won’t help feed them school them no healthcare for them etc., etc. such hypocrites.
Exactly. That's been the ongoing issue with them, and when anyone points out the obvious to them about it, they shake their heads and scream whataboutisms
they cause a lot of pain and anguish with denied claims but that's normalized and seen as just the cost of doing business--capitalism, etc. It's ok for the rich to get richer. So this is what the media focuses on because "OH NO" one of the rich got it. I hate murder. It's wrong but the unseemly
I think the system sent the wrong message with this photo op. They got the man strutting down the boulevard with all his bitches in tow.
If they're not careful they might make a hero out of this guy.
They should have got Hulk Hogan to guard him, dressed as Thor.
This is what happens when adults engage in MCU, the government emulate it to emotionally pacify them.
I think it's time to consider a nationwide general strike. Two options to consider: 1) to coincide with a government shut down or 2) on inauguration day, 31 days from today. Please consider and reply.
Most people worship the rich. Seems it's been that way all through history.
Personally I don't. And do t understand why we are ok the police did not solve the other murders the same day. And we are ok with it it seems since it didn't affect 99.9% of us directly. Sad

These appear to be actual police, not private security.
Just sayin'...
Oligarchs.
And the ppl historically overthrew Oligarchs for good reason.
Respect!
So, the media are very confused about the rules.

He should have been treated just like every other alleged murderer in this situation. They wanted to flex.
Also they didn't even give him a vest...
I'm pretty sure its SOP to put a bullet proof vest on an assailant in this type of situation because of the potential for a revenge killing. Then they make the guy walk like 5 blocks... Crazy.
If you kill 1000 patients you get a multi-million dollar bonus.
The system is broken.
(This is borrowed from various others across the web)
One can hope.
wealthy CEO of a firm responsible for thousands of deaths every year met an unsavory end. 😒
- one of the defense lawyer’s arguments
The rich still rule us.
Maybe we need a better solution, and when that solution comes, it'll likely take all of us to effectuate lasting change.
They'll beef up security, for a while.
Just means you have to be a better shot from farther away.
And can they really trust that hired strongman?
Luigi is not a terrorist
But none of the nine people Roof murdered in a Christian Church were white or rich.
Go after black people, get a happy meal
Go after billionaires, get frog-marched in cuffs
We want a jury to hear his case, and then set him free.
He killed ONE guilty person. The CEO refused care causing the death of thousands.
The media is going to cover this 24/7 and will only exacerbate the problem, making it harder to find jurors willing to hang him
And you wonder why 41%of young voters find it acceptable that the CEO was assassinated. Our government, our society has done nothing about guns since the school shooting in Columbine, NOTHING!
They've funneled millions into the NRA so we can ban books while they gun down our children....
No vest?
Real warriors of justice there…
in CT he would be in belly chains or his hands would be behind his back
But I gotta say, this coward shot an unarmed man in the back. Yes, the victim was the CEO for UH. But if we, as a society, condone cold-blooded killing without a trial, we are acting with trump/putin
Louis XVI has all the wealth. The people face poverty, inequity, *rising prices*. They storm the Bastille, eliminate feudalism.
Q. How is this different from Luigi?
A. It ain't over.
MSM: Stop with the "murder is bad" crap. The people have been forced into asymmetrical war.
And we do not care about people being shot anymore either. Politicians are paid to vote against gun control. (Look it up.)
12 kids a day die from guns and we do not care. Name one of them from this week. Just one.
Asymmetric warfare is what remains.
Is it possible that by traipsing him around like this, they're merely stoking the fires they wish to dim?
They are trying to scare everyone into compliance.
Morons.
If course, if he were black/lower class it's just as likely he wouldn't have made it out of McDonald's alive.
This trial is gonna be extremely hard to prosecute
They won't be able to find an impartial jury
But I'm sure Elon/Trump's new DOJ is gonna make a giant circus out of this to send a message
IBT pickets,in front of Amazon facilities.
If he had shot a regular person am sure you couldn’t see such excessive force
He’s a murderer with a lot of supporters.. of course they’ll have more security. A rich and famous criminal will also have more security.
