Hopefully inspired by.

The only thing left is for some bootlicker to wack him in jail and claim it's suicide, and Luigi will be more famous than Harambe.

I'd argue that he already is. It would just elevate him from legend to marter.

Is this how the bell riots start? I hope so, I'm tired of waiting.

I just saw the news that they've charged him with terrorism. It's like they want to keep the outrage going, and give the jury a reason to acquit.

They've charged Brian Thompson with terrorism for what he did - or at least caused - to tens of thousands of people each year?
Finally they start to make sense!

18 people died since you made this comment due to UHC greed.

Most life insurance policies don't cover acts of terrorism.

I'm just saying....

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not guilty. You can only murder human beings. Brian Robert Thompson willingly relinquished his humanity a long time ago. What Luigi did was more akin to using bleach to treat mold in the bathroom. Killing a living thing? Yes. Murder? Certainly not.

Daniel Jackson: It’s obviously fighting to survive.

O’Neill: So do bacteria!

Oh, one Luigi damaged your world? Institute health care reform, or we'll send dozens of them, one after the other!

God. How was SG1 so damn good? Every few years I do a rewatch of the whole franchise. It's a masterpiece.

They can charge him with whatever they want. Proving it to a jury is a whole other thing.

[–] chappedafloat@lemmy.wtf 24 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Be careful not to say anything positive about luigi because you're certainly going to end up on a priority list of people they are going to keep a lot of surveillance on. It's true, feds are terrified of people who seem inspired by things like this. If you say something really really nice about Luigi, the feds might even send you one of their female undercover agents to be your girlfriend for a while and spy on you.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 12 points 19 hours ago

Some dingdong on Lemmy messaged me to tell me that he had notified the FBI about a Luigi post I made. LOL sure bud.

I'm gay. She'll have no power. They better send a muscle zaddy instead.

Where do I sign up for this?

I can fix her~~

Mangione has tapped into something most Americans share: a deep hatred of our health insurance system and of the profiteers who seem so indifferent to our suffering and death. He has still not been mentioned by Donald Trump, who must realize that Mangione’s fandom has no political boundaries.

Wow even DT can't touch this

id rather people focus on the lessons learned.

as long as this puts fear back into the burgeoise i aint complaining too much though.

[–] fannymcslap@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

Obsess away as long as it leads to more billionaires in the guillotine.

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 43 points 1 day ago (6 children)

Hopefully he's the first of hundreds.

the bullet etchings alone make it a work of art. He picked out the absolute most unloved plutocrat in america. Its very much a masterwork execution at a time when everybody wanted a reprieve from the trump media circus.

Timing: 10/10

Execution: 9/10

Target 10/10

Style: 10/10

We live in a country this happens every day I would take a CEO death over a Sandy Hook every time. I wish shootings weren't as common but it is what it is.

[–] dan@upvote.au 1 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

Execution: 9/10

Apart from the fact that he was caught by sitting in a public place and getting recognized, rather than laying low and staying out of public view for a while.

Assuming it's actually Luigi. Not sure there's even definitive proof yet.
