Jesus what I wouldn’t give to see Trump in that orange suit flanked by all of those cops.

I love this place. Post anything about this on reddit and it's likely to be removed if it gets too positive or the bots downvote it.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Reddit is a place to promote product. This isn't product. Give it time and big lemmy servers will turn into reddit, but for now we get to enjoy a safe space.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 days ago

Thankfully, because of the way Lemmy is built, we will forever have smaller communities that don't turn into garbage like that.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago

Reddit let this thing run first week as they couldn't moderate the sentiment this strong but looks like after that they cracked down.

Lemmy world news sub was suppressing this very aggressively during that time.

Mods dropped in in unrelated sub threatening to remove the discussion if we didn't keep it "civil"

Some clown ass behavior.

I think they want to intimidate others, but honestly giving him this much of a spotlight should be the dream of anyone thinking about attacking another CEO for attention.

[–] [email protected] 139 points 3 days ago (5 children)

I don't see how they don't see it.

[–] [email protected] 61 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Maybe the cops are playing both sides? I'm definitely giving them too much credit there, but maybe?

[–] [email protected] 77 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (4 children)

While I'm sure there is no love lost towards healthcare execs from even the police, an uptick of "terrorism" could also be used as an excuse to give even more power to the police as well.

Brian Thompson pleaded guilty to drunk driving in 2017, the same month he became CEO.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Damnnn that is one interpretation of drunk driving. "officer, you don't understand, drunk driving putting everyones life and freedom at risk is what makes us human

Buying a second house for your estranged wife is very normal. I’ve got tons of very real, normal human friends that buy their wives second houses because divorce would cost more than a second house.

The person is very human, yes.

There's 2 possible reasons to have "military" escort. either...

  1. They must protect the perp from assassination.
  2. They must prevent mob from liberating him.

All they’re doing is making him look like a badass. They need enough cops to suppress Superman if he turned bad.

The managerial class really is terrified, huh?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

If the cops arrested Superman it wouldn't be because he went bad.

[–] [email protected] 96 points 3 days ago (1 children)

They sure do love taking and posting pictures of him and then yelling at people to not give him any press. How many pics have we seen of him in custody? They dont want coverage of him silenced, they want to control that narrative. US justice system is a sad broken dishonest state of affairs.

[–] [email protected] 64 points 3 days ago

Every day Trump walks free has been sad proof of that

If they bring out a regiment to guard your show trial you're almost certainly on the right side of history.

Probably.

I love that Adams is there. He literally has no reason to be there other than self promotion. Do you think they discussed the finer points of being indicted federally? Maybe he is trying to get him to ask for a Trump pardon.

I never liked those shoes. They are like a bad knock off of toms. Somehow they even make shittier crocs for jails as well... I remember walking into a Walmart and a guy being like "yo when did you serve" as I was buying a pair of entnies (didn't know they sold them there, but they were like $25) to finish my 19 mile walk home. Wasn't sure how he knew at first, then realized he remembered those shitty shoes as well.

(Things not to do in life, get pulled out of bed in the middle of the night by police wearing no shoes and forced to walk across a stone driveway.)

Innocent until proven guilty time and time again proves to be not how our system works. Alleged charges were dismissed and expunged. The impact on my life, not able to be taken back.

Yeah, the criminal justice system in the U.S. causes immeasurable harm. From a probation system designed to keep you in the system, to kids-for-cash-like schemes that I'm convinced are more common than has been prosecuted, to coercive delay tactics. All of which I have personal experience with. I've currently been out on bail for 2 years, and someone else in my county has been in jail without trial for 5 years because he can't afford bail. Not to mention the horrible conditions in many jails and prisons, slave labor, nearly complete lack of rehabilitation, and the system milking the incarcerated's families for money. I can't think of any other word to describe it than evil.

They're really telling on themselves. Scared shitless.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (3 children)

That's what bothers me. The government is like 'the memes about him aren't true, he's nothing special. It's just murder'

Then they turn around and prosecute saying 'this isn't just murder! Look at all the memes! This needs to be enforced like the special event it is'

You can't have your cake and eat it too. The judicial branch has been downplaying it as a simple murder. One man mad at another man. Nothing more. Cool. Then prosecute it as such.

The inconsistent words jeopardize the faith in the system. Neo Nazi lynches a man to prove a point to an entire race that they are not safe... Murder, not terrorism.

Guy kills a CEO over his personal issues with treatment with no master plan or manifesto? That's a terrorist?

The public needs consistency or we lose trust in the system.

I saw this on the news and honestly wondered how many cops are required for this prisoner transfer? Because all those people are getting paid to walk a guy past cameras, and they're probably all getting paid more than me, and there's SO many of them

So when Netflix made a film adaptation of 13 Reasons Why they called in specialists to try and make it tasteful. What happened was they were faxed a list of shit NOT TO DO, only some dumbass in charge of production mistook it for a list of "THINGS YOU ABSOLUTELY SHOULD DO! DO IT! IT'LL BE FUNNY!", leading to outrage from said professionals who then pondered why they were consulted at all if they were going to be so blatantly ignored and a spike of suicides that coincided with release of the thing. Ya know cause glorifying suicide to a bunch of suicidal people is probably not going to end well.

Anyway, when that guy got fired from Netflix, I'm sure he got hired for the Dark Cabal that writes the talking points for the mass media.

Because they definitely sent him a list of "Shit not to do, because if you did it it would just make Luigi into even more of a Modern Day Robin Hood" and he proceeded to mistake it for a "Definitely do this, because it'll totally get people to mourn Brian Thomspon." list

I mean, Jaquim Phoenix's Joker did... what? Kill Jay Leno on air? Luigi is definitely in the top 3 Jokers, way above Leto and Phoenix.
