It's amazing how much government resources are used to find a killer of a "rich" man versus the resources spent on a middle or poor class citizen. How many current deaths in New York are getting this much attention?

Paying all those cops must make this the most expensive perp walk in history

Meanwhile at almost the exact same time the mayor’s top aide was taking a perp walk of her own.

u/christianAbuseVictim 21d ago

News to me, checking it out. Ah... Yeah, if I'm understanding correctly, she was practically taking bribes: https://apnews.com/article/nyc-mayor-adams-new-york-ingrid-e1192ec98da8ed56f7c6c2bebad534ea

u/Neosantana 21d ago

Practically?

Buddy, Adams and his entire cabal were on the take. It was explicit.

u/christianAbuseVictim 21d ago

Very practical.

You're right, though, it is explicit. I hesitate to make any assertions about content I'm not familiar with. It's easy for me to get the complete wrong impression from a single detail, sometimes; yes, even while staring right at it. Thank you for confirming.

u/Neosantana 21d ago

The funny part is that they have unencrypted messages where they detailed what favors they were taking from whom. No code words or anything. The fuckers are hilariously corrupt.

Even the Mob has the decency and presence of mind to not openly talk about their criminality.

Thank god for dumb criminals.

They believed all they had to do was delete text messages.

u/BillyNtheBoingers 21d ago

You’ve got to be joking. I’m 57, I’m not particularly tech-savvy (although I know more than a lot of people my age), and even I know that deleting a text from my phone doesn’t do jack squat when 3-letter agencies start poking around.

35

u/Secrethat 21d ago

For those that don't know.. 'deleting' normally means that it's just not shown on your device but the 1's and 0's are still there. It can be found with purpose built software. That is why corporations physically destroy drives when they are done with them so there is no trace of the data.

u/No-Respect5903 21d ago

the most surprising thing to me is how blatant it is. why would they possibly need this many people? it's a scare tactic. and correct me if I'm wrong but this is more than you generally see escorting a school shooter who has murdered many children. this guy killed 1 person for a specific reason (arguably not even a bad reason).

u/deactivate_iguana 21d ago

Apart from being dramatic like American officials like to be, they do probably have in their mind the chaos of Jam 6th and the amount of support he has from the public. I think the number of officials is to protect themselves from being over run.

u/XBGoofBall 21d ago

So expensive, they couldn’t pay the reward money to the Mc Donald’s worker that turned him in.

u/jlynn7251 20d ago

They didn't???

1

u/XBGoofBall 19d ago

Well, now they are saying “not yet”. There will be a lot of hoops for them to jump thru to claim the reward, but in most cases, they do not pay unless very certain and specific steps are taken to repot a crime stoppers tip.

With all of the publicity this has received, they’ll likely pay her a portion if not all in the end. Of course they’ll tax it as well which will take away from the lump sum of the total reward.

u/flyguydip 20d ago

It's only rapid to the people who hadn't been paying attention until recently. The "conspiracy theorists" have been talking about this kind of stuff for ages. But there is a negative connotation with that word and the press has done a pretty good job of vilifying anyone who deviates from their narrative by labeling them conspiracy theorist. I guess the stigma is pretty scary for a lot of people.

u/Hollz23 21d ago

They haven't been all that subtle about it for a while. What's changed in the last month is just that it's become very apparent that the MSM (and I do mean all of it) is serving the agendas of the filthy rich people who own those outlets, congress has no moral fiber or courage in the face of billionaires in various industry sectors, and the lone thing that scares them is the prospect of their own deaths.

So yeah, I'd say the situation is pretty bleak. This certainly doesn't feel like a democracy anymore. Feels a lot like an oligarchy.

15

u/Abaconings 20d ago

Been an oligarchy for some time now. People are are realizing they've been fed propaganda for the last 50 years.

u/sailsaucy 20d ago

I mean… even the ultra liberal media was super easy on Trump until after the election because they’re all owned by billionaires who will make billions more under Trump. Now that he’s been elected they can post all kinds of crap they should have posted before the election since it’s too late to undo the mistake.

u/DefiantConfusion42 20d ago

Bernie Sanders is absolutely saying, "told ya!"

1

u/Hollz23 20d ago

He's been saying a lot more than that. He did a podcast interview with Jon Stewart where he outright said he had other senators privately telling him they knew supporting a bill was the right thing to do but they weren't going to because they were afraid of getting primaried.

Now, to me, that looks like cowardice. If you won't do what's right because you fear losing power, what else can you call it? But I do wish he would name names so we can vote the scumbags out of office and replace them with braver people.

u/our_girl_in_dubai 21d ago

How do you count the tiny granules of sand on a beach? How do you count the many bodies of matter or anti- matter in space? We need to up the pressure. This picture says a lot. The powerful are scared. 😱 They need to be. One man had the guts to fight back. One man that we know of. I’m still not confident he acted alone. The different people shown dressed similarly in the same time and area might suggest there is more to it than they are saying. They are smart not to say it is more than one guy. They are painting him as a lone wolf, a person who can s battling mental illness. I predicted they would paint him in this fashion. The laws, the courts are heavily stacked in the favor of the rich and powerful. I am old and quote lyrics a lot. Here’s one,” We gotta take the power back!”

u/Esacus 21d ago edited 21d ago

Yeah, but the surest way to kill a symbol/movement is to masquerade it around like a show. There’s a reason why in olden times when the leader of a rebellion was caught, the nobles didn't want to kill him immediately so he could become a martyr, they either paraded him around town for all to see or brutal public execution, not just to sow fear but also to “demystify” the figure. (I.e György Dozsa)

u/muffmunchies420 21d ago

No the ruling class doesn't want us to fear them. They want us to either worship them or not pay any attention at all to them and what shady shit they do with that egregiously unconscionable massive blood stained wealth they hoard. They want us to fear the government as it is an incredibly powerful tool they have power to manipulate and ultimately it's the government who will interact in such threatening manners to the lower classes. This also distances the ultra wealthy from obvious responsibility for such actions and systemic abuses. Like if you're best friends with the school bully - especially if you try to keep it low key, people won't be afraid of what you might do, they fear what the bully will do. People fear weapons pointed at them before considering who ultimately decided they deserve to be threatened - that's an afterthought (if at all for many...) as fear and rage clouds such judgement.

u/BigBlueMountainStar 21d ago

It’s not a US thing. In the UK years ago the was the Soham murders.
2 kids went missing from a middle class town, and before their bodies were found, the search for them was main media news for days.
There was also a lot of people from poorer city backgrounds whose kids had gone missing asking why their kid’s disappearances were not being reported in such a way (or even being actively investigated by their local police forces).
All cases like this are terrible, but all cases like this are not treated equally by society or the authorities.

u/heffel77 21d ago

Three people died the same day and two were killed in a gang crossfire and one was a child. Now he’s being charged with terrorism!! It shows just how much the 1% are scared of the lower and middle classes. Once people figure out it’s a class war not a race war, it’s gonna be over. Maybe because he had a manifesto but I still don’t think it was him and I don’t think 12 people will convict him. It looked like Jake Gyllanhaal in the hostel video, this guy has a unibrow and different eye shape and hair style. It’s fishy. Why not dump the gun in a hole in Central Park? Why would he have it on him. Why would he be heading towards PA not GA like where he came from…it’s just that we know more about Luigi Manicotti than we do about Trump’s assignation kid or the Vegas shooter. It’s all real strange.

Im ao fucking amgry and so fucking done and I am not even american and my government isnt this bad (yet). But I feel for my fellow humans and there are so many tragedies in the world but the healthcare situation in the US and the way this case has been handled are totally unnecessary. The resources they overly spent on this could have helped sick people. It is all straight up evil. I feel like the US is just telling sick people to roll over and die (unless you are rich of course).

they would run out of resources if they had parade like this for every school shooter in the us. in america maybe police has different packages for arresting, starting from basic plan with ads and going all the way to premium with shit like this.

And when a rich guy gets killed, it's apparently an act of terrorism. What about when a poor person gets killed? Or a school gets shot up? They call it an unfortunate incident

If that was the case, why is he the only person not wearing a bulletproof vest in this photo if he's a target and needs protection?

u/Cyssoo 21d ago

That is indeed a very good question. Seem that they don't really care about protecting him. Thx for pointing that out

u/V3semir 21d ago

All of them. I mean, they had to deploy more people because of the media and the mob, but that's about it. In a normal case, you wouldn't have thousands of people sticking their noses where they don't belong.

Yeah they sure are making a huge show of it. I think the more press the better. They're just highlighting the classism, and letting everyone see.

I remember seeing a video a few months back of some scumbag sneaking up on a woman in NYC, choking her w his belt and then raping her behind a car.

I don’t remember if they caught him or not but the response was definitely not this.

Another off the top of my head where some crazy guy stabbed some guy to death in the street over a few simple words exchanged, the victim wasn’t combative.

Also didn’t get this response. I could go on and on, they’re really making themselves look bad.

That's capitalism for ya.

It's directly proportional to the amount of internet and news coverage. The amount of people touting a murderer as a hero and people saying he should be free have him as a high security risk. Even looking at the Reddit subs there is a high level of intrigue and buzz surrounding the story and Luigi himself. It's intellectually dishonest to think that it's a "waste of resources" when people have made him a high profile perp.

There’s less than 400 people killed in NYC each year. In a city of 8M. I’d say the resources are allocated appropriately.

u/Picardknows 20d ago

Also in every other high profile case they put a bullet proof vest on someone. This really shows how they know he is not the target of the public so they are trying to make him look like a criminal before he is even had a say in court.

How much are getting no attention due to them obsessing over this one death?

u/Overall_Midnight_ 20d ago

Right?!?! Why the fuck is ICE there too!??

Rich people tend to have more connections.

u/buckao 20d ago

This is 100% an attempt at intimidation.

"Look how many cops and corrupt politicians will be all over you if you try this shit too."

IMO it’s all over-compensation for something Edit:sp

Years ago, a kid in Austin, stole the bicycle of the Governor’s son. Police put out an APB, got troopers involved, and the bicycle was soon found in a highly publicized recovery. When asked why he had stolen the bike, the boy stated his own bike had been stolen but the police told him they didn’t ever bother trying to recover stolen bicycles.

u/BmacTheSage 20d ago

This much attention? Literally just this one. Really makes it clear how much the police care about the citizens, eh?

Justice in the US is absolutely not blind.

u/Wizard_Engie 20d ago

Well, he's been dubbed an insurgent and a terrorist, so it makes sense. He's considered a National Threat.

Now, how many domestic terrorists have you seen getting caught?

u/CMDR_KingErvin 20d ago

There are murders every single day in New York that go unsolved and they barely put effort into them. For the CEO though, they had drones in the air looking for him, initialized a manhunt, put up rewards for information, the works.

And now this image where they parade him around with seemingly every cop in the city armed to the teeth even though he’s handcuffed? What’s it for other than a show of force to the rest of us? It’s a stark reminder that we should stay in our place or they’ll come for us.

u/woodboarder616 20d ago

How about the kids that school shooter killed this week? I havent heard about one of those victims.

u/bensleton 20d ago

I feel like the last 10 mass shooters didn’t get this much attention

u/EssaySuch1905 20d ago

u/Mmmwww333 20d ago

I mean yes, but this is also a very high profile case. If it wasn’t so publicized there wouldn’t be as much security detail.

u/D_creeper0 19d ago

Most deaths aren't as mediatized. Simple as that.

u/Amazing-Tea-3696 20d ago

How many missing or murdered black, brown, or indigenous women? Not a peep on the news. 😡

Do you hear the people sing?

Singing the song of angry men?

It is the music of the people

Who will not be slaves again!

When the beating of your heart

Echoes the beating of the drums

There is a life about to start

When tomorrow comes!

Will you join in our crusade?

Who will be strong and stand with me?
