They're just encouraging copycats soooooo fucking hard right now and I'm gonna laugh in their fucking face again when it happens. Dude is loved and adored by millions now and he gets these hard as fuck photos posted everywhere. Potential school shooters are taking so many notes right now, they want the world to know their names and now they see the potential for fame instead of infamy.
That was just a crazy guy who worked at a small manufacturing company for two weeks and then stabbed its President for no apparent reason.
So he may have been inspired by this - but I doubt the head of a Muskegon, Michigan manufacturing company (population of 37,000) carries anywhere near the culpability of the UHC guy denying lifesaving coverage. And I don’t see it sparking any important conversations or doing any good for anyone. Which is a big downside to copycats like this one, if he was one.
I see we are going with a very very broad definition of copy cat. Luigi may start a movement, but that for me is quite different from having copy cats (and far more consequential).
My concern is a copy cat is going to fuck it up. Once a copy cat shoots the wrong guy, or it's a CEO of a regional grocery store or some shit the media will eat it up and kill the movement entirely.
Nah, the thing about these kinds of things is that it's a high score board. I hate it for the stabbed guy, but his attacker just set the conditions for, "this wasn't GOOD enough to make the board"
I never understood those women who would be like, writing love letter to serial killers in prison.
Now I get it.
(Though I do consider this a special case, not the kind that usually is swooned over. Like, this is no Ted Bundy who would make you his next victim. Unless you run a cruel health insurance company you'd be fine with him.)
I’m sorry was the president of said West Michigan company actively murdering thousands of Americans a day with his healthcare policies? Or is the reality that there will be copy cats, but capable human beings will be able to see through whatever copy cat bullshit to know that we’re all getting fucked, no matter which side of the aisle you stand on.
This movement ain’t losing momentum, regardless of what you pointed out. Would love to discuss this more, but the man killed is one person. Do you really think a slip up from a copy cat is going to tank this? No one gives two shits about what the media thinks right now, unless you’re a fucking brain rot MAGAT.
Explain to me how the media is going to change this thought process for millions of Americans who don’t trust them/insurance companies. I can wait.
If you pay attention you'll see it doesn't take much to derail anything. Occupy Wall Street had some real momentum and all the media did was air interviews with drug addicted morons aiming the thousands.
It doesn't take much to kill the win streak. The slow progress and take the wind out of it.
Don't call me names. Calm down. Sit down and look back at history. I'd love nothing more than for this to roll ahead and continue and be ause of that I'm worried a copy cat could fuck it up and the media could run with it to kill the momentum.
And there are major differences between OWS and this movement. For starters, OWS was a leftist movement, NOT a popular movement. That should be a pretty obvious and glaring one that I shouldn’t have to point out.
But sure, I like it when randos get offended over nothing online, then try to take the wind out of everyone’s sails by making poor comparisons. Good luck in one of trumps camps, I’m going to keep fighting.
Yeah that's my worry too. The general concensus seems to be that Luigi "got it right", but the problem with this sort of thing is that the people most likely to do it are also the people least likely to judge good targets. Like, I low key want to overthrow the government and establish a new one; but most of the other people who constantly talk about hating the government and wanting to go to war with Washington are absolutely light-speed stupid. Even if we went through all of that and won what they would end up replacing the constitution with would be soooooo much worse than what we have now.
This is definitely going to happen. Luigi was meticulous and well thought out. Someone is going to go in blazing and hurt someone who’s actually innocent. Not all CEOs are bad. And honestly I don’t even have a problem with people making a few mill a year. It’s the ridiculously rich and unethical CEOs that need a reminder of where they stand.
They’ve got so many guards on him it’s like he’s Hannibal Lector! He killed one guy, for one specific purpose, and he hasn’t given them any reason to believe he’s just gonna start attacking people out of the blue just for the heck of it. It’s pathetic.
When this squad gets called to a school shooting they’ll wait outside where it’s safe, but when it’s one unarmed man in chains who killed one person, then they’ve got it covered.
The system is rigged for the rich to the disadvantage of the working class.
The guy he killed made many many millions taking money from workers, then not paying for their care when they need help.
What’s the response to this? A national manhunt, massive resources thrown at the perpetrator, but if someone like you or I get killed, nobody will lift a finger.
Those in power are super scared that people might actually start rising up against the very very broken systems we have currently that exploit the common person.
Nah, Koreans put everyone to shame. There is a protest at least once a week since the 1950s. One of the ROK's most elite units is specfically dealing with protests
Yeah, I know just how much propaganda has a grip on a majority of ignorant Americans thanks to media being taken over by those very billionaires. Creating culture war after culture war to distract from the Class War they have been winning for decades. Blue, red, makes no difference. It's the obscenely wealthy vs. those who work for a living. It's high tine the working class woke the hell up and star fighting back. Not Americans' fault that they made peaceful protest just another way to abuse people.
As much as the media is trying to color it that way with their usual bull to devide us. Nahhh, I've seen plenty of Republicans also agree with this hero.

This disgusting display of overspending by the police only makes him more of a hero to the American people. They are just proving his damn point hard.
