It'd be so funny if the real killer strikes again. timmy-pray

Luigi wasn’t the shooter

[-] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 40 points 2 weeks ago

I can attest, he was at my birthday party at the time of the shooting.

[-] Bartsbigbugbag@lemmy.ml 40 points 2 weeks ago

No, but genuinely, we’ve seen no real smoking gun evidence, and they’re working hard to make sure he doesn’t have the proper resources to defend himself.

[-] axont@hexbear.net 32 points 2 weeks ago

I remember the NYPD claims it has DNA evidence but it's the famously racist and inept NYPD. I don't buy the whole McDonald's arrest though. None of that makes sense.

[-] Collatz_problem@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago

Could be parallel construction, where they found him with some blatantly illegal shit of PRISM type, and now try to invent somewhat-legal evidence.

All the adventurism haters pretty vindicated this year as all of the adventurism that happened amounted to literally nothing.

Get organized folks, random acts of individual violence are meaningless

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 65 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I don't think it amounted to nothing. I think the before and after of this event has completely and totally changed conversations I have. Previously if I so much as veered towards the very idea of harming property, let alone doing violence, I would have been met with intense pushback from "civility" liberals. Now though? It has become fringe to be against violence if ghouls clearly deserve it.

Has it achieved policy change? No. But has it affected the proletariat? 100% yes it has, it broke the obsession with non-violence and high-ground in the massive majority of people. I see that as a prerequisite to revolution. You can not perform violence without people supporting violence and catalyst events need to occur that push people onto that.

Similarly however, catalyst events can push people in the opposite direction too.

[-] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 34 points 2 weeks ago

Every revolution has an adventurist phase. Going "uh aktually adventurism is bad" isn't going to stop that phase from happening. The phases are nonviolence -> disorganized violence -> organized violence. The organizational phases of organized violence is paramilitary -> guerilla army -> conventional military -> nuclear power.

The key question is which you think is better at turning into organized violence: organized nonviolence or disorganized violence?

[-] jack@hexbear.net 29 points 2 weeks ago

The key question is which you think is better at turning into organized violence: organized nonviolence or disorganized violence?

Eventually they synthesize when they each reach sufficient scale. Disorganized violence is inevitable, but solid organization must be consciously built.

counterpoint: random acts of individual violence, while meaningless, can be extremely funny

[-] anoriginalthought@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 week ago

Even if it means and amounts to nothing, it brought a lot of people a little bit of joy and gave us all a sense of community, of shared sentiment. For one brief second, we were united while the ruling class trembled. It won't topple the bourgeoisie, but the working class shared something, and I think that's kind of special.

[-] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 38 points 2 weeks ago

It amounted to brian Thompson being dead

[-] mendiCAN@hexbear.net 27 points 2 weeks ago

and while not nearly enough to satisfy it was a meal i would have again

[-] Blakey@hexbear.net 15 points 2 weeks ago

mmm... keep going...

[-] dustcommie@hexbear.net 19 points 2 weeks ago

All the "Get Organized" haters are vindicated because they have amounted to nothing or even set backs... Not every action brings about revolution or topples empires or changes policy in a bourgeois state etc.

[-] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 15 points 2 weeks ago

Ridiculous take, because every win that has ever happened in history has happened because of folks who got organized. I mean plenty of unions had wins this year and every year, you think that's just a coincidence?

[-] oscardejarjayes@hexbear.net 8 points 2 weeks ago

you think that's just a coincidence

yes trump-yassified

[-] miz@hexbear.net 50 points 2 weeks ago
[-] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 35 points 2 weeks ago

If you say so!

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 26 points 2 weeks ago

The front page team knew what they were doing.

[-] kristina@hexbear.net 45 points 2 weeks ago

Assassination? His body just did that

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 52 points 2 weeks ago

We still don't have the toxicology reports, so we can't rule out that he was overdosing on prescription opioids. Brian Thompson was no angel.

[-] anoriginalthought@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 week ago

Lead in his body? Wasn't he a boomer?

[-] FnordPrefect@hexbear.net 44 points 2 weeks ago

luigi-dance Merry Deny-Defend-Deposmas! one and all! luigi-dance

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 43 points 2 weeks ago

What assassination? He tripped and fell into some bullets.

[-] jackmaoist@hexbear.net 42 points 2 weeks ago

Can't believe it has been 3 years already

[-] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 41 points 2 weeks ago

1995 was 400 years ago, feel old yet?

[-] mendiCAN@hexbear.net 13 points 2 weeks ago

yeah three years feels right. one... no, my mind insists it can't have been one year

[-] supafuzz@hexbear.net 35 points 2 weeks ago

do a wellness check, and if they're too well, take the appropriate measures

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 35 points 2 weeks ago
[-] Tabitha@hexbear.net 25 points 2 weeks ago

they say the landing of the moon rocket is closer to the pyramids

[-] Crucible@hexbear.net 22 points 2 weeks ago

Make sure not to lionize him, we don't want lemmy libs to be turned off

[-] robot_dog_with_gun@hexbear.net 35 points 2 weeks ago

nobody has a problem lionizing the adjuster.

lionizing luigi, the patsy who didn't do it, is problematic because of his reactionary social media posts.

[-] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 15 points 2 weeks ago

I'm just saying we need to give a little wellness check on my favorite insurance executives. What's wrong with it? /s shrug-outta-hecks

[-] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 19 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I obviously reposted from r/trueanon

[-] mattyroses@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 2 weeks ago

There's a TrueAnon sub on lemmygrad

[-] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 9 points 2 weeks ago

The reason the subreddit works but the comm doesn't is because most of the rest of reddit is shit. Nobody is on the subreddit to talk about the podcast.

what a terrible thing... I "definitely" hope the same "doesn't" happen to other ceos

[-] tombruzzo@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago

I remember listening to podcasts about this while driving my kids around to get them to sleep.

I wonder if we'll ever find out who did it?

[-] Melina_Feet_Pics@hexbear.net 11 points 2 weeks ago
[-] PearOfJudes@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 week ago

I remember watching mainstream news the day of the shooting bcz I was with my Grandma, (It made international mainstream news btw) and said "Well if you had to shoot someone"
