Why are we pretending like this isn't prudent on NYPD's part? If this weren't 2000 miles away I'd probably show up, if not to try and bust him out then at the very least to throw shit at the cops and yell. And if I'm considering driving a prius thru the fence to free the guy, I can only imagine what the non suburban-cishet-white-male-techie demographic is feeling about it.
Yeah, I assumed it wasn't too keep him under control, but because of the hero worship he's receiving.
Of course it still looks really bad on camera. This is one of those lose/lose situations where your best course of action still amplifies a message you probably don't want to amplify.
Absolutely. Turns out people still hate murderers, and like justice. Hence the love for luigi and why Derrick Murderer hasn't got crowds demanding his release...
Yeah no shit, crowds didn't gather around to ask for the release of the college killer.
^ this.
The media outreach of one person was huge and is a bigger risk to transfer than the other. Ill let you all figure out who is who
The shareholders demand blood and a show.
It's making a statement that if you go after the rich/CEOs - they'll throw every resource into finding you.
The lesson of the story seems to be to keep the fuck away from McDonalds.
I've started to doubt the McDonald's story - I don't see how anybody could have recognised him, based on the photos that were released. The FBI were given LM's name on the 5th (as someone who had been reported missing), and they arrested him on the 9th. My conspiracy theory is that I think they found him using means that they don't want us to know about, and sent a group of ex-cops to McDs, to loudly talk about him until they were overheard by an employee. So it could've happened anywhere, really.
Parallel construction for sure.
Well, Elon and Donald have taken care of the "salaried" thing now. But yes, they are showing him off like Hannibal Lector. They have treated worse people better, but they just killed "blacks", not CEOs.
They‘re just treating him like this because it is less common to kill a CEO than students or black people.
I hope nobody changes that, sincerely. I really hope that, from the bottom of my heart. If someone was to hunt CEOs for sport, that would be so awful! Oh dear lord I would not want to live in a world where poor innocent CEOs were hunted like dogs.
Hero needs to have his posse.
They're afraid he might 3D print an escape copter and break free...
might as well, if they're salaried they're getting paid either way.
And this way at least they're not shooting any black people or dogs!
They're treating him like he tried to blow up Gotham City when all he did was kill Lex Luthor.
Nah, more like one of Luthor's underlings. Andrew Witty would be more equivalent to Lex Luthor.
Maybe it is a distraction from strike breaking?
it's class warfare, that's what it is.
They kept us busy fighting culture wars post Occupy protests.
And we larped it too.
God willing the pedons got a clue what we are dealing with there.
Insurance is just the tip of the iceberg. All corpos behave like this.
They fuck us on labour side and then turn around and do the same on consumer end too.
Parasites got a good grift and most people can't even ID the enemy.
Warren buffet worship is prime example...
No, it's the maga, I mean the wokes, I mean the global warming deniers, I mean the alphabet people...
There really is no other interpretation. Who can look at this and possibly suggest that they are on our side?
It’s always worth the budget for this shot.
lol, there are actually fewer escorting Superman in a scene meant to be over the top.
My favorite part is when he stands up to talk to the mirrored glass the handcuffs just pop apart like they weren't even there in the first place. Four military soldiers in this picture for a man who could literally turn them into pink mist
VS the entourage NYPD gave Luigi. An unarmed man with a back injury. They really are scared.
They're weak. They don't like us realizing A, they can easily die no matter how much money they have even security can't always save you and B, the only thing that keeps us from killing them is this veil of society, a sense of doing wrong/getting in trouble with the law.
We always see what we want to see.
Not to mention one did their act in NYC and fled to suburban Pennsylvania while the other had to deal with police from a far more mundane environment. People who think the comparison can be used to paint police intentions (as if they're even a single body like some army of droids and not individuals who have free will to show up) are just sad, it would be like saying "the 1918 plague was not as widely reported or is as known as the smallpox plague, therefore it killed less or was less a priority". People are sadly disproportionate, that's just how things seem to have worked in history.
