To be fair , only one of them is under united states juristiction

[–] copd@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

He hasnt been convicted of being a terrorist, don't jump the... gun

[–] bruhduh@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

That's right, remember everyone, jury nullification

If Brian Thompson had been a black man on the subway, Luigi Mangione would be a right-wing celebrity right now.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world -5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He still is a right wing celebrity, but for the outlaw country set. He bagged himself a rich man north of Richmond!

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

He bagged himself a rich man north of Richmond!

Excited to hear his name included in the remix.

I have yet to see mass adoption of "Luigi is a terrorist" amongst the US population. In fact, quite the opposite.

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 7 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

The real hero is....WTF. How come we don't provide Luigi with billions in armament to see if he can take down the healthcare monopoly?

The war against high healthcare cost. Sounds reasonable to me. Like the first retaliation strike against Palestine seemed reasonable to me. But then Nathan Yahoo kept going and by the third day I was like dude WTF! But what did we do? We kept helping! WTF again! Then it was kids getting followed by drones and blown up to pieces. WTF!

Now Luigi comes along and fights against something that actually makes a difference for us the regular people and he gets to become the incarcerated person? The criminal? This is wrong. I hope Trump pardons Luigi. If not because Trump wants to do the opposite of what Democrats do, then maybe because the syphilis is eating his remaining brain cells. If he did, he would probably win the public like no one has ever bigly won the public ever before by gerrymandering the fuck out of every county. It's a great middle finger to be given where I would care that it happened.

[–] uberfreeza@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Not likely. In an interview, Trump said people supporting Luigi is a "sickness." Which makes sense, because he's entirely disconnected from reality.

[–] Euphorazine@lemmy.world 52 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (4 children)

Yes, but the legal system does not act on the whims of mass adoption. It's like that mom in Florida who got slapped with terrorism charges for telling blue cross blue shield the deny, defend, depose line over the phone. The harsh crimes are there to chill anyone who might step out of line.

I feel like we, as a society, should agree on a set of rules and laws, that we adhere to in order to ensure acceptable conduct and behavior.

[–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 5 points 19 hours ago

Almost like a contract of sorts, one that is socially acceptable..

Locke and Rousseau want to know your location

iirc she didnt get terrorism charges, but she did get charged with some bullshit

[–] pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online -3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You're omitting the part where she said, "You people are next." That makes it a terroristic threat.

[–] xenomor@lemmy.world 0 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

Peasant brain mentality.

If she said, “I’m going to come kill you.” That would be a threat. Her saying, “actions like what you are doing have gotten people like you killed” or even “you deserve to be killed” are just observations, warnings at most, but not threats.

You seem to forget that mass shootings are an almost daily occurrence in this country.

Quoting an assassin, then telling a call center worker that they'll all be next should only ever be taken as a threat.

If she had said, "Your company's actions might cause someone to commit further violence," this wouldn't have been news, but there is no reality where her statement alone should be taken as just an observation.

She intended to make the person on the other end of the line and the people they work with afraid, and that's a crime.

Those people probably didn't even directly work for UHC, so it's not even like she was telling anyone who could remotely do anything about it.

[–] Euphorazine@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

"You people are next" is a threat based on your own position of power. A politician saying that, yeah that's a threat. Some random person saying it someone else, not so much.

If someone has a recording of an ex saying that to them over the phone, the best you're getting is a restraining order, if you get anything at all.

Maybe if she said "I'm coming for you next", then that would have more weight. But now we're in hypothetical land, so who cares.

[–] krimsonbun@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 23 hours ago

Obviously a random person is a threat, considering recent events.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I have a feeling that Luigi, a working class hero, won't be going to McDonald's ever again lol

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 3 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Some might not consider him working class.

But yeah, unless they start having McDonald’s at the commissary (which now that I think about it, is not outside the realm of possibility) he probably won’t be eating at any restaurant ever again.

He should have gone to a no extradition country. Not Pennsylvania.

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 9 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (1 children)

Does that title really require someone to be FROM the working class? I always thought it was more about who they fought for.

Take Che Guevara, for instance — the guy was from an upper class family who could afford to send him to med school. So was Marx, whose father was lawyer with a comfortable income who could afford to have all of 9 children (though not all of them survived). And John Lennon, who wrote the song that inspired the meme, had already had an enormously successful musical career and was quite likely a multi millionaire by that point.

Also, Bernie Sanders is a millionaire as well but still widely considered a hero by the working class because that’s who he fights for.

Point is, my understanding is that “working class hero” isn’t so much about the class membership of the hero themselves, but it’s simply whomever the working class considers a hero. That can of course include members of the working class as well (say, firefighters who risk their lives saving others, for example).
