What is going on with Luigi Mangione?
(lemmy.zip)
This story seems to have faded in the wake of events ad nauseam. We are all aware of Senor Luigi. However, most folks can’t recall the full name of the guy that allegedly Luigi gunned down. Mission accomplished.
The media understands that giving him any exposure will make people think about his motives, and might generate similar acts from others. The best strategy to keep people from “looking up” instead of looking left/right is to not expose anyone to the idea.
With that strategy, it makes you wonder why they relentlessly cover school shootings. (It could also be that they keep happening, and it's actually different every time)
Speaking of media coverage, notice how when an AR-15 is used they always state so, usually in the headline. A shooting with any other gun? Nah.
Remember the vet who went nuts in Maine and murdered a bunch of people? I had to dig to find what weapon he used. It was an AR-10. Know what an AR-10 is? Most folks have never heard of one. (It's basically an AR-15.)
Now why in the world would our billionaire media owners want to turn our opinion against the best multipurpose rifle in the world?
Anyway, what was the original post about?
Oh buddy, hold on! You're about to get nuked for saying something positive about guns!
Edit: FWIW I agree entirely!
