The current president has already set a precedent that politically motivated violence is a valid form of protest and free speech that doesn't warrant prosecution. Up until that the precedents were much different.

    Yeah but the current president means politically motivated violence perpetuated against the left is only valid. Violence towards the right, and him especially, is considered treason and subject to ICE detention.

    Except everybody hates health insurance execs. It’s like the one thing we can all agree on.

    Why limit yourself to "health insurance" execs?

    They are among the most egregious execs, but the capitalist rot has infected the entire system, not just one industry.

    Right wing voters still want to suck corporate dick, it's just that health insurance also screws them over in such an obvious way that they get a momentary, and very limited, flash of understanding. And so far nobody seems to have figured out a narrative of how to blame it on the left.

    She's on MeidasTouch sometimes, she was an original talking head witht them from the start, always enjoyed her takes. Her ads she had to do were always funny too, feels like she's sort of in on the joke about the absurdity of a lawyer hawking a random product but its all good, clean, lawyerly fun 99% of the time plus a day

    Luigi isn’t the killer, he is just the fall guy.

    He might be a government assassin, or a corporate assassin. We do live in an oligarchy so these billionaires control the courts.

    He appears in court wearing the same outfit as other assassins.

    This shits a movie bro.

    He isn’t going to prison. He will get a diddy prosecutor and crooked judge.

    Biggest hole in my theory? Why was he allowed to be caught.

    why was he allowed to be caught?

    I think you answered you own question there. If you think that's the biggest hole in your theory about a hired government assassin, crooked judges and a diddy prosecutor who's arguing for the death penalty, then I don't think you've thought through your theory that much.

    This conspiracy theory is so fascinating to me because it gets more and more elaborate as time goes on. At first it was "Luigi was framed because they needed a culprit fast" now it's this giant spy movie plot. This is nearing QAnon levels of stupidity. Why is it so hard to believe someone just got driven crazy by the sheer absurdity and cruelty of our medical system and finally snapped and shot someone? Why does it have to be this massive plot involving corporate assassins and shit? Is it just because the pictures of the suspect were grainy and at a weird angle so they don't look exactly like other pictures of Luigi, and everything else is to explain why he was arrested and why his lawyers haven't used this stuff in his defense?

    I think the biggest issue is this guy was smart enough to not show his face, have preset places to swap bags/etc., yet gets caught with the gun and other identifying things on him multiple days later.

    It all just seems so weird.

    Also, Im probably not caught up on everything, but without the evidence they found on him there isn't even really a case.

    This article about tracking people using WiFi caught my eye. And Apple somehow enabled facial recognition while wearing a mask during Covid. I’m sure the various national security agencies already have access to countless similar technologies that we won’t know about for a least a decade.

    I just don’t think it’s all that far fetched to believe they just tracked this guy across multiple states. Maybe they did plant the evidence, that’s something cops have been doing for many years.

    these billionaires control the courts.

    Technically that's a plutocracy.

    Anyone have the legit fundraiser link?

    Please just message me with it... It's probably "against the rules" to publicize it.

    “You must be new around these parts.” There is no higher form of American free speech than the all holy dollar. Most Americans don’t even question that logic.
