Here's a guy who killed two prominent people, shot two more, and a rescue dog.

I hope they at least give him the Luigi treatment.

I hope they at least give him the Luigi treatment.

Luigi, or whoever actually did it, had the decency not to harm anyone's family or pets. This motherfucker deserves far worse.

Luigi actually saved lives though. The assassination of Brian Thompson was a stated symbolic protest against insurance practices that deny life‑saving care intended to spotlight and stop those denials. His act sparked intense public outrage media attention regulatory scrutiny and investor backlash which pressured UnitedHealth to soften its claim‑denial practices and approve more life‑saving care. That shift led to higher costs. Lower profits triggered the largest one‑day stock drop in 25 years and prompted a class‑action lawsuit by investors.

Luigi set out to right actual wrong and literally saved lives in the process

It's simpler than that. Someone (not Luigi) stopped a Corporate Serial Killer that was responsible for the deaths and suffering of millions of people in the past, and millions in the future. Whoever killed him acted in defense of others, and is not guilty of murder. He should get a medal.

I agree. But on the other hand, it seems like they've gone above and beyond "normal" in their approach to Luigi. I wanna see this MAGAt perp-walked in full shackles like they did Luigi.

Accompanied by the full Praetorian Guard.

There's only one way that happens

Trump will pardon him 100% if he gets a federal charge.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Luigi is a paradox. He didn't do the crime, but he is a hero for it anyway.

He didn’t do the crime, but he is ~~a hero~~ going to be martyred for it anyway.

FTFY. His heroism isn’t due to the fact that he did it; It’s due to the fact that he’s obviously being railroaded, and has decided to fight like hell instead of simply accepting it.

I fully expect the GOP to give make him a talk show host on Fox.

He should have to clean every bathroom in the New York City subway system.

With a cotton swab.

With his tongue. After all, he'll lick HitlerPig's and Homan's boots.

I read this story hours ago and it's stuck with me all day. It's one thing to be mad at those you feel wronged you; harming an innocent (human or animal) is so despicable it's inexcusable. I bet that Golden was among the purest best boys on Earth (they all are).

It's a good thing I'm not in charge of this pos' confinement, otherwise he might accidentally find me busy tying my shoe while he's breaking his neck and dying a slow, excrutiiatingly painful death.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Send him to Mississippi and execute him with CO2. He deserves that terror for shooting a golden.

Toe first into a scream-activated meat grider, IMO
