Normally I don't advocate the death penalty.

Of course he did, he's a Republican psychopath. They don't understand why people have pets.

Only a madman shoots a dog. I don't think that this guy has even been charged yet?

Barbie dog killer at it again.

[–] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 233 points 2 days ago (13 children)

Republicans sure love shooting dogs. I thought Trump would just pardon the guy. Now I think he'll nominated him to a cabinet position too.

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 37 points 1 day ago

Republicans are the pro-murdering-dogs party.

Guess he was really leaning into the whole "impersonating a police officer" thing.

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.

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 86 points 1 day ago (7 children)

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.

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

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

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day 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.

[–] meco03211@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

Accompanied by the full Praetorian Guard.

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

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.

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

[–] Eggyhead@lemmings.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I’ve heard he was a big Trump fan and now I see he’s a maga madman, at what point was his political alignment ascertained? Does someone have an article they could point me to? Particularly one from a source that couldn’t be easily construed as biased if I were to share with a right winger?

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 day ago

https://www.fox9.com/news/minnesota-lawmaker-bca-shooting-suspects-list-lawmakers-not-manifesto

Fox News link that shows he only targeted democrats and quotes a Trump appointee calling it a political assassination

[–] Triasha@lemmy.world 33 points 1 day ago

Madman? He knew exactly what he was doing. He's a maga murderer.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 38 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Just trying yo sell the cop disguise.

[–] danekrae@lemmy.world 65 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (8 children)

Has the white house made any statements about the murder yet?

[–] blazeknave@lemmy.world 77 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 52 points 2 days ago (5 children)

It's so fucking infuriating...

The guy apparently had some no kings fliers so they're sticking to that and saying he was a "Marxist that was mad the Democrats aren't voting the way he wants"

...so... Democrats are simultaneously Marxist leftist all the time, and not Marxists so this guy needs to kill them... Right...

[–] blazeknave@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

Like the antifa j6 rioters... Just stop trying before you hurt your brain. Watching them talk about he's a political appointee of the DNC bc he volunteers for some kind of outreach org or something? I caught a fox news clip, swallowed my vomit, and turned it off before I could hear more of their bullshit.

[–] crusa187@lemmy.ml 23 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Bro look at the flyers the cops totally found in this dude’s vehicle. Completely legit, not planted by the police flyers. Yup.

[–] blazeknave@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago
[–] bloup@lemmy.sdf.org 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think it’s possible that the flyers were not planted. I don’t really know why it never crosses anyone’s mind that maybe he just stole a bunch of these flyers because he wanted to limit people‘s awareness of the protest.

[–] blazeknave@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

Good call. Possible for sure

MAGAts attack all that is good in the world.

[–] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

I sincerely hope the hell he rots in is an eternal version of whatever his cowardice created that influenced him to do this. He deserves to live in eternal fear.
