The only thing that’s alarming is that congress hasn’t nationalized private healthcare companies in response to this.
These acts of defense will surely surely continue until their mass murder is put to an end.
It’s upsetting to CEOs to know that we see them, the same way as they see us. Expendable. Very tragic, thoughts and prayers.
Good. Be alarmed.
Yes, it is alarming. But it’s a symptom of the problem, not the actual problem.
Brian Thompson is a mass murderer. Luigi only killed one person therefore possibly saving many more lives. And they want us to think Luigi is the bad guy?
What’s alarming is people have been pushed to the point where they would consider Luigi’s actions justified.
A good start
I hope they have nightmares about guillotines
Why do they keep framing him as a father as if that should make us feel empathy?
Osama bin Laden was a father to 23 fucking kids.
Even Trump and Musk have kids - doesn’t make either one less of a dirt bag.
Unconscious pronatalist bias.
People don’t talk about it much, but there’s an unconscious tendency to give more sympathy to parents. There’s a million reasons why this happens but I’m not gonna go there.
The media is pretty heavy handed with this manipulation because it usually works. Any article about a murdered woman mentions if she’s a mother, and if not it’s “she didn’t get to have kids yet.” It gets lots of clicks.
That CEO is so disgusting that they can’t even activate people’s unconscious biases and the media is panicking because they’ve lost control. It’s kinda impressive and funny tbh.
Side note - I’m not an antinatalist or anything, I’m just a philosophy/sociology nerd.
The fucking asshoke fucked over and denied care to fucking children with cancer.
He also fucked over who knows how many other people, many of whom were also parents.
The all had family. And he fucked then all over without a single moment of regret.
His kids get to inherit his blood money. So fuck them too.
“Are we the baddies?” is for sure an extraordinarily alarming moment of clarity
lol. lmao, even.
so it’s very alarming, but not so much as to even mention the underlying reason for the rhetoric
On top of killing people as his day job, Brian Thompson was also convicted of drunk driving, insider trading, and fraud.

Thompson was a rich 3 time loser felon so why was he walking the streets at all? He could have been safe in jail if the justice department did their jobs. That includes you Mayorkas, so thats enough with your complaints.
Jesus if that guy cheated on his wives a few more times we would have had to worry about people wanting him for president
I feel like, if nothing else, Luigi chose his target extraordinarily well. Other than being a father, which just about anyone with testicles can do, Thompson doesn’t seem to have done one redeeming thing.
Well don’t forget that he came from the middle class and so intimately knew their struggles and turned his back on them and became a class traitor.
I mean… hold on let me put on my capitalism glasses… “he achieved the American dream”
It’s only redeeming if he was a good father. Otherwise, he was a sperm donor.
Well as he was separated and not living with his wife and kids, I suspect he likely wasn’t a great partner/father either.
Oh look it’s scared! Yay! LA REVOLUTION!
so fucking learn something from it
Mayorkas said […] that he’s “alarmed” by the “heroism that is being attributed to an alleged murderer of a father of two children on the streets in New York City,”
Luigi is a hero. Brian Thompson got what he deserved, and his children are better off without him.
he noted that “that’s the actions of an individual, not reflective of the American public and of the democracy in which we live.”
I guess we’ll just need some more examples. Seems to be comming back into fashion.
Imagine what life lessons his children learned from him.
Not reflective? Then why the fuck are you so concerned?
his children are better off without him.
That’s certainly not true. You don’t have to dehumanize someone you see as your enemy.
I recently watched 1917, and ::: spoiler spoilers I’m proud of the way the plane was handled. One can see the necessity of war without dehumanizing the other side. :::
I’m sorry for his kids. I’m sorry for his family. I can continue to hope for a better way.
We’ve been through this history enough times. I, for one, would rather not repeat it. If this is the way things are gonna go, it’s going to get a hell of a lot worse before it gets better.
Dude had no qualms about dehumanizing the people he stole money from and didn’t give life saving treatment to. Just because he could do it from the cover of corporate mandates doesn’t make it any less evil.
It depends. It appears he wasn’t really in the picture and has a history of being a piece of shit. Who’s to say that his kids aren’t better off without him, and honestly, probably heavily enriched by his demise?
Losing a father isn’t always a bad thing.
