    Yes it is. So what. The rich glorifies violence against the poor.

    The leader of the country once said: “When the looting starts, the shooting starts”

    So if its apparantly okay to use violence against alledged thieves (which is not okay btw, stealing should never equate a death sentence), then it must be okay to use violence against mass murderer CEOs.

    “When the denying starts, the deposing starts” would be my rebuttal to that phase the ex-president said. Violence begets violence.

      most CEOs don’t murder, even the health insurance ones simply are committing theft analogs, simply not funding healthcare, not preventing those than can independently afford it from accessing it.

      The reason violence against “looters” is permitted stems from their violation of the principles of the American caste system

      Contrary to popular belief, you are not allowed to pull yourself up by your own bootstraps. You are only allowed to help yourself when you’ve received lending permission from a state recognized philanthropic sponsor. Otherwise, you are supposed to quietly drown in your own filth, where it isn’t inconvenient for anyone higher on the totem pole than you.

      The caste system is sacred. Brian Thompson earned his position. Luigi Mangione deserved his miserable fate.

        I like that you put “looters” in quotes. After hurricane Katrina, the news would show “looters” and “people trying to survive,” taking food items from grocery stores. I wonder what the difference was?

        the difference

        Skin hue

        Yes, people were also taking electronics, but for food?

          I believe there were a number of people accused of robbing stories when they were actually evacuating them from rising floodwaters. But, again, that boiled down to skin tone.

      You get points for honesty, at least. Most people in here don’t even admit this is a call for violence.

      That was some fascist cop in Miami in the 60’s. Not the leader of any country.
