    Please show me an example where the glorification of a murder of a homeless person has been publicly accepted?

        The case sparked national debate, with some hailing Penny as a hero for attempting to subdue a man he considered a menace to public safety and others seeing him as a white vigilante who choked a Black man to death.

        Some New Yorkers protested the trial outcome this week, holding signs and chanting Jordan Neely’s name in a Manhattan square.

        Penny has been hailed a hero by many, but Neely’s death also divided the city as residents grapple with how to respond to mental health crises threatening public safety.

        Do you people not read the shit you reference? Also, if you take this as an example and direct comparison, does that mean you think the murder of this guy was also justified? Does that mean you like the orange fascist?

            That’s some prime cherry picking. lmao Just ignore the outcry and the consequence of your statement behind it. Alright, I guess we just go around and murder everyone who we want to now. Seems like that’s what you all want.

              These aren’t mutually exclusive.

              Our western judicial system is helping to define a group of people for whom it is acceptable to murder and a group for whom it is not. If you want to kill a vagrant on a subway, you’re likely going to get away without serious consequences. If you kill a CEO, probably not.

                Oh? Where’s the demonstrations against Luigi & for the murdered CEO? You pulled this one to be a counterexample for Luigi’s case, but the reactions are clearly the opposite. There was a large public outcry in your example, only cronies like Trump commended it. With Luigi we have a somewhat large amount of public support, or at least a very loud one, and officials condone the act.

                You’re not just comparing apples with oranges, but you’re also arguing that it should be okay to murder both when you come to the defense of Luigi. Either you justify murder, or you don’t. You’re just playing the same dirty games that people like Trump play in order to justify that it is okay to murder certain people over others. Be better.

                  In every major newspaper and corporately financed podcast on the content. We are bombarded by Atlantic headlines and CBS News Updates with wailing anchors and op-ed writers denouncing Luigi from the top of their lungs.

                  You’re not just comparing apples with oranges

                  Of course not. Poor people and rich people are entirely different species of people.

                    That’s just the establishment telling you that murder is bad, which is not even wrong and a direct response to the people who glorify the murder. Maybe try to listen.

                    Of course not. Poor people and rich people are entirely different species of people.

                    And just like the other guy going the Hitler route of dehumanizing people. Please hear yourself talk.
