    Someone else mentioned a watch list to me. Who’s list would you be on, and who would have access to it?

      I think it’s just assumed that government authorities are taking the info of people who make public statements of support for Mangione and putting them under increased scrutiny.

        We do have a really arbitrary no fly list people end up on sometimes without knowing the reason at all.

          No, like everybody willing to pass their name through the prison’s mail system.

        Eh. If you’re on your death bed and haven’t been on at least one watch list, can you really be said to have lived at all?

      I’ve assumed that since bush 2 anything anti capitalist, anti imperialist, anti fascist puts you on a list. What list? Who knows.

      With the advance of technology these days I think the “list” is more plausible than ever.

      And then you know, snowdens leaks pretty much stated that the NSA is spying domestically without warrants.

        It’s more likely that the idea of a “watch list” is obsolete at this point. Now they create elaborate records and psychological profiles of every person they can, domestically or abroad. They also likely track everyone’s physical location as close to real time as possible.

        Maybe that’s how they actually caught Luigi. They caught him because they know everyone’s physical location at all time. They just had to rewind the clock back a bit, see who was standing near Thompson at the moment of the shooting, and they instantly knew it was him.

          Yeah “the list” is now likely an in depth dossier about every single thing you’ve ever posted, who your friends and family are, what your vices are, where you frequently travel to, etc.
