It’s a happy man
I never thought Timotheé Chalamet could be so based.
The thing is Stephen King recently told a story in Billy Summers about how a triggerman fades into the woodwork after a pro hit. And King is someone who only does a bit of research (contrast someone like Chuck Palahniuk).
So yeah, someone who is not quite dressed like the guy getting caught on camera and then held up by police as a suspect sounds like the police being lazy.
It’s a hired killer. Follow the fucking money.
Whoever it was, I wanna know if they’re available to visit Putin. I would totally help crowdfund that.
You and several nations full of people, friend.
Is this what a saint looks like?
It’s what a random guy with a coat looks like
A different coat than the one the shooter wore during the act

Ah, yes, pre-meditated murder is ok with you.
Like pouring salt on a leech.
That’s not fair to leeches. They’re just trying to survive.
leeches also have a useful medical purpose, which is a pretty major distinction.
How many people have insurance executives sent to an early grave?
It wasn’t murder, it was an assassination… Of a leader of a company that has delayed the care of millions for paper power. What is one life to many?
This man is an agent of justice. The murderer is dead.
In this case I’m ok with it
Self defense tbh, but on a societal level
Totally not the same guy
Trolly problem. Pre-meditated murder is justified when it stops premeditated murders
Even less morally complicated, because you aren’t even killing an innocent person
Your right denying you fellow country men life saving medical treatment is pre-meditated murder.
Why do you hate millions of Americans
Ah, yes, zero consequences for building a business off the suffering and death of hundreds of thousands is ok with you.
Surely, surely there’s a middle ground right?
They keep moving the bar every time we find middle ground. What do you expect?
Sure, you find it. We’ve had plenty of the zero consequences, so we’re going to putter around in the deleting millionaires and billionaires for a while trying to find that middle ground.
Life in prison? But seeing as the system is set up to reward not punish these monsters I’m not seeing a lot of options
This reminds me of the JFK quote “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.”
It doesn’t seem like a middle ground is possible because those at the top make justice impossible.
Also, other relevant quotes:
When a man is denied the right to live the life he believes in, he has no choice but to become an outlaw.
— Nelson Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom (1994).If the oppressor uses violence, the oppressed have no alternative but to respond violently. In our case it was simply a legitimate form of self-defense.
— Nelson Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom (1994).We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere.
— Elie Wiesel, Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech (1986)“Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.”
We can’t afford to be neutral on a moving train.
Now playing Deer Dance by System of a Down
No there is no middle ground because the wack jobs have moved their side so far from where it should be that ‘middle ground’ is still deep in their fantasy land.
People have had enough. This is just starting.
The middle ground is far behind us.
Political action is the middle ground. Guess who makes that impossible?
One dead is the middle ground
His wife said on the news he “enjoyed life.” That claim, however, has been denied.
Sometimes the only way to deal with a murderer is to murder the murderer.
In a better society this wouldn’t be the case, but in a society like ours this is the only way someone like a health insurance ceo will see justice for the horrors he inflicts on people.
Most people are ok with this yes.
We aren’t talking about the the deceased, but about the one who killed the murderer who benefited from the suffering of others.
In this case I’m not upset. How many deaths, bankruptcies, and lives ruined are these ghouls responsible for? Save your outrage for them. Just because their crimes are less dramatic doesn’t make them less meaningful
An angel
Damn looks young. Godspeed you mad bastard.
Looks handsome. I hope we never learn his name.
When your work speaks for you like this, the name is a red herring.
Jake Gyllenhaal?
Donnie Darko would approve
This man needs a statue and full presidential pardon NOW
Joe can add him to his streak.
Pardon requires a conviction first.
Richard Nixon.
No, it doesn’t. It doesn’t even require an accusation first.
This is my understanding too. I just read in the news the last couple of days that Biden was considering handing out preemptive pardons to people like Liz Cheney, etc.
Joe biden is no where near cool enough to do this.
Just tell him it’s one of his son’s good friends. He won’t know the difference.
Eh… probably not even the guy.
They’re just mad he (or she, we cant be sure) got away and are scrambling to find a scapegoat.
Did they say it was the guy? I thought they were saying he was staying with other people at the hostel and this was someone they wanted to talk to, presumably one of the roommates, but idfk
They’re just mad
he (or she, we cant be sure)they got awayYES
Photos of this guy are with a bookbag with black straps. The guy with the bookbag with white straps in the shooting video has a completely different jacket and thin eyebrows vs this guys big bushy ones.
Thisnis the assumption we should all go on, for two reaeons: (1) We don’t want to enable the potential persecution or reprisals for an innocent person, and (2) Who actually wants them to catch the guy anyway?
The criminal was already caught. And executed. Problem solved.
Won’t the nearest black person do? Oh yeah, the high definition cameras.
I bet the boys in blue long for the good old days…
Yes, killing a man in cold blood by gunning him down in the street.
What a joyous occasion.
man
Lizard.
Depends on the man, I suppose
Not really.
Well, maybe Vladimir Putin, but he’s literally a war criminal.
Tomato / toh-mah-toe.
They are both bad people who got to where they’re at by exploiting people in one way or the other.
Aside of their nationality, how would you consider them different?
So we agree there are candidates, we just need to negotiate on where the line is.
Denying life saving medical care seems like a good enough place to start
So we’ve established that there are some people you’d be happy to see gunned down, we’re now just quibbling over who qualifies.
I wasn’t being serious. Someone like Putin should be in jail.
I don’t support the death penalty.
Indeed, having some disconnected powerful authority figure handing out decisions on who should live and who should die is a pretty repulsive concept.
Yeah, if anyone should be shot, it would be that kind of person of course.
Disagree there. The world would benefit from a good number of people being unceremoniously air dropped over point nemo.
Good for you, Bono. This fucker had it coming no matter how you slice it.
I applaud your moral high ground stance, but it’s worth saying there’s no court that can punish a man like that. They are above the law.
What’s your idealist’s heart say about what to do about people like that when the system that’s supposed to protect us from them is completely and utterly broken?

I’ve heard this rumor already but haven’t seen a source on it. Thank you
tolerance should not be considered a virtue or moral principle, but rather an unspoken agreement within society to tolerate one another’s differences as long as no harm to others arises from same. In this formulation, one being intolerant is violating the contract, and therefore is no longer protected by it against the rest of society.

Society is deteriorating this is what it looks like…
When CEO cheers at his pay check after denying claims of sick people WHO PAID FOR THIS SERVICE, do you ever find yourself saying:
Yes, killing a man in cold blood by gunning him down in the street. What a joyous occasion.
Now think about it… why not?
It’s not a good place for society to be, I quite agree. Yet here we are.
There are probably ways we could change things so that vigilantes gunning down health insurance CEOs isn’t considered a reasonable option.
We would need a lot more philanthropic billionaires for that to happen.
Actually the more I think of those two words together the more it seems like an oxymoron.
If you gave a fuck about people you wouldn’t underpay them enough to earn a billion dollars off their labour.
They won’t and we have no voice.
And so, as I said, here we are. In a place where vigilantes gunning down health insurance CEOs is considered reasonable.
Meh, I don’t feel bad if someone lynched hitler
Edit: Not to say the CEO was as bad as hitler, just to demonstrate the point.
There’s always unknown consequences.
I keep having to go back to the French Revolution- eventually they were executing hundreds of people per day. I’m sure all of them were guilty and deserved Capital Punishment.
Even Robespierre was executed, and the whole thing blamed on him, though he was adamantly against these executions.
We’ll never know what would’ve become of France if a different approach had been taken rather than just start lopping off heads.
Ah yes, the French Revolution …
THERE were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror … A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.

France seems pretty chill today, actually. Relaxed people that aren’t afraid to unify and protest when they feel the government isn’t on their side.
The appeal of Le Pen to them is worrisome but humanity as a whole seems susceptible to right-wing populism, unfortunately.
Well, you see, the blood was warm when it was spilled. Unfortunately, because the customer was in the 3rd tier SuperSavings Freedom Unlimited* HSA Semi-Preferred SelectChoice Healthcare plan, all claims require a 24-hour waiting period after symptoms erupt to allow rebuttal from the primary physician. The blood was only cold after the grace period elapsed.
*Limited
It is for every person denied healthcare by UHC, and to a smaller extent anyone who’s ever dealt with an insurance company in general

I feel like that too, when I think about it.
Call every tipline and report the person responsible for this death and many others - That person’s name was Brian Thompson.
Joe biden is also an acceptable option with his active support for genocide
You’re getting downvoted but it’s true, let’s also not forget that our current moderate Democrats, like the Republicans, like our current healthcare system.
I’m not deleting my comment because I stand by it 100 percent. Joe bidens running away from giving weapons to israel the same way horror movie protagonist run away from the serial killer and yet people act like he’s trying really hard and doesn’t fully support what’s going on. Liberal delusions will never cease to disgust me.
“I got tired of marginally increasing the status quo, so I let orange Hitler take power”
Also, just fuck off outta here.
Maybe grow up just a tad.
‘Well you see here I’m a mature real politik sort of guy so I accept genocide because thats the mature thing to do. Those woke kids just don’t get it because they’re not mature like me.’
This is not the devastating argument that you think it is.
Support Israel = Terrorists die with a lot of civilian casualties mixed in thanks to human shield tactics.
Don’t support Israel = Jews get exterminated down to the last man because all of the Arabic countries bordering them openly vow to never stop killing until they’re all gone.
Hmm I wonder why Israel gets support??
Ok dude I’m sick of the “Genocide Joe” sycophants cropping up in unrelated threads all over Lemmy too, but if you’re gonna argue with them, at least try to make some sense.
Don’t support Israel = Jews get exterminated down to the last man because all of the Arabic countries bordering them openly vow to never stop killing until they’re all gone.
Do uh… Do you think every single Jew in existence lives in Israel?
Nobody ever mentioned the Jewish religion but you. Really showing your hand there.
Don’t support Israel = Jews get exterminated down to the last man because all of the Arabic countries bordering them openly vow to never stop killing until they’re all gone.
In light what Israel has done, nobody will care when it happens… and some people will react similarly to how working class has reacted about this “CEO” being denied a claim to life lol
Everyone’s finally getting along and you feel the need to come in and go “bUt WhAt aBouT bIdeN?”. Why?

He goes by Deez Nuts.
Holy shit that’s Dee? I think I went to school with him back at Ligma University
I met his gf Candice once

Haha, he looks like a young version of my partner. He’s hot and this makes me realise I definitely have a type.
