The owners think this would send a message.

I’m not sure they realize that message would be Martyr.

He looks kinda badass with so many cops and the freaking mayor behind him like they’re his entourage, or like he so dangerous that they need 30 men to control him.

I’d say this “perp walk” backfired.

It’s like if the cops captured the King Pin. Does it take 50 cops to escort 1 prisoner

I couldn’t be bothered to give a fuck about this man’s crime when the thing he killed was a mass murderer.

It’s funny that you talk about Mass murderers because when the alt right talks about Mass murderers that align with their skin colors it’s usually apologetic

They might have the same skin color, but to them they are the poors, aka inhuman.

I must admit I’m in my cups right now, but I feel like To the maga proletariat, I don’t even think they go as deep as that. To them it’s more like in group out group thinking, which means you don’t look like me or talk like me so fuck you

The victim doesn’t matter unless they are worth millions of dollars or stand to help others win or loss millions.

When you think about it … the system isn’t protecting people, whether they are rich or not … the system is just thinking about protecting wealth and capital.

The system protects the flow of tax dollars.

Because that’s what it consumes to survive.

Then why do billionaires and corporations get so many tax breaks and subsidies while also getting the most protection and favorable legislation?

Well, as long as you mean the flow of tax dollars coming from the poor and middle class. The system specifically protects the corporations and wealthy from paying their share of tax dollars

I dunno, he may be free—but he’s not doing too much enrichment. No one wants anything to do with him because he’s an idiot, and not the useful kind.

They want to send a message: violence against those in the oligarchic hierarchy will not be tolerated.

They ain’t seen nothing yet if they make this dude a martyr. I’m not a violent person, but there’s a pent up frustration inside a lot of us just itching for a reason to come out and redistribute some wealth. Stock of United Healthcare still in the shitter? That was rich people losing billions.

That’s the only thing these parasites care about: their life and their money. We have been shown that any of us have the power to take away both in a single act of targeted violence. Once we collectively realize that, shit will go down.
