The current president has already set a precedent that politically motivated violence is a valid form of protest and free speech that doesn't warrant prosecution. Up until that the precedents were much different.

Yeah but the current president means politically motivated violence perpetuated against the left is only valid. Violence towards the right, and him especially, is considered treason and subject to ICE detention.

Except everybody hates health insurance execs. It’s like the one thing we can all agree on.

Why limit yourself to "health insurance" execs?

They are among the most egregious execs, but the capitalist rot has infected the entire system, not just one industry.

13

Right wing voters still want to suck corporate dick, it's just that health insurance also screws them over in such an obvious way that they get a momentary, and very limited, flash of understanding. And so far nobody seems to have figured out a narrative of how to blame it on the left.

Well he considers both types of violence speech, it's just you only have free speech to agree with him

Sure, but only if you let him stack the cards against you. Why should you honor someone who doesn't even honor your law?

Whatever happened to Hillary Clinton’s basement pizza pedophiles? Where’s the CNN FOX NEWS update on that? Remember there were all these tunnels? Where they were raping children?

Whatever happened to Hillary Clinton’s basement pizza pedophiles?

Whats interesting is when either american party find the other doing something they themselves r involved in, silence. They'll bitch, complain and cry about everything but what acc matters, but when it's corruption on an unprecedented scale, paedophilia or literally anything else they cry about Mexicans being to blame for Hunter Biden's crack addiction. Makes you think 🤔 It's so obvious both parties are the same establishment, the washington establishment. 'Drain the swamp' my arse, you ARE the swamp.

Apparently the whole pizza thing didn't really have enough evidence to hold any real weight but you can't really expect much better from a woman married to a paedo drug kingpin.

Hunter Biden wasn't an elected official. Also, the DNC pushed out Al Franklin over his "scandal", although that was probably just a pretense.

Hunter's daddy pardoned him whilst locking up record numbers of minorities. Idk what the DNC is but sure man. Point is the United Slaves of Israel's a 2-party pseudo-democratic state in which no matter who u vote for, the same people stay in power. The politicians are js the puppets, and I'm not even js talking abt Israel, I'm talking abt broadly Washington as a whole.

I'm not american bro, no need to assume everyone is mate. Some of you lot seem to believe everyone is for some reason. I bet you couldn't tell me putin or netanyahu's ministers of defence off the dome or literally anything abt their political systems, yet I guarantee you'd still be inclined to having your own opinion on both of their dictatorships just like I do Trump's.

The same people inclined to butt their heads into literally everything that's not their business internationally seem to get very offended when someone who's not american says anything abt the shitshow happening in their own country.

He's the only one that actually did something, unlike the people crying about Trump on social media.

If he runs for president they should drop the charges because that would make the trial political persecution.

Murder is only cute when republicans do it. It’s less adorable and downright dangerous when someone with a name like “Mangione” does it.

Luigi isn’t the killer, he is just the fall guy.

He might be a government assassin, or a corporate assassin. We do live in an oligarchy so these billionaires control the courts.

He appears in court wearing the same outfit as other assassins.

This shits a movie bro.

He isn’t going to prison. He will get a diddy prosecutor and crooked judge.

Biggest hole in my theory? Why was he allowed to be caught.

why was he allowed to be caught?

I think you answered you own question there. If you think that's the biggest hole in your theory about a hired government assassin, crooked judges and a diddy prosecutor who's arguing for the death penalty, then I don't think you've thought through your theory that much.

This conspiracy theory is so fascinating to me because it gets more and more elaborate as time goes on. At first it was "Luigi was framed because they needed a culprit fast" now it's this giant spy movie plot. This is nearing QAnon levels of stupidity. Why is it so hard to believe someone just got driven crazy by the sheer absurdity and cruelty of our medical system and finally snapped and shot someone? Why does it have to be this massive plot involving corporate assassins and shit? Is it just because the pictures of the suspect were grainy and at a weird angle so they don't look exactly like other pictures of Luigi, and everything else is to explain why he was arrested and why his lawyers haven't used this stuff in his defense?

I think the biggest issue is this guy was smart enough to not show his face, have preset places to swap bags/etc., yet gets caught with the gun and other identifying things on him multiple days later.

It all just seems so weird.

Also, Im probably not caught up on everything, but without the evidence they found on him there isn't even really a case.

This article about tracking people using WiFi caught my eye. And Apple somehow enabled facial recognition while wearing a mask during Covid. I’m sure the various national security agencies already have access to countless similar technologies that we won’t know about for a least a decade.

I just don’t think it’s all that far fetched to believe they just tracked this guy across multiple states. Maybe they did plant the evidence, that’s something cops have been doing for many years.

11

Apple didn’t enable facial recognition with a mask during COVID.

At first it didn’t work with a mask, then they changed it so that it went to the passcode screen.

Next they allowed it to unlock if you had a mask on and Apple Watch.

Finally they reworked FaceId to allow unlocking with a mask by making it focus more on the parts of the face it could see, although this was less secure and a compromise for convenience.

lemmy.world

You must know something Apple doesn’t.

“If you're wearing a face mask or potentially other face coverings, Face ID with a mask can analyze the unique characteristics around your eyes. When using Face ID with a mask, you can still use Face ID to authenticate apps, unlock your iPhone, and use Apple Pay.”

I don’t think personal device security would be an issue when illegally tracking a fugitive…

While there are a lot of crazy ways to identify someone, most of those only work in ideal or repeated situations.

For example Iphones faceid requires special cameras and for you to scan your face with the cameras before it can work.

Its obvious from the videos and photos of the incident that there isn't quality footage of the events, meaning the quality of any tracking software is greatly degraded (otherwise we could solve all crimes). Since all tracking/identification software works on probabilities, that's not a strong case to make that you've ID the right person.

2

Maybe the iPhone thing is a bad example, but I do think there are probably spy satellites up there that could count the hairs on your head if they wanted to. I’m not saying these agencies are efficient, or even marginally effective in the most general sense of the word, but I believe they could accomplish mind-bending feats when focused on a singular enemy of the ruling class.

And anyway, you’re making these assessments of the technology in the context of what’s available to the consumer. The crux of my argument is that we’re always at least one, maybe several, decades behind the military industrial complex.

“You must be new around these parts.” There is no higher form of American free speech than the all holy dollar. Most Americans don’t even question that logic.

Most Americans question that logic, but, as money is speech, anyone who questions it in a public forum gets shouted down by those who can afford to speak more "freely".
