Free Luigi - crazy

[WillowTit]

The dark fandom behind CEO murder suspect Luigi Mangione - BBC News

this is crazy, but would it happen in UK?

Conspiracy theories have reached a new, ridiculous high these days 🙄

Before we start, what would you accept as "concrete" proof.

I am well old enough to now the amount of energy that can be wasted doing the hard work only for some twat to say "That's all very well, but Mars was in Aquarius when it happened so it can't have been <whoever>".

There has always been support for people that are extreme in their actions towards those who hold power that's why we are fascinated with western outlaws, Mafia/cartel bosses to highway man they have always held fascination and often celebrated and romanticised

even if we do not agree with their actions we often admire their rebellious nature to take on those in power

I am not one bit surprised he is being held in high regards by so many people

could it happen here, yes under the right circumstances

there have certainly been ex PM's who if they had been assassinated those guilty would have been considered heroes, I clearly remember the discussions after the failed attempt to kill Thatcher

Was out for a wet and windy walk this morning and saw some 'Free Luigi' graffiti - this is a small seaside town in a part of the UK better known for its love of Nigel Farage.

It has certainly struck a chord with many people, but I don't think the revolution is approaching. Most of us are still too happy to moan, tut and then switch on I'm A Celebrity instead...

Tony Martin ?

I think the photos on the left look like a totally different person than on the right. Different eyebrows, different bridge of the nose, different jacket. I imagine this will all come out at trial.

This has really struck a chord with people, there were delay, defend, depose posters for plundering the NHS and funding genocide in Whitechapel the other week with pictures of Larry Ellison and Siobhan Wilson. People seem to be finding their voices in some way.

The world would be better off without many people, Putin, Trump, Netanyahu and many others who seek power with the sole intention of enriching themselves and those that help them into power. I think the problem isn't the actual politicians but it IS those who fund them. When you have corporations donating in order have a say in laws you end up in a situation like we have now in much of the western world, where corporations are above the law and don't have to take any responsibility for their actions. When it's cheaper for a firm to pay a fine (which gets passed onto the consumer) than carry out business in a moral way things are only going to get worse. Until CEO's start to be held personally accountable for their actions I can see more killings like this happening. When people see the law failing them in favour of the rich I can understand why some will seek justice.

Josh Johnson, a writer for Comedy Central’s Daily Show, recently did a comedy set about Luigi. He captures all sides of the argument.

Second time in two days someone has posted a link in a discussion I'm on with this guy. May be a rising star ?

What was the other topic? I love listening to Josh’s take on current events.

oh good point
