Columbine kicked off an epidemic of school shootings because of the attention it got. Some people need a focus for their misery and I am not ashamed to say that I would rather see heartless corporate executives fear for their safety instead of school children gunned down as they hide in a closet. Just putting that out there.
I am glad to know I’m not alone in this line of thinking!
Hello lonely young men with something to prove, have you seen how much positive attention Luigi got
well im lonely but i dont want to goto jail.
So what you’re saying is if the collective can set Luigi free then you might be okay with the deal?
no ill miss my computer too much but it is tempting.
You can’t miss your computer if you die guns blazing or drive off a cliff
depends what situation id get myself into. I’m fond of being alive currently.
In Heaven all those ads promising a “Free Alienware” if you just fill out a survey are actually true.
Just avoid eating inside restaurants for awhile.
This convo is heavy sarcasm, no person should do something stupid based on shit read online.
But school shootings are bad thing to do though
we are not talking about school shootings.
Hey kids.
Don’t shoot a school.
Shoot a CEO instead.
I’ve got very few long term prospects, very little empathy for the undeserving wealthy, and a whole lot of spare time.
Ladies, look out 😎
Well yeah, don’t you remember game theory talking about how big his cock is?
Luigi got attention for being arrested, the police are the ones alleging that he was the one who shot the CEO.
It really would be a strange kind of uniquely American poetry if our school shooting problem inverted itself into a megacorp CEO shooting solution.
If a few more CEOs gets off’d, they’ll ram gun control legislation through congress faster than Trump can wolf down a Big Mac.
Historically it’s been threats to the owner / controller class that have produced serious gun control legislation in the US, so you are probably right! But if you mean actual confiscation a la Australia, pretty sure that’s off the table here. Sincerely think it’d spark a war no matter who sincerely attempts it or why.
The cat is out of the bag, no? 3d printing guns is a bit of a Pandoras box in regards to gun control. Especially in America where it has been legal for so long
Federally legal. I didn’t realize it but like 14 states outlaw them and others have prohibitions on parts of them. Honestly, I’m impressed it didn’t break. The idea of making one makes me nervous over safety. I haven’t even been brave enough to print a stock or foreguard simply out of concern. I also don’t trust aluminum casings (if a shell splits it’s likely damaging the barrel or receiver).
A papercut that draws blue blood is a bigger issue to these freaks than a river of poor corpses.
Given that the guy used a (partially) 3D-printed gun, I just can’t fucking wait to see how the overbroad knee-jerk restrictions are going to impact the hobbyist maker space.
Or they just make it easier for CEOs to get and carry guns.
I think they said that Luigi had a ghost gun, partially 3D printed? Of course he didn’t make the bullets so maybe that’ll matter.
shit, i would say school shootings are endemic now.
Only in America. Where there’s guns, there’s accidental death.
I say ban the guns so the vigilantes need to use cricket bats. Sell the surveillance tapes for PPV.
Hey, those tapes are community property. Stop trying to commercialize justice.
Take it else where to do this circle jerk.
Stay on topic please. Brian was a prasite. Nothing to do with us fire arm laws.
School shootings are very intentional, not accidental.
Banning guns isn’t going to make 500 million firearms disappear, it’ll just take them out of the hands of law-abiding citizens.
“Nothing can be done to prevent this.”
-The only country where this regularly happensVery original.
The classics are classics for a reason.
It’s not wrong.
Of course something can be done to prevent it, but just blanket banning things is a horrible policy, and always has been. Or do you think the war on drugs was a smashing success? Drugs went away, and so did all the problems associated with them. Right? Right guys? Right?
How do I upvote AND downvote a comment at the same time?
Workplace shootings are nothing new. Where do you think the term Going Postal comes from?
Damn I thought it was the hit game POSTAL 2
Watch the Postal movie for a real wtf humor/horror experience. I enjoyed it, but it’s a sensitivity PR nightmare.
I really hope Jo Miran is an alias.
Maybe of the Buckee’s beaver?
In this regard, all the media attention might be a good thing. I haven’t seen this much coverage since that runaway bride horse shit 15 years ago.
This is why you don’t snitch. The powers that be don’t care about you, have no intention to do right by you, and will actively look for ways to avoid you after they are done with you.
What was it again, Deny, Delay, …
Dispose?
The original is delay, deny, defend.
The one that was on the cartridge casing when the CEO was terminated was, delay, deny, depose.
The act of deposing a person, by one definition is to “remove from office suddenly and forcefully”
IMO, that’s the meaning behind the use of “depose” here.
There’s also legal depositions which are a very different thing entirely. From what I’ve heard, Luigi had a lot of experience with delay and deny. I dunno how much of what I’ve heard is true, and how much is just a game of telephone gone wrong.
Dispose was a joke answer but I appreciate the extra detail
Are you sure about that?
I didn’t think they recovered one with “delay”
The problem is that the first reports of what was written on the casings was wrong, and later corrections are mixed in with the original misreported text.
So there’s a lot of misunderstandings about what they said.
I’m not saying my information is 100% accurate; but I’m not willing to wade through the neverending sea of news articles that care more about clicks than accuracy to figure it out.
In any case, good luck and have a good day!
always have been.jpeg
I always wondered about WitSec. How long does the protection last? After trial, then what?
…and all that came of the whole affair was a bunch of bad reviews for a McDonald’s, which were promptly deleted by the corporation controlling all data.
No, there was a lot more that came of this.
- It’s made business execs afraid.
- It’s shown the working class how to have solidarity.
- It’s been a rallying cry for how much the people hare the current system.
- It’s given us a martyr.
- It’s taught the would be school shooters that they’ll get lots of positive attention for redirecting their targets towards those deserving. They’ll get labeled a folk hero, they’ll have people trying to send them money for their legal defense fund, they’ll get their name in the history books. They’ll get everything they ever wanted out of their act of violence.
And I’m sure there’s more.
I’m not a big Astarion fan, but I can see the appeal.
or if you conceal your murder(s) with a thin veil of legality!
Interesting work of fiction.
He’s not wrong that people don’t mind murder if it’s the right people, though.

I never even thought of that. No more Columbines? Just more Luigis?
Based universe!
I wouldn’t go so far to say that there won’t be any more school shootings. A school shootings is comparatively easy. Their locations are static, publicly available. There are many potential victims, and so on.
With that said, some may opt for the slightly higher difficulty of biz execs for the reasons I’ve listed.
It might even unify some voters across party lines
I think that user above you was implying more should be done about the McDonalds, which is pretty ironic given the context.
Maybe the “let me fuck shit up and shoot up my high-school” crowd doesn’t really care about being remembered as heroes but what would I know.
Some of them don’t care about being remembered or how they’re remembered.
But some of them very much do:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1359178916300027
Example:
Is his martydom trending on “common” social media like TikTok, YT, Facebook, Discord, big podcasts and such?
Lemmy (and even Twitter and Reddit) are rather niche and not necessarily reaching the larger public, aka this pool of working class folk.
It definitely seems to be yeah, given the number of reposted tiktoks I’ve seen, and the facebook unitedhealthgroup laughing emoji ratio, and all the videos that corporate media are clutching their pearls over. There are tons of comments in Ben Shapiro’s videos on the subject that are cheering on the death of a CEO, despite his attempt to paint this as only the “violent left”. When Ben Shapiro’s viewers disagree with him you know the feeling is widespread lol.
Very interesting.
And some of the “small” news outlets in my feed are starting to sympathetically acknowledge it as well.
I can’t speak for all of them, but I can explain the vibes:
- TikTok/Insta - 100% worshipping Luigi en masse
- Discord - None of the ones I’m in, though I mostly stick to small friend groups I know IRL. I’d be shocked if there aren’t servers praising him as a hero
I can’t speak to the rest.
One of the Hoi4 mod servers im on is actively debating making an agent portrait of him. The debate is about historical accuracy not morality.
Lmao
I guess Advent Health dropped their proposed anesthesia policy out of the goodness of their heart?
For now. However I’m sure they have plans in the works for all sorts of similar heinous and hateful policy changes.
The parasites are scrapping their data online because they know plebs don’t know how to check SEC filings on https://www.sec.gov/search-filings
That could maybe contain names of the people running these death machines.
Coincidentally, unrelated, happenstance fact - you can gain the ability to attend shareholder meetings by purchasing a certain amount of shares - each company sets their own level.
Y’know, exactly like the meeting Brian was on his way to that December morning.…
ohh wow, look at that!
i guess they really do think peasants don’t know how to use common sense and online search, i am sure Securitas and G4S clowns charging a fat fee for this advise too. Classic capitalism strikes again.
does it actually make these parasites any safer?
no way to tell really…
Well the employee was also fired and their life ruined, and it’s still early.
Seriously? Why is that?
Being fired? For being a distraction from the work that McDonald’s wants to occur without people associating it with class warfare.
Honestly it’s probably the manager reacting poorly and once it goes further up the ladder and there is more and more backlash they will turn back on these decisions same as the reward money if they are smart though I think the 10,000 is officially off the table since that was a private 3rd party and the 50,000 will likely be a fraction of that at best.
Any kind of change from norm gets blamed on whoever they think caused it. And it hits wide and usually the innocent just as much.
Until you can provide a source about them being fired I’m calling bullshit.
That’s fair and I respect your time enough to not post sources that amount to Facebook posts and texts from others that live there.
I will say it shouldn’t come as such a stretch that a system that believes in those that interrupt the flow of money as villains no matter the reasons for it from protests to victims of bullying would mistreat an old lady who was hoping to get more out of her existence by being good for it.
So meet my statements with skepticism absolutely! But I implore you to treat as “what if true” rather than “what if false”.
I can’t find anything that mentions they were fired. Do you have a source for that? That would be super messed up.
Well I have it from the statements of the woman herself and the somewhat open gossip now of central PA.
I could try to pull sources but I’m not sure what I could provide that would be considered respectable enough for this community.
I think she was just put on leave but if you are a part time worker on leave without pay it sure looks like being fired even if on a technicality they can say she wasn’t fired yet. I dunno she’s acting like she was fucked over and I believe it when she thought she would get a bunch of money and be a hero.
I don’t have sources that talk about people shitting on cars at the McDonald’s but that’s happening too.
I’ve already heard a bunch of stories of insurance companies approving procedures they denied the day before.
This probably saved a bunch of lives.
This thing about them not getting the promised reward needs to go viral so in the fu
