    Big fan of Luigi, even though he’s innocent he has handled his wrongful arrest with more grace and composure than I could ever muster. That being said the message here kind of sucks. Let’s not promote gun violence maybe?

      Brian Thompson’s buddies have no issue whatsoever killing you with legislation or an algorithm that decides if you live or die.

        Yes and a quick death in the street isn’t justice, they deserve to actually pay for what they’ve done.

          You’re not wrong, but you think someone besides them has access to justice. Which isn’t even the case when a fascist doesn’t control the cops, the courts, the news, the discourse in most public spaces, and also the military.

            There’s also the fact that the legal process takes time, and people are suffering now. BT’s death appears to have forced United Healthcare, and possibly the whole industry, to immediately revisit some of its policies out of fear.

            Not enough to make a major difference, but maybe they just need some more… motivation to so so.
