How about asking them not to be useless parasites who make things worse for the rest of us? That might help ensure their safety.
Imagine doing group therapy with 175 people
I think about them all the time actually…
“We protect everybody on the streets of New York, not just CEOs.”
Everybody gets equal protection, but some get more equal protection than others
Everyone is equal comrade. Some are far more equal than others.
Using our taxes to provide free private security to the wealthiest people in the state?
Up yours, Hochul.
Will someone think of billionaire pocketbooks in this trying time?
They are all gathering in one place
They are all gathering in one place
They are all gathering in one place
Virtual. You can goatse them all at once.
Stream snipe them
SWAT them
Even if nothing, um, definitive happened, people could still gather outside and protest LOUDLY, and they have to come outside sometime and face it.
“We protect everybody on the streets of New York, not just CEOs,” Hochul said. “Everybody deserves the protection of our law enforcement.”
New York City averages over 1 murder per day. Weird how the CEO seems to be the only one getting any attention whatsoever, since everyone is getting equal protection.
Besides that, law enforcement doesn’t protect anyone. Didn’t protect Brian Thompson, did it?
Law enforcement is reactive. They show up after the crime has been committed to take notes (incorrectly) and maybe arrest the wrong person. Oh, except when patrol officers are running speed traps so they can intimidate the undesirables and shake them down for fines (which are regressive), maybe abuse some authority (or just make shit up) in order to provoke an unnecessary arrest.
So can we drop gun control now?
We cant afford for every American to have secret service protection. So we should just get rid of the secret service entirely. Big money wastage. TSA also needs to go. They never did anything to start with.
What? I haven’t fallen into a toilet once since they created the TSA. Those seatbelts are a life saver.
Anyone considering running for high office, and looking for a hook to run on? Run for the governor of NY on a platform of giving Luigi Mangione a full and unconditional pardon.
You would win in a landslide.
I honestly don’t think this would work, too many older people vote and they are not generally in agreement with the working class plights of modern times. They think we should still make a nickle while they make a buck because they got there first.
They can do that lying down. In the dirt. In a moisture-sealed box. In perpetuity.
That way, that money can actually do something for those actually living life. 🤌🏽
My mother, who literally works at a hospital fighting with insurance companies all day long to get things approved, “doesn’t understand” why this happened in the first place, and thinks all the people who are pleased about it are “sad and pathetic”
Personally I think she fully understands why people cheer it on, she just chooses to ignore it because things aren’t bad enough for her yet so CLEARLY everyone else is overreacting…
Don’t take this the wrong way, but your mother sucks.
1: you are absolutely correct
B- YOU DON’T TALK ABOUT MY MAMMA REEEEE
She’s college educated with a degree to teach math k-12, which just goes to show even a good education isnt always enough to make people see logic and reason.
If you work at a hospital there’s a good chance you have a union and don’t face the same problems the rest of the workforce does.
Class solidarity for the elites; rugged individualism for the little people.
Funny how it’s all about protecting people when a rich guy gets shot but not when any of us gets shot.
Huh. ~200 people who’ve screwed over a lot of people are going to be in the same place at the same time, and that fact has been advertised?
Wow. That takes some serious balls. I wish them luck.
It’s going to be a zoom call. Though it would be hilarious if the governor actually hated CEOs, got them all in one place, and tried to consistently leak the info ahead of time.

They’ll socialize their security but they won’t socialize medicine.
Free market for thee, but not for me.
@Lettuceeatlettuce @Schmoo “everyone needs protection” apparently not people on health insurance
Corporate executives convince themselves they only do their job. Their action are evil but they are rewarded for it, so much so that “evil has become banal”.
Recently reminded of the truth, they consider that “demonization”. Why should people leave you alone if you’re killing us & the planet?
Even if “you’re just doing your job”, it still affect us personally and the law will either not be upholded or defend the right of the people. The only way then is steel.
I’m dumb: I don’t see the complexity in Luigi’s action. I only see the truth: the only action that changed something after decades of non-violent political activism was bullets in a CEO.
What did it change? Perhaps more people are becoming aware of the scope of the problem but from a practical perspective I don’t think any difference has been made up to this point.
Blue Cross backpedaled real fuckin’ hard on the whole “we won’t pay for your surgeries anesthesia” things right after.
One murder has put it all in to stark relief for many where the loyalties of law enforcement lie; and yet i cant help but think no one will remember who was on the side of the working class come election season
Which party represents workers again?
None
no one will remember who was on the side of the working class come election season
To be fair, at the very most 5% of national level general elections feature a candidate who’s not an enemy of the working class.
Because probably the richest political party in the world is the least bad of two options and blatantly favor donors over grassroots in the primaries that they are somehow still allowed to be the arbiters of.
It’s like pitting 1989 Mike Tyson against 1989 Mohammed Ali, except Ali gets a head start where Tyson has to stand completely still, a loaded shotgun, and is the match referee.
