It’s all about attention. They wanted their photos taken. Luigi made history, while children getting massacred is just another day in the USA.
Yeah no shit, crowds didn’t gather around to ask for the release of the college killer.
^ this.
The media outreach of one person was huge and is a bigger risk to transfer than the other. Ill let you all figure out who is who
Hero needs to have his posse.
I know, right? Some billionaire might jump out of the crowd and try to start some shit. Gotta be ready for them.
I like your username
It’s because of the circumstances of how both were found.
They want to look super scared and weak. Its how I see them when it takes that many fedbois for one dude.
Maybe it is a distraction from strike breaking?

It’s so everyone can see who’s the boss.
It’s making a statement that if you go after the rich/CEOs - they’ll throw every resource into finding you.
The lesson of the story seems to be to keep the fuck away from McDonalds.
I’ve started to doubt the McDonald’s story - I don’t see how anybody could have recognised him, based on the photos that were released. The FBI were given LM’s name on the 5th (as someone who had been reported missing), and they arrested him on the 9th. My conspiracy theory is that I think they found him using means that they don’t want us to know about, and sent a group of ex-cops to McDs, to loudly talk about him until they were overheard by an employee. So it could’ve happened anywhere, really.
Parallel construction for sure.
They do this shit all the time, it’s called “parallel construction”
First I’ve heard of it, thanks. Learn with me
of course it was.
What else would they use it on? Helping low income and disadvantaged people? Pfffff.
The Mayor of NYC had nothing better to do, too.
Stop this nonsense. He is now a public figure, and the police have all the reasons in the world to encounter protests.
If the police sent 5 guys, encountered a small group who attach them you’d all be meme’ing about the police incompetency.
This is the dumbest reason to make fun of the police who make it easy.
It is just more evidence for the pile to show that police do not exist to protect people, but rather to protect capital.
It’s not nonsense.
This is a perp walk, the police/DA/et al made this happen - and ensured the media was there to capture the moment of him in ‘inmate orange’ flanked by heavily armed state police. Absolutely pre trial prejudicial influence.
Given the speed at which his arraignment and extradition from PA happened, and the fact that the NYPD could have chosen multiple different routes and methods to get him to NYC, he could have been shuffled into a regular prison bus in a police convoy from the airport, with blacked out windows - like is common in Europe where this kind of malfeasance actually results in mistrials and acquittals.
Thank you for being sane, competent and willing. I wish more Americans were like you.

An outside perspective helps - it is very hard to have the cognizance and understanding to see through subtle propaganda like this when it has been ‘normal’ your entire life.
Growing up abroad I almost exclusively saw print and TV media coverage of murder, fraud, rape, etc trials whilst almost never seeing a real image of the accused - just pastel courtroom sketches and videos of vans like that swerving into prison yards flanked by journalists throwing their cameras up at the tinted windows, hoping their photo flash can punch through and get a blurry headshot.
Conversely in the US where a lazy/complicit media will routinely engage in access journalism in a quid pro quo with the state/wealthy/famous, where they are fed information directly from the source they are ostensibly ‘investigating’ who will demand to remain anonymous, whilst also feeding the press select information and context that build a narrative. “Journalist” gets a story for their deadline with minimal effort and can repeatedly go back to that source in the future as long as they don’t challenge the state/PR narrative. Rinse and repeat, collect paycheck and vie for that Pulitzer headpat.
Why do you think we keep having these ‘open secret’ and #MeToo falls from grace despite decades of predatory behavior? Real journalists get careers cancelled, death threats, or assassinated in a carbombing for exposing the Panama, Paradise, & Pandora Papers, we have far too much lazy reposting masquerading as actual journalism.
Stay anonymous, stay safe, and please keep doing what you do. We need to hear this.
I appreciate the concern, but we all already live in the digital panopticon.
The basic setup of Bentham’s panopticon is this: there is a central tower surrounded by cells. In the central tower is the watchman. In the cells are prisoners – or workers, or children, depending on the use of the building. The tower shines bright light so that the watchman is able to see everyone in the cells. The people in the cells, however, aren’t able to see the watchman, and therefore have to assume that they are always under observation.
The Victorian idea was to ensure compliance of the incarcerated by actualizing the impression of omnipotent surveillance. They’ve built that into the framework of digital spaces by hijacking the ISPs at the source, creating a permanent man-in-the-middle.
The room… contains several racks of equipment, including [devices] designed to intercept and analyze Internet communications at very high speeds. It is fed by fiber optic lines from beam splitters installed in fiber optic trunks carrying Internet backbone traffic… [giving] access to all Internet traffic that passes through the building, and therefore “the capability to enable surveillance and analysis of internet content on a massive scale, including both overseas and purely domestic traffic.”
‘Swimming in the noise’ was a decent way to stay unnoticed, but AI and ML processing throughput combined with metadata is carving that out rapidly.
Absolutely pre trial prejudicial influence.
Considering most seem to understand that he’s being targeted with extra punishment by the ruling class for daring to kill one of their own, this doesn’t do them any favors in dismissing that notion. I know it looks like the Starship Troopers giant bug meme to me.
They are too out of touch to understand that we see through the circus.
Nonsense eh?
I would consider your point if the fucking mayor weren’t there.
Who the fuck is going to assault the champion of the people?
More like who is going to spring the champion of the people.
GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY! STONE COLD! STONE COLD! STONE COLD!
Well, Elon and Donald have taken care of the “salaried” thing now. But yes, they are showing him off like Hannibal Lector. They have treated worse people better, but they just killed “blacks”, not CEOs.
They‘re just treating him like this because it is less common to kill a CEO than students or black people.
I hope nobody changes that, sincerely. I really hope that, from the bottom of my heart. If someone was to hunt CEOs for sport, that would be so awful! Oh dear lord I would not want to live in a world where poor innocent CEOs were hunted like dogs.
It would be a horribly dystopian twist on Battle Royale / Hunger Games if CEOs of companies found to have caused needless death or suffering, were rounded up and pitted against each other. And televised.
Nobody should think of that. It’s terrible. Can nobody write that down please.
I wonder what the spectacle would be if someone killed a black CEO.
Race doesn’t matter as much once you have enough money and power. Think of Jo Bob from the widget factory and his black friend George. He hates black people but he loves George because he’s One of the Good Ones™️
Edit- Once I was at a party at a guy I’ve known for a long time’s new house. He was making big money (for us) as a factory supervisor and got to buy a house. He and his wife’s parents are rich but I don’t know if they gave them money or not.
He’s from out in the country. One of my wife’s friends from high school. He gets drunk and starts talking about how there’s only one black guy working in his division and that guy laughs at the racist jokes and doesn’t care when people say removed.
Now I’ve ruined people’s time before for very stupid reasons, but this time I had a good one. I loudly told him what he and his employees were doing was racist as fuck and the black dude was going along with being dehumanized because he needed the fucking job. He’s hated me ever since.
it’s class warfare, that’s what it is.
I wish ppl would understand this more. Instead they’re hyper fixated on more superficial issues.
There really is no other interpretation. Who can look at this and possibly suggest that they are on our side?
They kept us busy fighting culture wars post Occupy protests.
And we larped it too.
God willing the pedons got a clue what we are dealing with there.
Insurance is just the tip of the iceberg. All corpos behave like this.
They fuck us on labour side and then turn around and do the same on consumer end too.
Parasites got a good grift and most people can’t even ID the enemy.
Warren buffet worship is prime example…
No, it’s the maga, I mean the wokes, I mean the global warming deniers, I mean the alphabet people…
It’s plain and simple. Clear as day.
This meme is STUPID! Those Kids were POOR Dumby! I’m Pro Life and I want to Save The Children!
