They're trying to charge Luigi with terrorism! Imagine that!

[fandangalo@lemmy.world]

As a person who grew up in American schools post-Columbine, with kids in schools now, and none of us are CEOs, this is probably the take that saddens me most about this whole event. It’s our kids, and the argument used to be about freedom. Soon, we won’t even have that. What was the fucking point? (Rhetorical: profit)

I know we’re all alive at a special time in humanity. We think we’re so civilized. Then I look around, and it’s the same history playing on repeat. When do the monkeys figure out it’s one species? (Rhetorical again: )

On the plus side, maybe this will actually result in some kind of reasonable gun legislation that will trickle down to a reduction of general gun violence. Maybe. Hopefully. Sometimes all it takes is showing the leopard party that their faces are also in danger.

People aren't all the same species. People with human bodies come in lots of species on the inside. For example, drag has a pet dragon whose body is human. The world is much more interesting after you realise everyone's different.

[hawlsera@lemm.ee]

Dunno why they downvoted you.

[robocall@lemmy.world]

Rumor has it, if you say, "deny, defend, depose" in your phone 3 times, you'll get charged with terrorism too. Hopefully you're an American citizen or else it's off to Guantanamo bay for you.

[sumguyonline@lemmy.world]

Who do we charge with terrorism for people being forced to watch their loved ones die from preventable causes that were denied treatment and cures by insurance companies? Asking for some revolutionaries I might or might not know.

[dasus@lemmy.world]

If you say "Gitmo Bay" three times in the mirror, a dark universe Obama appears and snatches you.

[dogwater@lemmy.world]

Because this multiple species take has been a basis of slavery in the past.

people aren't realizing this is that crazy guy who thinks he's a dragon and refers to himself in third person.

[corkyskog@sh.itjust.works]

I love how they media seems shocked whenever they find Americans who have been radicalized, when one of their counterparts have been radicalized Americans for the last handful of decades.

[panarab@lemm.ee]

They are terrified. He did terrorize their class. So maybe just maybe being a terrorist isn’t bad, it depends on who you terrorize?

[heartyofglass@lemm.ee]

That's on purpose - by acting shocked they expect viewers to react the same way. It's essentially telling their audience how to feel about the story without outright saying "you should feel like this".

[kneetitts@lemmy.world]

funny how murikans are Super against gun violence all of a sudden when it happened to a rich white male.. but not so much when its a class full of poor kids

[eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

They want to make Luigi an example. "Don't do what he did, he's being quickly processed with terrorism added to the charges. You don't wanna be a terrorist do you?"

[kalysta@lemm.ee]

No. There haven’t been enough rich people dying to override the NRA propaganda so far.

[teamassimilation@infosec.pub]

Does the dark universe do "enhanced interrogation" too, or the opposite?

[hawlsera@lemm.ee]

No one's enslaving anybody. Dreg's just being a based otherkin and living beyond the limitations of human existence.

[jovialmicrobial@lemm.ee]

Maybe the CEO's will start to fight each other.

Since the guys who gets rich selling guns want to keep doing that, and the other CEOs want to continue existing without bullets in them.... Would they start hiring hitmen on each other??

Now that's an interesting situation.

[bronzebeard@lemm.ee]

I mean, terrorism is just politically motivated violence.

This country was founded by terrorists.

Do you actually have a point? Innocent children slain: bad. Evil leech that has a large part in oppressing us - maybe not so bad.

Do you really think the dude being white has anything to do with it? Pretty sure "CEO of health insurance company" is a sufficient descriptor and race has nothing to do with it
