They really do. Dude was senator of CT and bought and paid for by the insurance companies, many of whom have headquarters there (at least at the time).
Lemmy.world mods are a bunch of fucking libs. Say anything truly leftist and you’ll get a ban.
They won’t, they’ll tighten their security. Anyone who goes against the shareholders will be removed and replaced by somebody who will maximize profits at all costs.
Doesn’t mean there won’t be copycats who are successful. A whole lot of people have been wronged and the justice system doesn’t work.
The NYT is at least partly responsible for the Iraq war 2. Fuck them.
I mean it’s a “crime” technically but that doesn’t mean we can’t nullify it!
Oh what do you know, it’s the democrats fall guys up to no good as usual. There’s always a fall guy. How convenient.
I got banned from world for similar. Also got banned for stating a fact: democrat joe Lieberman single-handedly killed the single payer option during the passage of obamacare/aca.
The libs can’t cope.
Edit for the libs:
A senator from Connecticut, the insurance capital of the world, became the industry’s go-to guy. Insurers had spent years investing in Sen. Joe Lieberman, a former Democrat-turned-Independent. During the reform debate, the watchdog group Public Campaign Action Fund, (now called EveryVoice), called Lieberman an “insurance puppet,”noting that insurers had contributed nearly half a million dollars to his campaigns over the years.
The Democrats needed Lieberman’s vote to get reform passed, and insurers knew it. Shortly before the Senate was set to vote on the bill, Lieberman said he would vote for the bill only if the public option was stripped out.
Cope and seethe libs. Your electoralism and ability to be easily fooled by the DNC’s lies but but republicans! have led us to this mess. And yes, it goes without saying the republicans are no better. But who needs enemies when one has backstabbing democrats for friends? But if we vote harder we’ll have the votes! no, you fucking won’t. Another fucking patsy will make sure to torpedo any kind of progressive legislation, anything to the left of neoliberalism. See Manchin, Sinema, and the fucking senate parliamentarian for examples.
I’m assuming “here” is somewhere other than USA. Your system sounds better for protecting the integrity of court proceedings…
It also shows how convoluted and busy work the system is, how many utterly pointless jobs involved.
Denying healthcare is violence. Just because there’s layers of paper pushers in between the patient and the corporation denying care doesn’t change things.
Engels said it best:
When one individual inflicts bodily injury upon another such that death results, we call the deed manslaughter; when the assailant knew in advance that the injury would be fatal, we call his deed murder. But when society places hundreds of proletarians in such a position that they inevitably meet a too early and an unnatural death, one which is quite as much a death by violence as that by the sword or bullet; when it deprives thousands of the necessaries of life, places them under conditions in which they cannot live – forces them, through the strong arm of the law, to remain in such conditions until that death ensues which is the inevitable consequence – knows that these thousands of victims must perish, and yet permits these conditions to remain, its deed is murder just as surely as the deed of the single individual; disguised, malicious murder, murder against which none can defend himself, which does not seem what it is, because no man sees the murderer, because the death of the victim seems a natural one, since the offence is more one of omission than of commission. But murder it remains.
Why flee the scene of the crime then? Or why not go to any of the hundreds of police stations between there and NYC? It’s just so odd.
It’s not that conspiracy is more comfortable, it’s that the authorities have slowly broken their trust with the public for decades now and a consequential amount of people no longer believe them.
with a weapon like the one used in the shooting and a manefesto and the same style of face mask, ect.
All of that could of been planted evidence. Personally I think this could be legit or could be a patsy. I’m 50/50 on it. The back story of a (relatively) rich kid (petit bourgeoisie?) going class traitor because of his personal experiences with the system - pain is a major motivator - is compelling. It’s believable that even the privileged are suffering under our insane healthcare system.
At the same time, the hit was clearly skilled. The intelligence it took to find the CEO in the right place and time. The ability to shoot accurately, calmly, even when the weapon isn’t working as intended is a skill that requires practice. The ability to get away from the hit cleanly on a bike and evade the Orwellian surveillance system that is NYC and disappear into the abyss for a nearly a week.
All to get caught with all the evidence on him at a random McDonald’s in bumble fuck PA and acting strange enough to get caught?
All that planning to get the hit and get out of it but no planning about what comes next? I find that really hard to believe. And while the arrested’s backstory is compelling, is it not that hard to find a someone in similar circumstances in America these days to pin it on?
And then things get even weirder. He has family ties with Nancy Pelosi. In a country of 330 million, and someone finally pops a member of the elite, what are the chances that the shooter has ties to Pelosi?! I know that sounds like a crazy right wing conspiracy theory but there’s evidence that points to it being true. Maybe it’s just an odd coincidence.
Maybe the guy didn’t expect to make it out of this alive and didn’t plan for what comes next. Or maybe the shooter is still out on the loose and this is just a (oddly well connected) fall guy to quell the elites fears and make the public forget this ever happened. I’m surprised he was taken alive.
It’s sorta default to start there since it’s the biggest instance. Obviously you can start anywhere but someone new to the fediverse is still learning how it all works.
