Luigi Mangione shouts a message to the American people on his way to court:

“This is completely unjust and an insult to the intelligence of the American people and their lived experience.”

    Well the swine killed George Floyd.

    If they kill him, protest is the only thing working class can do practically so gonna need to hit the streets.

      As measured, obtainable, and realistic as your goal is, I fear it will be ineffective. Protesting is practical, safe, and easily ignored. One CEO gets popped, and suddenly there’s murmurs, unified, across the political spectrum. The elites need to know the sheer terror of writhing masses, wielding blunt and rusty tools, awash with unabated malice.

          The Americans typically do not protest like the French. There are moments in US history with violence and I wonder how many people will continue to fly the The Thin Blue Line because the police protect the property and interests of the wealthy.

      So we didn’t get justice system reform after the George floydd protests. This is the 1% telling us the next one will have to be even bigger.

        They could be setting up to test their response. Floyd protests caught them by surprise.

        I was always wondering how Floyd’s death got picked as poster child when there were matter candidates from PR/narrative perspetive for the working class.

        Taylor was a nurse murdered in cold blood due to botched warrant by local PD when they were going after her ex boyfriend. There was nothing bad to spin about her unlikely Floyd. Floyd did get liberal site going but official right narrative worked on critical of right working class. It was divisive.

      Something tells me the protest would be far less organized and far more violent.

      If Luigi is killed cities will burn
