Hopefully inspired by.

The only thing left is for some bootlicker to wack him in jail and claim it's suicide, and Luigi will be more famous than Harambe.

I'd argue that he already is. It would just elevate him from legend to marter.

Is this how the bell riots start? I hope so, I'm tired of waiting.

Wonder how ol Chuck is handling it

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Chuck "Chicanery" McGill?

I just saw the news that they've charged him with terrorism. It's like they want to keep the outrage going, and give the jury a reason to acquit.

They've charged Brian Thompson with terrorism for what he did - or at least caused - to tens of thousands of people each year?
Finally they start to make sense!

[-] 4lan@lemmy.world 10 points 4 hours ago

18 people died since you made this comment due to UHC greed.

Most life insurance policies don't cover acts of terrorism.

I'm just saying....

[-] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 19 points 20 hours ago

Not guilty. You can only murder human beings. Brian Robert Thompson willingly relinquished his humanity a long time ago. What Luigi did was more akin to using bleach to treat mold in the bathroom. Killing a living thing? Yes. Murder? Certainly not.

Daniel Jackson: It’s obviously fighting to survive.

O’Neill: So do bacteria!

[-] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 6 points 18 hours ago

Oh, one Luigi damaged your world? Institute health care reform, or we'll send dozens of them, one after the other!

God. How was SG1 so damn good? Every few years I do a rewatch of the whole franchise. It's a masterpiece.

[-] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

Trek is my usual background show but I’m currently on a SG1 rewatch. It’s funny to see so many people from Trek show up in various roles, I think Hammond of Texas would fit perfectly as a statue in front of Starfleet Academy as a model of humanity’s ideals regarding exploration of the stars. Given access to advanced healing technology, both O’Neill and O’Brien would be busting heads to ensure everyone got a fair shake, they’d both despise a CEO like this one

[-] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

My theory is that once you have a role as a main character in Star Trek, you're pretty much stuck in sci fi. The exception to this is if you were already a well established actor prior to Trek. So Patrick Stewart could go back to high theatre, but Colm Meaney ended up mugging Atlantis for a little C4.

They can charge him with whatever they want. Proving it to a jury is a whole other thing.

[-] chappedafloat@lemmy.wtf 23 points 20 hours ago

Be careful not to say anything positive about luigi because you're certainly going to end up on a priority list of people they are going to keep a lot of surveillance on. It's true, feds are terrified of people who seem inspired by things like this. If you say something really really nice about Luigi, the feds might even send you one of their female undercover agents to be your girlfriend for a while and spy on you.

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 8 points 7 hours ago

Some dingdong on Lemmy messaged me to tell me that he had notified the FBI about a Luigi post I made. LOL sure bud.

[-] return2ozma@lemmy.world 31 points 20 hours ago

I'm gay. She'll have no power. They better send a muscle zaddy instead.

[-] stefenauris@pawb.social 6 points 15 hours ago

Where do I sign up for this?

[-] Randelung@lemmy.world 13 points 19 hours ago

I can fix her~~

[-] fannymcslap@lemmy.world 12 points 20 hours ago

Obsess away as long as it leads to more billionaires in the guillotine.

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 13 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

id rather people focus on the lessons learned.

as long as this puts fear back into the burgeoise i aint complaining too much though.

[-] SLVRDRGN@lemmy.world 46 points 1 day ago

Mangione has tapped into something most Americans share: a deep hatred of our health insurance system and of the profiteers who seem so indifferent to our suffering and death. He has still not been mentioned by Donald Trump, who must realize that Mangione’s fandom has no political boundaries.

Wow even DT can't touch this

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 10 points 21 hours ago

I mean could also go out like the guy who everyone would remember, who burned himself for some cause and everyone just forgot about him. Man, what a thing
