Using our taxes to provide free private security to the wealthiest people in the state?
Up yours, Hochul.
Will someone think of billionaire pocketbooks in this trying time?
They are all gathering in one place
They are all gathering in one place
They are all gathering in one place
Virtual. You can goatse them all at once.
Stream snipe them
SWAT them
Even if nothing, um, definitive happened, people could still gather outside and protest LOUDLY, and they have to come outside sometime and face it.
“We protect everybody on the streets of New York, not just CEOs,” Hochul said. “Everybody deserves the protection of our law enforcement.”
New York City averages over 1 murder per day. Weird how the CEO seems to be the only one getting any attention whatsoever, since everyone is getting equal protection.
Besides that, law enforcement doesn’t protect anyone. Didn’t protect Brian Thompson, did it?
Law enforcement is reactive. They show up after the crime has been committed to take notes (incorrectly) and maybe arrest the wrong person. Oh, except when patrol officers are running speed traps so they can intimidate the undesirables and shake them down for fines (which are regressive), maybe abuse some authority (or just make shit up) in order to provoke an unnecessary arrest.
So can we drop gun control now?
We cant afford for every American to have secret service protection. So we should just get rid of the secret service entirely. Big money wastage. TSA also needs to go. They never did anything to start with.
What? I haven’t fallen into a toilet once since they created the TSA. Those seatbelts are a life saver.
So they’ll all be in one room at the same time?
It’s virtual.
That doesn’t sound very productive, a return to office would increase engagement.
How the turn tables
😂😂
Isn’t that interesting? Bet one whole security guard is sitting outside.
Class solidarity for the elites; rugged individualism for the little people.
Hey gun people.
For decades I’ve been arguing you, and you always seem to think the 2A is very important for freedom in case you ever need to have a revolution.
I want to point out that here’s an excellent chance to convince me I’ve been wrong about 2A being archaic.
95% of American gun owners are pussies that couldn’t even get past the first hurdle when aiming at another human being unless their god king tells them to.
that’s because they follow directions fairly well but lack the basic foundations of free thought.
So let me get this straight: Not having free thought is what’s keeping me from using my guns to murder people?
That’s begging the question that this shooting was a murder and not justified defense.
Huh. ~200 people who’ve screwed over a lot of people are going to be in the same place at the same time, and that fact has been advertised?
Wow. That takes some serious balls. I wish them luck.
It’s going to be a zoom call. Though it would be hilarious if the governor actually hated CEOs, got them all in one place, and tried to consistently leak the info ahead of time.

Anyone considering running for high office, and looking for a hook to run on? Run for the governor of NY on a platform of giving Luigi Mangione a full and unconditional pardon.
You would win in a landslide.
Funny how it’s all about protecting people when a rich guy gets shot but not when any of us gets shot.
Just send the CEOs some (cheap) pizza, single topping. They seem to think that fixes everything.
Only Little Caesars.
The other chains occasionally deliver something minimally edible by mistake.
This is awesome, a whole new grift. I’m surprised that this isn’t a Trump initative.
One murder has put it all in to stark relief for many where the loyalties of law enforcement lie; and yet i cant help but think no one will remember who was on the side of the working class come election season
Which party represents workers again?
None
no one will remember who was on the side of the working class come election season
To be fair, at the very most 5% of national level general elections feature a candidate who’s not an enemy of the working class.
Because probably the richest political party in the world is the least bad of two options and blatantly favor donors over grassroots in the primaries that they are somehow still allowed to be the arbiters of.
It’s like pitting 1989 Mike Tyson against 1989 Mohammed Ali, except Ali gets a head start where Tyson has to stand completely still, a loaded shotgun, and is the match referee.
If only they’d be proactive about the root cause rather than “proactive with law enforcement intelligence “
I don’t want a solution. I want to be mad.
¿Por qué no los dos? If we stay mad long enough, maybe we’ll get an actual change in health insurance coverage. Or even single payer
Then again, we may need to be mad for 4+ years
Sorry, I meant like the CEOs don’t want the solution to the root cause.
Corporate executives convince themselves they only do their job. Their action are evil but they are rewarded for it, so much so that “evil has become banal”.
Recently reminded of the truth, they consider that “demonization”. Why should people leave you alone if you’re killing us & the planet?
Even if “you’re just doing your job”, it still affect us personally and the law will either not be upholded or defend the right of the people. The only way then is steel.
I’m dumb: I don’t see the complexity in Luigi’s action. I only see the truth: the only action that changed something after decades of non-violent political activism was bullets in a CEO.
What did it change? Perhaps more people are becoming aware of the scope of the problem but from a practical perspective I don’t think any difference has been made up to this point.
Blue Cross backpedaled real fuckin’ hard on the whole “we won’t pay for your surgeries anesthesia” things right after.
