        My favorite part is when he stands up to talk to the mirrored glass the handcuffs just pop apart like they weren’t even there in the first place. Four military soldiers in this picture for a man who could literally turn them into pink mist

        VS the entourage NYPD gave Luigi. An unarmed man with a back injury. They really are scared.

          They’re weak. They don’t like us realizing A, they can easily die no matter how much money they have even security can’t always save you and B, the only thing that keeps us from killing them is this veil of society, a sense of doing wrong/getting in trouble with the law.

    So, given that 4 students is equal to 1 cop and that 1 CEO is more or less equal to 30 cop, We can say that a student is equal to 0.25 cop So a CEO is equal to 120 students live. As they have been around 70 victim to school shooting by year and around 300 school shooting for the last 3 years in the USA, we can deduct that the death of a CEO is around 2 year of school shooting combined (not taking into account the wounded) so around 600 school shooting.

    Is my math correct?

        Depending on whether you mean Sandy Hook/Columbine type shootings or any shooting that involves any school property in any fashion then either mostly white or mostly black. If you’re averaging a school shooting a day, then you’re including any shooting involving school property so mostly black but also fewer students than you’d expect (a lot of “school shootings” are just gang violence that involves school property in some fashion and a surprising number are accidental discharge of a concealed carry that hits no one).

        You’re supposed to set up a system of equations and use substitution or row reduction to solve. It’s easy! They let you use a ti-89plus titanium, so make sure you’re familiar with how to do this on your calculator.

      They kept us busy fighting culture wars post Occupy protests.

      And we larped it too.

      God willing the pedons got a clue what we are dealing with there.

      Insurance is just the tip of the iceberg. All corpos behave like this.

      They fuck us on labour side and then turn around and do the same on consumer end too.

      Parasites got a good grift and most people can’t even ID the enemy.

      Warren buffet worship is prime example…

    Why are we pretending like this isn’t prudent on NYPD’s part? If this weren’t 2000 miles away I’d probably show up, if not to try and bust him out then at the very least to throw shit at the cops and yell. And if I’m considering driving a prius thru the fence to free the guy, I can only imagine what the non suburban-cishet-white-male-techie demographic is feeling about it.

        Of course it still looks really bad on camera. This is one of those lose/lose situations where your best course of action still amplifies a message you probably don’t want to amplify.

            I’m like the whitest woman I’ve ever met. Maybe if a bunch of us make posters with glitter paint like we’re going to see a boy band and shower him with bras, our odds will go up both that he’ll get one and keep it long enough, and that they’ll assume we’re “harmless.”

            …actually if we did the first part we could probably overwhelm them and free him.

              I like this idea. If any of the cops that move him in and out of his cell have the stereotypical cop mentality, they might make him put on one of the bras to emasculate him. Unknowingly giving him the keys to freedom.

      That sounds completely reasonable, until you realize the mayor of NYC was there right behind him. That one little detail blows up the whole story and makes you realize that it was just a photo op.

      Not to mention one did their act in NYC and fled to suburban Pennsylvania while the other had to deal with police from a far more mundane environment. People who think the comparison can be used to paint police intentions (as if they’re even a single body like some army of droids and not individuals who have free will to show up) are just sad, it would be like saying “the 1918 plague was not as widely reported or is as known as the smallpox plague, therefore it killed less or was less a priority”. People are sadly disproportionate, that’s just how things seem to have worked in history.

        It really just comes down to whatever helps the narrative. Empirical truth is no longer required anymore. All everyone really needs now is just a good profound meme-

        and this dude is destined to become one. His entire message is going to become lost amongst all the edgy salivating kids, climbing over one another to see who can make the coolest cartoon out of him.

        Never forget what Luigi stands for here.

      It would make more sense that they just killed another CEO on the other side of town when they stationed all these guards to move a CEO killer. Why would you break him out. There are 300 million other CEO killers out there getting trained by governmental failure every day.
