        he PROTECTED THEM. what does a homeless person do? SLEEP OUTSIDE. it's dirty outside. he was probably covered in germs. we just had covid. dude i'm a liberal, i believe in the science. he had to choke that homeless guy to death, or is a global pandemic not serious to you??

    Fox news also did the exact same thing, they seamlessly transitioned from one story to the next.

    Looks like CNN is being even more blatant with this; https://x.com/ScottJenningsKY/status/1866488366344093982

      what i dont get is, to the average person at home, how does that alone not instantly radicalize you? most people support luigi and what he did. i get they use manipulative framing and shit but how can you see "man kills homeless man, is innocent. man kills ceo, is guilty" and not see what's going on here?

        Because a lot of Americans are classicist and hate the homeless more than they hate getting fucked over by insurance companies. They imagine themselves as someday becoming the wealthy CEO and can't imagine how easy it is to become homeless.

          But not without material position rationale - the average American owns an illusion of private property, through their home and vehicles, that they can barely pay for, as part of the settler project.

          But the western pure-bourgeois-capitalist of their country say "as much as you may have it bad, even as the poorest person; this is the best system that works so far, and to challenge it is to dismantle yourself".

      Fucking liberal dipshit motherfuckers. They all do this same shit where they smugly assert moral superiority over us plebs, but whereas any of us could easily articulate a whole fucking slough of reasons why we believe the CEO had it coming and Jordan Neely didn't, the best they can do is insist they're in the right.

      You can wreck these fucking puds with "say why." Just ask them to justify this shit, and most of them either can't even begin to, or they just give away that it's a class or race thing for them.

    The media's framing of these two cases is making me fucking lose it. I've been so fucking annoyed whenever I hear or see any media coverage. Death to western pig-fucker media.

    I'm sure glad the New York Post was unbiased with their coverage of the murder/execution of Jordan Neely by an ex army vet with formalised training on how to not kill people when detaining them.

    Glad they've managed to grasp to social zeitgeist of america and ignore the pesky protests against white Americans having a seemingly free pass to kill black people.
