C-class is a protected suit now? Because I only feel financially terrorized by the healthcare industry. It is so systemic and prevalant people are afraid to go see a doctor over anything until it becomes catastrophic, and even then it's "please for the love of all do not involve and ambulance".
Americans are terrorized by the thought of the massive debt for just the ride to the hospitals and basic stabilization - more so than their disloged limbs and bleeding out from a car crash.
Personal medical piss off this last week -
Husband burnt himself on hot coffee at work going to his car to take his break. 2 2nd degree blisters. One about 4 inches. I pleaded with him to 1- tell his job for workmans comp or at least 2 - we have insurance go see urgent care and have a doctor look at it and get an opinions. He was afraid of the costs.
Then he was denied the HPV vaccine coverage while I'm on my 2nd of 3 doses and it's fully covered and it's a ridiculous $500 a dose that probably costs less than $10 to make. It's basically a cancer vaccine. You'd think it's cheaper than cancer treatment reguardless. Don't know if it's because he's over the 'recommended age' by a couple years (like the vax magically stops working then) or if because

This reminds me of how when Cuba nationalized the fruit companies land, they paid them back what the fruit companies had had the land valued at. That value was much lower than a fair valuation, because it meant the companies would have to pay lower taxes on the land.
Maybe someday in a better world, this case will be used as precedent to persecute capitalists. Could be fun.
Wall to wall coverage over a ghoul being rightfully merked+ an expedited terrorist charge
School shooting yesterday and it’s already old news
The bourgeois keep showing us who are they are and we never learn
The only thing keeping Madison’s shooting relevant is this time the shooter’s not a man so people are doing a victory lap in agendaposting.
that would suggest the rich people are feeling terrorised rn
silver linings i guess
well i hope the jury have been fucked over by health insurance
They will almost certainly ask them questions about biases regarding health insurance during jury selection and somehow manage to find 12 law-loving, boot-licking people who've never been screwed over by insurance, don't have any negative feelings towards insurance companies because of someone they know being screwed over. I mean it would really be as simple as finding a dozen retired boomers who held union jobs with good benefits all their lives, are retired on cushy amounts of retirement funds, and are absolutely law and order freaks.
Defense attorney would have to be the worst of all time to somehow not be able to get one person fucked over by health insurance on a full panel.
The prosecution is gonna go ahead with the "south park attack" wherein they point out that all murders are terroism since some people will be terrorized.
i hope the jury have been fucked over by health insurance
They'll be American, so the odds will be good
crackers dance badly while a man with a comically large moustache runs offstage crying
Okay lemme understand it.
"Terrorism" is defined as using violent means to scare or suppress the population.
But what he did made the population happy.
So... shouldn't it be considered that he provided a public service?
This is the definition of terrorism in the state of new yorks penal law

I suspect the prosecutor will try to argue that Luigi attempted to effect a societal change in some way and therefore it's terrorism.
edit: what if they charged him with treason?

That is not the definition of terrorism.
Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature

By that definition the entire federal government are terrorists lol
They made sure to make sure that it doesn't apply to state actors. After 9/11, they felt they needed to come up with a definition of terrorism. They had a VERY hard time coming up with a definition that didn't apply to themselves.
Park rangers are terrorists for telling me not to share my picnic baskets with the bears
Fred was never the same after Yogi's ravishing rampage.
Arguing in court the legal distinction between a picnic basket and a pic-ee-nic basket
Yeah to be accurate the definition should probably spell out that this violent action comes from agents operating outside of a majority-backed monopoly on violence. Terrorist vs freedom fighter n all that.
Unfortunately implied by the "criminal" part of the definition
Violent, criminal acts
As the violence enacted by the state is supposedly supported by the laws they legislate, they get to skirt out of terrorism designation by being definitionally unable to commit "criminal" acts when they commit violent ones
Oh yeah good point.
Damn, if only we had some sort of international body that could bring charges against states for their terroristic crimes.
Curious, that describes health insurance companies. As well as various parties decrying the killing of the CEO.
I am a jaywalker, and this is my manifesto. We will not obey the little green man. The red hand will not contain us.
Every step we take is a middle finger to your order, a crack in your illusion of control. We disrupt your flow, we shatter your calm, and we dare your machines to stop us. Your brakes screech, your tempers flare, and your systems falter—all because we walked.
You call it unsafe. We call it liberation. You call it reckless. We call it revolution.
We are the chaos in your commute, the stress in your steering wheel, and the violence in your precious order.
We are jaywalkers. Your streets will never be safe again.
Does this mean he'll be tried as an "enemy combatant" with no rights instead of a criminal?
Legally, no. But given the circumstances, who knows what they'll try.
NYC couldn't spot terrorism if it crashed straight into a buulding.
The third one just did that on its own
Nothing to see there
Forth one. Side of barn clearly removed. Cock weather vane still erect.
I thought 1st was premeditated, 2nd was heat of the moment, manslaughter is all flavors of "your honor I made a mistake", and negligent homicide is when you failed to prevent their death
it's state by state and i'm not a lawyer. pretty sure second in ny can included premeditated but prompted by harm
Critical support to the NY DA in intentionally sandbagging the prosecution to let the CEO slayer off
What does “sandbagging” mean in this context? I’ve never heard that before
Sand bagging is a term which refers to intentionally doing bad so your team loses. It's often used in sports or games to describe intentionally losing
in martial arts it means intentionally keeping your belt ranking low so you can easily win competitions
Ah that makes sense. I wonder if the meaning is the same in other sports and I just wasn't aware of the nuance

An Italian would never.
