Anyone who rats him out will be the most hated person in America. There’ll be folk songs casting them as Judas and raps comparing them to the killers of Black Panther organisers and artworks of them burning in Hell with Hitler and Nixon and Murdoch, and eventually their descendants will change their surnames to evade the association.
The most hated on Lemmy for sure. I am less certain about the whole USA. As most are aware, Lemmy is very radicalised.
What are normal people that aren't chronically online thinking?
Have you taken a look at Facebook or Twitter....?
This is the single most unifying event in America since the Game of Thrones finale...
MAGA chuds, blue hairs, tankies, and normies, are all pretty united in their collective "lol".
Everyone is chronically online now, just not on chronically on Lemmy.
I am seeing it on Facebook, of all places. It is bringing people together.
The same shit. Actually talk to people and they are all apathetic to the healthcare millionaire vampire sucking people dry
I've been seeing the same memes in local groups without specific political leans
If nothing else, this is why I didn't think anyone would rat him out. Especially for the measly $50k the law is offering. They'd have to make it $5+ million, paid in advance and anonymously, so the idiot snitch could GTFO of Dodge before they come down with a sudden case of lynch mob.
The media organizations owned by billionaires can’t understand the mystery. They continually screw over their employees, the public trust, their customers, the government and everyone else they can are baffled as to why the public is unwilling to help. Billionaires everywhere are quoted as wondering why they aren’t tasted like the deities they see themselves as.
More at 11.
Of course they understand, they're not dumb, they're evil.
I think what's been the shock, if anything, has been has slow the Americans have been to react. That it's gone this far without the people of the country doing anything is wiiiild. I guess all that lost sugar, lead and tapeworm IQ is doing it's job.
They think it's their right do screw over all those people, they don't see anything wrong with it, that's why they are surprised
Honestly, i never knew this would be the big event that would rally humanity together--i am 100% here for it though
Imagine this happening right before the primaries where Bernie was running on, among other things, universal healthcare.
i never knew this would be the big event that would rally humanity together
Briefly.
You're welcome to keep it going
It's only a matter of time before another one happens to rally behind. Hopefully the next one is just as competent.
It's funny because 2010 internet would have tried to find this guy no matter the circumstances. I'm glad the enamor of social media has worn off so that "not your army" is completely internalized.
nah, fuck them pigs. they wouldn't go through this much effort to find your killer, who cares about a millionaire.
Rich people get heath care without regard to the cost.
Rich people get police investigation without regard to the cost.
Or as Brennan Lee Muligan put it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmaoNLSHx_w
Let's make some fuckin' bacon!!!!
Would they? They went after bombers who hurt innocent bystanders, for instance.
But would they have gone after someone that did something people really have sympathy for? I don’t know that there’s any precedent suggesting they would.
Where are the dipshit trolls who inhabit the dark corners of the internet? ... why aren't they going out to help to endlessly troll and make life a living hell for the investigators? Whenever some dumb internet contest happens, they're usually the first to appear to spoil everything ... they should be jumping on this one to troll the police while at the same time gain a bit of social sympathy from the masses.
I saw a thing about NYC having a lookalike contest?
Edit: sourcd
For my part, I intend to aid with the investigation. I saw someone in suspicious headwear who I suspect may be involved.
I for one don't believe he acted alone
They don't need any help looking like idiots. Not getting involved is the correct choice here.
Elon is busy at the moment.
Busy fapping over their dipshit idol and his orange BFF.
I’m fairly sure lying to the FBI is a felony?
Maybe if the guy wasn't such a piece of shit the pigs wouldn't be the only ones trying to solve his murder.
something, something, first 48 hours
Represents a problem with society. Don't like UnitedHealthcare? - Choose something else. Failed to honor their terms? - Sue them and let people know. It's how capitalism works. Instead everyone wants to force things to work the way they want and take matters into their own hands. -A bunch of bushwackers.
You never had a job?
My employer uses United Healtchare, I have no choice in that.
Though Lo and behold, my prior auth that was denied, changed to approved after this.
Don't like UnitedHealthcare? - Choose something else.
Ah yes, of course! Why didn't I think of that? Guess I'll wait till next November when open enrollment is back and I'm allowed to change providers to whomever my company picked for me for 2026.
Failed to honor their terms? - Sue them
Another great nugget of advice! My savings of less than a week's worth of legal fees will surely topple a massive company that has been getting away with this long enough to have more lawyers than I have friends!
man I thought I was an idiot but I feel inexplicably better about myself suddenly
What a dipshit troll
The onion should hire you.
They way the system works is you you buy a service and then a few years later a fuckhead CEO enshittifies it to appease the shareholders. When it's something like insurance you won't know the service is shit until you actually try to use it and your claim is denied. You can't change to a better insurance company that will accept your claim because insurance comapanies won't accept a past claim when you sign up for the service.
So you're fucked while the shareholders make more money and the CEO gets a bonus. You vote for someone that's willing to prosecute price gougers but she loses the election to the scummiest billionaire out there because people care more about WWE memes than having a good government that'll prevent billionaires from screwing you over.
Soap box, ballot box, jury box, ammo box. When greedy billionaires have taken control of the first three boxes, they leave people with only one box they can use.
Holy shit shut the fuck up bootlicker
Choose something else? Choosing insurance is like choosing if you want to drink pee or eat poop. All options suck.
See, this is what I'm talking about. Big fucking picture screaming "LOOK AT ME!", yet with 131 downvotes.
I shouldn't be seeing this comment and all. Why can't Lemmy just auto-hide this for me?
