Heard of a few people claiming to the police they couldn't breathe
next they are goin to say anyone that supports luigi is a terrorist
I'm surprised they haven't already. They have said things like calling this extremism etc.
Unfortunately, that may backfire worse than they think it will. The moment they identify supporters of what he did as terrorists, then a lot more people suddenly become immune to further propaganda towards terrorism.
The smart thing for them would have been to shut up about it.
i dont know about that, most of the country tends to believe propaganda but i hope you are right
unlikely.
fearmongering maybe.
Oh gosh, wouldn't that be just the worst thing.
Shooting up courts and cops would accomplish very little. They're, well, made for that kind of opposition. The reason Mangione's attack has been so high-profile was because he picked a high-profile target that is NOT made for that kind of opposition. If he'd killed a cop or a judge, it'd've maybe caught an eye or two on the national news before fading away, and accomplished nothing besides. Anyone hauling off and killing a cop or a judge as an attempted copycat is just wasting their time, and their lives most like.
Just a bloodless observation, of course.
Hell yes. More please!
🥲
No one attacked law enforcement for this thought. They are just fear mongering the police so they will want to protect the rich more.
Honestly this sounds like a reporter chop job to me. The only discrete mention of threats to law enforcement is protests, fake bomb threats, and Swatting.
They aren't saying people are going to murder court officials and police.
That and make it sound like those supporting him are dangerous.
If cops start acting like bodyguards for rich people, they will for the next one.

We did and are mocking them for the amount of attention and resources the murder is getting solely due to the wealth of the target.

CIS assessed it "highly likely that threats will continue to target [law enforcement] and other public offices participating in Mangione's case."
Translation: South Park they're coming right for us, FIRE
It worked for Rittenhouse 🫥
Complete bullshit obviously...
But the fact they're worried about it says A LOT about how they view themselves compared to a piece of shit responsible for millions of deaths from denied healthcare.

The media don't know how to deal with people not caring that the CEO of a parasitic company is dead, so now they resort to fear mongering?
Just because people are not showing outpourings of grief for the death of a CEO doesn't mean people are endorsing violence. Luigi Mangione is in custody and will likely go to prison; being sympathetic to his story does not mean endorsing his behaviour. This is a complex and multifaceted story and people are allowed complex and multifaceted responses.
In Altoona, Pennsylvania, where Mangione was captured on Monday, local police told ABC News they also faced threats and negative blowback for arresting the suspect, as did the McDonald's where he was arrested.
CIS assessed it "highly likely that threats will continue to target [law enforcement] and other public offices participating in Mangione's case."
This is just sloppy reporting. CIS says cops and other officials will receive more threats, not that they will be in more danger. But it's 2024 and ABC is a major news outlet that depends on keeping the government and (especially) His Majesty happy to keep their ota broadcast license.
This reeks of propaganda trying to sway the "blue liners" away from support for the coming class war. It makes sense. The "cop feelings > children lives" set are violently stupid and (usually) well armed.
Gotta give it to corpo news and pigs: They got class conscience.
Cops think they're rich now? Or that their masters will do anything other than use them as grunts in the class war? Cops are working class just like most people, they're just class traitors.
Class war has been happening for centuries, just for the last 70 years the poor have been idle or ignoring it while the rich kept advancing forward.
"Overwhelming bipartisan support for the attack" across social media "has resulted in several narratives encouraging similar violent activities directed at other healthcare executive teams,"
This assessment has got it all wrong. People don't want further acts of violence against healthcare executive teams. Or, I should say, not just healthcare executive teams. That thinking is far too narrow.
Ideally, there would be no more health insurance execs to be mad at, because the exploitative health insurance industry would be abolished. That's what literally everyone except the health insurance execs and investors want.
