Unfortunately, the people doing it are the media It's a quintessential "man bites dog" story. Normally it's the insurance companies killing civilians. Everyone is going to cover it. The police had a manhunt because it would look ridiculous if they didn't solve such a high-profile case.

It's kind of a symbiotic relationship, the media covers it, the police react harshly, the media covers it more.

You know what looks even more ridiculous? Only taking action on anything when the victims are wealthy. Go read about how ridiculously lax NYC laws against crime are. But some rich dude gets shot and all of the sudden the cops are Columbo, and the court prosecutors are Matlock (yes I'm aware how old those references make me seem).

This is because the Government with Republicans and Neo Liberals are about business interests over the American people. People need to just start sharing their denials from United healthcare every time they right a piece how Luigi is evil. So tired of this bullshit. And here is another thought pro lifers need to start protesting for universal healthcare to be consistent.

They'll make it illegal to share "sensitive information" like healthcare insurance denials, and they'll punish you for releasing your own sensitive information.

And then they'll go after anyone reposting it for violating your rights, they'll charge them on your behalf regardless of whether you protest that you don't want to charge them.

They'll violate you in weird ways.

False! Corporations are people in the eyes of the law, and the only "people" who matter to the institutions.

Because all the dainty little devils are terrified

Who exactly is terrified here?

Billionaires want to be both political and non-political. They want to be the average person who "worked hard to get where they are without help" and they want to be the special upper class who deserves special protection when one of their own gets shot.

This is very close to them admitting that class warfare is real.

Translation: majority shareholders

Translation: the obscenely wealthy that run the country

What a shocking surprise. Why stop there? Why not charge him with genocide? Bring him to The Hague and charge him with war crimes?

Billionaires are reading this post and thoughtfully taking notes.
