The terrorist charges suggest they want to make an example of him: this is what we do to those who mess with the ownership class.
But by doing so, it only highlights how our society, including the justice system is grossly stratified, so the ownership class is protected bit not restrained, and the working class is restrained but not protected.
The public is already looking at Thompson as a single example of an elite deviant (white collar criminal) who has a high body count, and yet isn’t even regarded as a criminal, much less is being investigated for all the death he is responsible for.
And he is one instance representing a single company in a single industry that goes without regulation. Then there’s cars, guns, opioid addiction, PFOA in the water supply, war profiteers and so on.
(This is why it’s weird that Lucifer in his eponymous show is content with helping an LA police officer hunt down petty serial killers instead of the Brian Thompsons of the world. He, of anyone should know where the true evil is — But the writers either do not, or are not allowed to acknowledge elite deviance.)
They look like they’ve captured a fucking superhero or some shit. Fucking cowards
In my opinion, they have.
not a superhero, a folk hero
someone who actually deserves praise
Like the guards escorting the Joker into Arkham Asylum.
They got their helmets and body armour and rifles to walk a handcuffed man around. What are they scared of?
The people
Exactly
…coming to shake his hand?
To free him
Everyone else
Us
What a surreal scene. It’s almost as if they are trying to prevent a Jack Ruby type scenario. (Or pretend to.)
Look at that cunts smirk just right of Lue
Hold on a second.
Has anyone noticed Luigi isn’t appearing remotely afraid? He’s probably scared shitless, but he knows he is having an impact.
it probably helps to see the entire nation and a significant part of the rest of the world instantly agree that you’re a hero and also very sexy
coolest photo of 2024.

They’re filming the joker 2025
So many bodyguards. I hope the irony isn’t lost.
What a goddamn joke of a perp walk…fucking Cosplay Cops.
Hero
Straighten your damn horizon ffs.
This is one hell of photo
The fuck is Prezbo doing in that picture? Also, isn’t that bald cop in the suit from NCIS or something?
Couldn’t even spring for actual cops.
