This story seems to have faded in the wake of events ad nauseam. We are all aware of Senor Luigi. However, most folks can’t recall the full name of the guy that allegedly Luigi gunned down. Mission accomplished.

Brian Thompson obviously killed himself.

Release the Thompson files!

And by that I mean: Promise to release the files for years and then decide no one should be prosecuted and say "why is everyone still talking about that guy?"

The guy that was gunned down by someone was Evil Healthcare Prick.

It is impressive how scared the wealthy elite are of this man and what he did.

He must be aquitted so they finally understand they're not untouchable. Someone might kill them for the shit they pull.

What's your source that it was him? That's the thing, the circumstances for his arrest are so fucking fishy that it makes him seen like a scapegoat and not the actual killer

People wouldn’t be praising him if they really believed he didn’t do anything. I don’t know more than what’s on mainstream media

Some things are fishy but they are for many things, and I believe if he was innocent, we would have heard a lot more. Currently afaik they’re trying to prove that not everything was handled according to the law, but that’s coping

Brian Thompson had a copy of the Epstein files, and somehow those make people die by suicide.

close the UHC/ uhg was under investigation for insider trading, witty and hemsely both did not even bat an eye when he died.

Look at the security cam footage it's clearly a different person

Dude, Luigi and I were playing twisted metal black that afternoon.

[–] Magnum@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 hours ago

I can confirm, I am twisted metal

[–] slingstone@lemmy.world 8 points 11 hours ago

Nah, man. Luigi was playing Minecraft with me.

Still the only one in the US with balls it seems.
The rest is still busy with interpretative dance, making placards to carry around while having a stroll and determined to vote harder next time.
