Children of the victims had to take Gilbert, their beloved golden retriever, to be put down, the chair of the DNC claimed.

    Of course he did, he’s a Republican psychopath. They don’t understand why people have pets.

    I’ve heard he was a big Trump fan and now I see he’s a maga madman, at what point was his political alignment ascertained? Does someone have an article they could point me to? Particularly one from a source that couldn’t be easily construed as biased if I were to share with a right winger?

    I sincerely hope the hell he rots in is an eternal version of whatever his cowardice created that influenced him to do this. He deserves to live in eternal fear.

    Here’s a guy who killed two prominent people, shot two more, and a rescue dog.

    I hope they at least give him the Luigi treatment.

      I read this story hours ago and it’s stuck with me all day. It’s one thing to be mad at those you feel wronged you; harming an innocent (human or animal) is so despicable it’s inexcusable. I bet that Golden was among the purest best boys on Earth (they all are).

      It’s a good thing I’m not in charge of this pos’ confinement, otherwise he might accidentally find me busy tying my shoe while he’s breaking his neck and dying a slow, excrutiiatingly painful death.

      Luigi, or whoever actually did it, had the decency not to harm anyone’s family or pets. This motherfucker deserves far worse.

          He didn’t do the crime, but he is a hero going to be martyred for it anyway.

          FTFY. His heroism isn’t due to the fact that he did it; It’s due to the fact that he’s obviously being railroaded, and has decided to fight like hell instead of simply accepting it.

        Luigi actually saved lives though. The assassination of Brian Thompson was a stated symbolic protest against insurance practices that deny life‑saving care intended to spotlight and stop those denials. His act sparked intense public outrage media attention regulatory scrutiny and investor backlash which pressured UnitedHealth to soften its claim‑denial practices and approve more life‑saving care. That shift led to higher costs. Lower profits triggered the largest one‑day stock drop in 25 years and prompted a class‑action lawsuit by investors.

        Luigi set out to right actual wrong and literally saved lives in the process

          It’s simpler than that. Someone (not Luigi) stopped a Corporate Serial Killer that was responsible for the deaths and suffering of millions of people in the past, and millions in the future. Whoever killed him acted in defense of others, and is not guilty of murder. He should get a medal.

        I agree. But on the other hand, it seems like they’ve gone above and beyond “normal” in their approach to Luigi. I wanna see this MAGAt perp-walked in full shackles like they did Luigi.

      I will be surprised if they address it in anything but the most hands-off, distant references. “We heard something about the story, really tragic, we hate to see it.”

      Even acknowledging it at all is a political minefield. The good news (for them) is they don’t have to! The vast majority of conservatives in this country, even the “tame” ones who are just scared of different people but have no political passion, they’re getting a deeply cultivated perspective of the world, one that mentions this murder as a strange side-incident that nobody is really talking about, a feed that shows them hundreds of thousands of people cheering at Trump’s parade, of sparse turnouts and cringe leftists at the “no kings” rallies that a few antifa agents organized, of the entire city of LA burning and the tariff’s crushing the economic stability of every other country but the USA, and waves of migrant “criminals” crying in anguish as they are being deported by Daddy Trump every day.

      We don’t see how solid and happy the right is because we also have our own algorithmic bubbles that feed us false hope and dopamine hits of manufactured successes in the face of digital tyranny.

      This is all very bad.

      There was an initial one by his staff that was typical political platitudes condemning violence. Then as soon as Trump opened his mouth, he blamed Walz and showed zero empathy.

        It’s so fucking infuriating…

        The guy apparently had some no kings fliers so they’re sticking to that and saying he was a “Marxist that was mad the Democrats aren’t voting the way he wants”

        …so… Democrats are simultaneously Marxist leftist all the time, and not Marxists so this guy needs to kill them… Right…

          Like the antifa j6 rioters… Just stop trying before you hurt your brain. Watching them talk about he’s a political appointee of the DNC bc he volunteers for some kind of outreach org or something? I caught a fox news clip, swallowed my vomit, and turned it off before I could hear more of their bullshit.

          From what I can tell, the ‘No kings’ flyers were posted by one Twitter account that regularly posts unverified news.

          Bro look at the flyers the cops totally found in this dude’s vehicle. Completely legit, not planted by the police flyers. Yup.

            I think it’s possible that the flyers were not planted. I don’t really know why it never crosses anyone’s mind that maybe he just stole a bunch of these flyers because he wanted to limit people‘s awareness of the protest.
