Republicans sure love shooting dogs. I thought Trump would just pardon the guy. Now I think he'll nominated him to a cabinet position too.

Guess he was really leaning into the whole "impersonating a police officer" thing.
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 hope they at least give him the Luigi treatment.
Luigi, or whoever actually did it, had the decency not to harm anyone's family or pets. This motherfucker deserves far worse.
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.

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.
Trump will pardon him 100% if he gets a federal charge.

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.

Has the white house made any statements about the murder yet?
That it's Walz's fault
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...
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.

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.
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.

Republicans are the pro-murdering-dogs party.
What an asshole.
Just trying yo sell the cop disguise.
MAGAts attack all that is good in the world.
Of course he did, he's a Republican psychopath. They don't understand why people have pets.

Madman? He knew exactly what he was doing. He's a maga murderer.
Normally I don't advocate the death penalty.
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?

Fox News link that shows he only targeted democrats and quotes a Trump appointee calling it a political assassination
Barbie dog killer at it again.
Arm yourselves nerds these psychos want you dead.
Only a madman shoots a dog. I don't think that this guy has even been charged yet?
