id rather people focus on the lessons learned.

Should we be talking about this while we have unidentified drones in the sky??

Edit- well, I was told I didn't need /s on lemmy. Just highlighting the media is already moving forward, we'll hear less and less about the case and it'll fade to time.

Given the USA spends more on its military than the rest of the planet combined—no, you can be happy in the knowledge that your government decided it wasn't worrying enough to obliterate

Technically not the truth... The USA was responsible for about 37% of total global spending on military in 2023, and is the largest single spender (in US$ equivalent) globally. However, as a percentage of GDP the USA doesn't even make the top 15. (and if you're talking about a nation's spending priorities then the percentage matters more than the $ value)

Yeah, we can talk about more things than one. Besides, drones don’t bother me as much as getting healthcare.

Obsess away as long as it leads to more billionaires in the guillotine.

This whole story is ripe for conspiracy theory. Comparable to Epstein's arrest and suicide from back in 2020.

Even if the national media wants the story to go away, you're going to have Luigi enthusiasts popping up on the social fringe for years, if not decades.

Exactly. We are a society where innocent children are gunned down in their classrooms every other day. And for once, finally, one of the gunman actually decided to smite someone who deserved it. If you're at the point of being willing to throw your life away in an act of murderous violence, why die a villain, when you can die a hero?

We should be building statues of Luigi.

The only thing left is for some bootlicker to wack him in jail and claim it's suicide, and Luigi will be more famous than Harambe.

I'd argue that he already is. It would just elevate him from legend to marter.

Is this how the bell riots start? I hope so, I'm tired of waiting.

Hopefully inspired by.

[-] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 9 points 4 months ago

I sure hope so.

I’m going to make bookmarks, tshirts, and inspirational posters.

Probably a coloring book too.
