Honestly, a part of me wants this to happen because I believe it would cause some serious protests.

Frankly, I'm surprised he hasn't already.

[-] uberdroog@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

That should go over well.

[-] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 36 points 3 days ago

So which company building we burning down first? I vote for Wal-Mart.

[-] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 27 points 2 days ago

How about a Tesla building? Or a government building?

[-] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 2 days ago

Tesla do that on their own. If we did their building, people will think it was the same way.

Government build hurts the people. We will have to rebuild it again. Plus I want a building that will improve the community and a Wal-Mart building will accomplish that.

Tesla do that on their own.

Not often enough

That's encouraging. Thanks!

I scrolled all the way to the bottom of these comments, then breathed a sigh of relief.

Because the comments that I'd see on reddit, the ones all the way at the bottom that show up every time George Floyd is mentioned, weren't there. I hadn't even thought about those comments until I got to the end.

A possible motive is to push the power of the executive. If Trump can somehow seize this power, there's nothing that can stop him.

That or just trying to embolden the police, but I'm guessing it's even worse than that.

I'd say it's to embolden police and violent racists, in hope of helping encouraging their race war to destabilize the country so that they can divy it up.

The interesting lack of forethought from the oligarchic billionaires is that their billions mean nothing without the US dollar and NYSE. The majority of their hoards of wealth are not backed by anything tangible that could be of use in the event that the US dollar ceases to be relevant. I suppose that this kind of thought isn't likely to occur to sociopaths that were born with platinum spoons in their mouths.

Yes - just as with the DEI controversy, the main point is just to fan the flames of racism.

The 1% understand that the US is approaching a breaking point. Things are going to shit, and people are going to start looking for someone to blame for the ugliness and horror and death to come.

And the blame falls squarely on the shoulders of the 1%.

And of course, they don't want us to see that. So they're doing everything they can to divide us against ourselves.

A gun. A gun can stop him. They work well. American has more guns than people, and a second amendment designed to stop this nonsense when needed.

It’s needed.

Nazi Musk does nazi things.

[-] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago

Getting classier by the day. Fucking embarrassing

[-] friendofspongebob@lemm.ee 10 points 2 days ago

But that guy was convicted of murder wasnt he? Is Felon now doubting a jugdes decision? I really think he is losing his shit. Did for sometime but now its getting obvious.

[-] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 days ago

Hell yes! Get Chauvin out of Club Fed and right into GenPop of the nearest state prison. That'll work out GREAT for everyone. Except Chauvin.

[-] plz1@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago

Was he convicted federally, or is Musk just generating distractions for the news media?

Yeah that tracks with this timeline.

[-] computrav@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago

"How can we cause larger riots than what happened after a George Floyd was murdered?"

[-] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 12 points 3 days ago

Oh boy. I mean sure, pardon the federal charges.

He's still got time he owes Minnesota about 20 years yet. I don't know what the laws about where he serves are, but I don't imagine he'll be placed somewhere better.

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 days ago

Prisons in Minnesota are much more likely to have inmates that he personally arrested, so moving from federal to state prison would be significantlyworse for him
