UnitedHealthcare CEO shooting supporters may target police, courts: Analysts

No one attacked law enforcement for this thought. They are just fear mongering the police so they will want to protect the rich more.

I haven't seen anyone encouraging or even so much as hinting that a copycat should target police or courts. Feels like something made up to try to drive a wedge between the bipartisan support by splintering off "back the blue" type of people.

CIS assessed it "highly likely that threats will continue to target [law enforcement] and other public offices participating in Mangione's case."

Translation: South Park they're coming right for us, FIRE

ACAB

Complete bullshit obviously...

But the fact they're worried about it says A LOT about how they view themselves compared to a piece of shit responsible for millions of deaths from denied healthcare.

Let's compare:

Osama Bin Ladin/Brian Robert Thompson

Number killed by own hands: 0/0

Number killed through orders to underlings: _3,000/51,000

Reason for killings: religious and geopolitical reasons/profit motive

Cause of death: execution by gunshot/execution by gunshot

Date of trial for killings: N/A / N/A

Date of issue of death sentence for killings: N/A / N/A

Response to killing: celebration by US president on national TV, celebration by commoners and elites / celebration by commoners, condemnation by elite.

Consequence to assassins for extra-judicial slaying: national praise / indicted for 2nd degree murder

Race and class: weird Arab guy in traditional garb / rich white man in a a suit

Oh, lol.....they think people are only going to target other healthcare CEO's? That's fucking adorable.

Oh come off it already.
Yeah we all agree shooting people is wrong.
But just about everyone in the general public more or less agrees Thompson had it coming. We've all dealt with scummy insurance companies.
Playing up the threat at this point seems like an obvious psyop. And it's not even being done well.

That I've seen, nobody, anywhere, at all, has suggested targeting police or courts. This has been solely framed as a class war between the rank and file citizens of the nation and a very small number (10-25) of CEOs whose companies destroy lives every day. There is no anger with cops or the courts.

God, the police are so fucking coddled. "This shit that has nothing to do with police? A threat to police." Anytbing to direct more funding to these fucking babies.

The media don't know how to deal with people not caring that the CEO of a parasitic company is dead, so now they resort to fear mongering?

Just because people are not showing outpourings of grief for the death of a CEO doesn't mean people are endorsing violence. Luigi Mangione is in custody and will likely go to prison; being sympathetic to his story does not mean endorsing his behaviour. This is a complex and multifaceted story and people are allowed complex and multifaceted responses.

Welp, its officially in. Anyone who sympathizes with Luigi is officially deemed a terrorist.

Soon, some senator will announce that he/she has a list of suspected communists terrorists who sympathize with Luigi Mangione. This will the know as the Red Scare Green Scare. Mentioning the term "Green Mario" would be a death sentence.

Super Mario Bros will be deemed as terrorist propaganda, and any related media would be confiscated. There would be no-knock searches carried out across the nation, many will be shot in the process.

If you are reading this, your are already on their list. If you are reading this, you are the resistance...

God the police are so pathetically paranoid.

Mainstream media playbook 101. When your narrative isn't taking hold lean on fear mongering.

I mean, remember defund the police?

That movement fully targeted cops.

This one is targeting the ruling class, and cops are worried.

It’s like that moment when you criticize a bad thing (like selfishness) and out of nowhere someone gets offended; they are basically telling on themselves.

the police have a training traveling school called Killology and refer to themselves as "killologist."

In Altoona, Pennsylvania, where Mangione was captured on Monday, local police told ABC News they also faced threats and negative blowback for arresting the suspect, as did the McDonald's where he was arrested.

CIS assessed it "highly likely that threats will continue to target [law enforcement] and other public offices participating in Mangione's case."

This is just sloppy reporting. CIS says cops and other officials will receive more threats, not that they will be in more danger. But it's 2024 and ABC is a major news outlet that depends on keeping the government and (especially) His Majesty happy to keep their ota broadcast license.

This reeks of propaganda trying to sway the "blue liners" away from support for the coming class war. It makes sense. The "cop feelings > children lives" set are violently stupid and (usually) well armed.

Gotta give it to corpo news and pigs: They got class conscience.

It would be both sad and pointless if people targeted the owner's capital defense force thugs (police) and bribed middle managers (judges/politicians).

That would muddy the waters needlessly and further the cause of the owner class of keeping us at each other's throats.

Our oligarchs whole thing is keeping us hostile towards one another. They don't care who kills who, kids killing kids, cops killing poor, poor killing cops/judges/politicians, all livestock killing livestock to them, big woop. They only freak out when someone they consider a person is killed, there's only 1 metric that determines that for them, and even most of their bought politicians don't qualify on net worth.

"Overwhelming bipartisan support for the attack" across social media "has resulted in several narratives encouraging similar violent activities directed at other healthcare executive teams,"

This assessment has got it all wrong. People don't want further acts of violence against healthcare executive teams. Or, I should say, not just healthcare executive teams. That thinking is far too narrow.

Haven't judges in general been extremely gentle with prosecutions involving Trump because of inordinate numbers of threats made to judges? And yet there's no effort made to stop it? And somehow, this represents an existential threat to the courts?

Police "investigate" citizens and it's fine, but we are targeting cops when we investigate them.

I don't see any reason to limit it to healthcare executives.

The Center for Internet Security (CIS), a nonprofit focused on cybersecurity that partners with government and law enforcement,

They're trying to sell their services by making shit up.

I wonder how many Luigis the 2nd trump presidency will create. I hope a lot. Call me whatever you want.....

Behind enemy lines folks

Is Hans finally figuring out that he might be the baddie...?

Why would I-uh-they... target police?

Police didn't deny no claims.

Which one of you has a link to the image file for that free Luigi flyer? Asking for a friend...

next they are goin to say anyone that supports luigi is a terrorist

what a great way to drum up support for more police funding and invasive practices

Fear from above is quite entertaining. Next up supporters of Brian Thompson seen with halo's and walking on water.

Oh gosh, wouldn't that be just the worst thing.

Shooting up courts and cops would accomplish very little. They're, well, made for that kind of opposition. The reason Mangione's attack has been so high-profile was because he picked a high-profile target that is NOT made for that kind of opposition. If he'd killed a cop or a judge, it'd've maybe caught an eye or two on the national news before fading away, and accomplished nothing besides. Anyone hauling off and killing a cop or a judge as an attempted copycat is just wasting their time, and their lives most like.

Just a bloodless observation, of course.

Hell yes. More please!

well if they're talking cyber only maybe i could see it, but the people working in our courts aren't part of the problem Luigi lashed out against.

Cops aren't rich.

If they don't get in the way of reclamation, they have nothing to worry about.

unlikely.
fearmongering maybe.
