Brian Thompson Murder

[barnhart]

The odd things here are...his "populism" was one of landed gentry, 4th generation folks, 40K private ed prep school, and Ivy League diplomas. On top of that, a weird mix of antiwoke antiDEI along with climate radicalism and anticapitalism. And all that probably secondary to his own personal story and grievances...

This was my critique of the "We are the 99%" movement. They raised some good points but the majority of the 99% were working every to make ends meet and couldn't afford the luxury of prolonged protest. The real people they needed to organize were the bike riders delivering pizzas to feed them. In the end it was the 5% protesting the wealth and privilege of the 1%, which is a less catchy slogan.

The support for the shooter must be significant if the PA governor has to come out against it publicly.

The McDonald's restaurants in the area are all getting swamped with negative reviews due to the employee who called police on the shooter.

Have other unsolved murders in NYC been pursued with this many resources?

Or only murders of the wealthy and powerful?

Nope and yep. Lots of things can be true at the same time.

The Jordan Neely case was pursued with alacrity,

This quote from the Governor is worth considering and I wish it could get more mileage around the country.

“But I have no tolerance, nor should anyone, for one man using an illegal ghost gun to murder someone because he thinks his opinion matters most,” he continued. “In a civil society, we are all less safe when ideologues engage in vigilante justice.”

This is democracy gone bad. I wish I had hopes of good democracy returning to the USA in the future.

Personal accounts do not point to a murderous hot head.
i wonder if he was given narcotics for severe back pain and flipped out?
Nothing in the videos indicates severe back pain.

Madness.

i wish people would put 2+2 together and return fathers to their roles in nuclear families.
The state is failing.

Babies do not arrive civilized. It’s a process of years/decades for humans to mature into healthy adults.
The state is no replacement for dedicated parents.

The vigilanti spirit seems to be with us. Shooting people to express your rage is not a form of democracy.

Can anyone explain why Mangione's "high profile" relatives didn't let law enforcement know who the murderer was? I think they would have seen his photo in the news. Maybe they did, but I didn't hear anything to that effect.
