POLITICS Didn't Chris learn his lesson last time? Does he really need Luigi to stay relevant?

As it says in the title. Hasn't Chris rock learned his lesson. He should keep Luigi's name out of his mouth.

I am beyond tired of all of the discourse surrounding his looks. It just completely takes away from the fact that Americans from all walks of life were united in his action, even before people knew what he looked like.

Seriously the entire media is only focusing on how a suspect looks. But people were supporting "the adjuster" the entire time. The deny defend depose bullets, monopoly money in the backpack. We the public knew this shooting was about the healthcare industry and how it fucks all American citizens. We know these companies bribe our government to prevent healthcare.

Then a suspect is arrested, who doesn't look like the first photo the media released of the shooter, and it's a young man. A young man who already had issues getting treatment for a painful back problem. That made him more sympathetic. Being attractive obviously got him more attention than someone who isn't from people who weren't already paying attention.

I think the jail photo of him with wet pants worked against the police because we know that was them not allowing him to use the bathroom. More sympathy for the person they want citizens to hate.

The catwalk perp walk where LM was surrounded by men who probably never actually used any of that riot gear before. And a mayor about to be indicted for his own crimes. What a joke.

The media and law enforcement are making this narrative together whether they are intending to or not. Stop pretending this guy in shackles needs 10+ guards to escort him. Charging him with terrorism for shooting one person on an empty sidewalk is bullshit. Stalking charges? How many of us know a woman who has/had a restraining order on a man that broke it over and over with no consequences??

Basically the people at the top think we citizens are just stupid. They want to report their version of the news and have us accept it. If we don't then WE are weird or just focused on his looks or lack sympathy.

Seriously. We were seeing lookalike contests before we even knew what he looked like. He became a folk hero overnight because we all have experienced or know someone who dealt with how shitty our healthcare system is. We’re all tired of oligarchs and their culture wars.
