If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Yes it is. So what. The rich glorifies violence against the poor.
The leader of the country once said: "When the looting starts, the shooting starts"
So if its apparantly okay to use violence against alledged thieves (which is not okay btw, stealing should never equate a death sentence), then it must be okay to use violence against mass murderer CEOs.
"When the denying starts, the deposing starts" would be my rebuttal to that phase the ex-president said. Violence begets violence.
You get points for honesty, at least. Most people in here don't even admit this is a call for violence.
It certainly doesn't state it explicitly. It just says that the killer was the "first to face it" that way that implies that there is a possibility for more but the way I understood it was that current measures being taken aren't enough, that doesn't mean that other people wanting to take action should do so violently.
It also calls them parasites in the plural sense, as justification for it needing to be done.
The reason violence against "looters" is permitted stems from their violation of the principles of the American caste system
Contrary to popular belief, you are not allowed to pull yourself up by your own bootstraps. You are only allowed to help yourself when you've received lending permission from a state recognized philanthropic sponsor. Otherwise, you are supposed to quietly drown in your own filth, where it isn't inconvenient for anyone higher on the totem pole than you.
The caste system is sacred. Brian Thompson earned his position. Luigi Mangione deserved his miserable fate.
I like that you put "looters" in quotes. After hurricane Katrina, the news would show "looters" and "people trying to survive," taking food items from grocery stores. I wonder what the difference was?
the difference
Skin hueYes, people were also taking electronics, but for food?
I believe there were a number of people accused of robbing stories when they were actually evacuating them from rising floodwaters. But, again, that boiled down to skin tone.
Probably.
Robots need to eat too
most CEOs don't murder, even the health insurance ones simply are committing theft analogs, simply not funding healthcare, not preventing those than can independently afford it from accessing it.
That was some fascist cop in Miami in the 60's. Not the leader of any country.

So copycats are now the authors of the things they copy? Whatever. This phrase had meaning as evidence of fascism in the US in the 1960's but now it's just another dumb, easily forgettable trump thing. Congrats, history is erased and now you got another trumpism! Wow!
The police chief may have coined the phrase, but the president still used it.
Yay! You won a pedant point. Now you can flush the original down your brand new trump toilet! Oh boy! You won!
