The media understands that giving him any exposure will make people think about his motives, and might generate similar acts from others. The best strategy to keep people from “looking up” instead of looking left/right is to not expose anyone to the idea.
it took them over a month to reorient the right wingers against luigi. also reddit was silencing the news early on around the time he got caught.
With that strategy, it makes you wonder why they relentlessly cover school shootings. (It could also be that they keep happening, and it's actually different every time)
Because school shootings are us fighting each other and not the rich.
The way school shootings get treated v Luigi case... Is very telling about what the regime really cares about
It working people crotch fruit that's for damn sure unless they are seeking another rape victim that is.
They glorify mass shootings to perpetuate more mass shootings. There are many mass shooters who cite other mass shooters as their reason to do a mass shootings. A lot of independent groups no longer show names or say the name of the perpetrator, only their victims, as a result of that trend.
Speaking of media coverage, notice how when an AR-15 is used they always state so, usually in the headline. A shooting with any other gun? Nah.
Remember the vet who went nuts in Maine and murdered a bunch of people? I had to dig to find what weapon he used. It was an AR-10. Know what an AR-10 is? Most folks have never heard of one. (It's basically an AR-15.)
Now why in the world would our billionaire media owners want to turn our opinion against the best multipurpose rifle in the world?
Anyway, what was the original post about?
Armalites have always been garbage. Get an ak
Oh buddy, hold on! You're about to get nuked for saying something positive about guns!
Edit: FWIW I agree entirely!
