Sam literally said Lennon was a symbol of peace, just not the leader of a movement. Which is just true. John and Yoko sang that song plenty of times. You remember that day in particular because there was also a movement, not just the symbol. Dude lived another 13 years, almost making it into Reagan's time staining the Oval Office.

It's ridiculous, I know. Personally, I don't think a person deserves sympathy because they were a husband and father. I know of plenty of husbands/fathers that aren't worth remembering.
I've noted that the health insurance industry response hasn't been a reconsideration of consumer rates and care eligibility but instead to buy enhanced security for CEOs. (And scrubbing websites of company officials names).

The people who mourn are a community who cared about that person. The CEO never had that bc of who he was and what he did. That’s on HIM and him alone.

A more apt comparison is to Gambino crime family boss Paul Castellano, who, in 1985, was murdered 10 blocks from where Thompson was killed. Both were "organized crime" CEOs...

Distorting or entirely removing context is paramount to corporate media, to the point that the people who can succeed in that milieu genuinely seem to regard it as a prerequisite to morality.
The people who leave flowers for a victim of violence typically feel kinship of some kind with that person. They may be members of the same class. Or they share a love of music, peace or equality for all. They may come out of gratitude, as they did for Diana and FDR. Often poor, they nevertheless bring flowers if only a single rose. Nothing prevents other CEOs, healthcare executives and rich investors from leaving flowers. This is a class of people who can easily afford flowers and could hire someone to deliver them if they are busy or afraid. But, there are no flowers for Thompson. What that REALLY says is this: Fellow members of his predatory class of capitalists have no empathy for him. They valued him only for the money he brought them. When elites rail against his murder--or send someone to do it for them--it's not because they care about Thompson. Being narcissists, they care only about themselves and worry that, as a woman warned, they may be next.
I don't recall George Floyd or John Lennon being responsible for the death, suffering, and misery of thousands through denial of claims!
These same media goons would not hesitate to tell you that George Floyd was denying insurance claims when he had the knee on his neck.
This was literally a CNN talking point. John Zmirak is still worse.
Yeah pretty sure Heather heyer was marching against nazis, i can't believe he compared Thompson to any of these murders

His memorial has been denied, delayed or deposed. Oops!!!
wow goddamn that's straight up insane in the membrane, as the saying goes.
"I don't believe in murder..its antisocial"😂😂😂😂
These people are insane. People die everyday in our country and others very needlessly and they never get all this attention
Nah, it’s not the same. I didn’t want George Floyd or John Lennon to die.
💯
These people are deranged. This is the reception circuit's version of edgy online posting.
Emma, thank you for continuing to use your voice for good in spite of the vile things people spew
I remember the constitution , back in the day even Richard Nixon finally respected it. The world's a toilet now , enjoy.
This is the same guy who decided Roger Waters was anti-Semitic for his criticism of Israel.
Please don't mention Kyle Rottenhouse 😂
I mean... A Christmas Carol made it *abundantly* clear why no one would mourn the death of a pre-ghosts Ebenezer Scrooge
Distorting or entirely removing context is paramount to corporate media, to the point that the people who can succeed in that milieu genuinely seem to regard it as a prerequisite to morality.
How distanced are the media from the general population? Think of the distance between the aristocracy and peasants before the French revolution.
It’s more like Bin Laden
The people who leave flowers for a victim of violence typically feel kinship of some kind with that person. They may be members of the same class. Or they share a love of music, peace or equality for all. They may come out of gratitude, as they did for Diana and FDR. Often poor, they nevertheless bring flowers if only a single rose. Nothing prevents other CEOs, healthcare executives and rich investors from leaving flowers. This is a class of people who can easily afford flowers and could hire someone to deliver them if they are busy or afraid. But, there are no flowers for Thompson. What that REALLY says is this: Fellow members of his predatory class of capitalists have no empathy for him. They valued him only for the money he brought them. When elites rail against his murder--or send someone to do it for them--it's not because they care about Thompson. Being narcissists, they care only about themselves and worry that, as a woman warned, they may be next.
