    They are supressing all Luigi and health reform discussions. Threads look like Swiss cheese with half comments deleted and then thread end up outright nuked too.

    Anyone reading knows the deal. Class war won’t be televised and it won’t be won for a generation bit the working people are tired boss and some are taking notice which way the water flows.

      Everyone seems to forget reddit has its own despised ceo now …

      Granted the company is not doing harm with its actions like united healthcare, but the egos are large enough to see themselves as targets…

      Joel Michael Singer. You remember that douche that headbutted staff in a restaurant? Joel Michael Singer? Remember his Dad paid to have the video removed so that douche Joel Michael Singer’s reputation would be saved and we’d all forget that Joel Michael Singer is a piece of shit? Yeah.

        Also remember Brock Turner who raped an unconscious woman and only served three months in prison because his rich dad argued “prison is a steep price to pay for only 20 minutes of action”.

        And remember Ethan Couch who killed 4 while drunk driving and got away with a slap on the wrist because he argued his rich upbringing didn’t teach him that drunk driving and killing people had consequences.

        That is, Ethan the murder Couch and Brock the rapist Turner

          How about Chris Brown?

          "Brown looked at Robyn F. and stated, ‘I’m going to beat the sh-- out of you when we get home! You wait and see!’ "

          The detective said “Robyn F.” then used her cell phone to call her personal assistant Jennifer Rosales, who did not answer.

          "Robyn F. pretended to talk to her and stated, ‘I’m on my way home. Make sure the police are there when I get there.’

          "After Robyn F. faked the call, Brown looked at her and stated, ‘You just did the stupidest thing ever! Now I’m really going to kill you!’

          "Brown resumed punching Robyn F. and she interlocked her fingers behind her head and brought her elbows forward to protect her face. She then bent over at the waist, placing her elbows and face near her lap in [an] attempt to protect her face and head from the barrage of punches being levied upon her by Brown.

          "Brown continued to punch Robyn F. on her left arm and hand, causing her to suffer a contusion on her left triceps (sic) that was approximately two inches in diameter and numerous contusions on her left hand.

          "Robyn F. then attempted to send a text message to her other personal assistant, Melissa Ford. Brown snatched the cellular telephone out of her hand and threw it out of the window onto an unknown street.

          "Brown continued driving and Robyn F. observed his cellular telephone sitting in his lap. She picked up the cellular telephone with her left hand and before she could make a call he placed her in a head lock with his right hand and continued to drive the vehicle with his left hand.

          "Brown pulled Robyn F. close to him and bit her on her left ear. She was able to feel the vehicle swerving from right to left as Brown sped away. He stopped the vehicle in front of 333 North June Street and Robyn F. turned off the car, removed the key from the ignition and sat on it.

          "Brown did not know what she did with the key and began punching her in the face and arms. He then placed her in a head lock positioning the front of her throat between his bicep and forearm. Brown began applying pressure to Robyn F.'s left and right carotid arteries, causing her to be unable to breathe and she began to lose consciousness.

          "She reached up with her left hand and began attempting to gouge his eyes in an attempt to free herself. Brown bit her left ring and middle fingers and then released her. While Brown continued to punch her, she turned around and placed her back against the passenger door. She brought her knees to her chest, placed her feet against Brown’s body and began pushing him away. Brown continued to punch her on the legs and feet, causing several contusions.

          “Robyn F. began screaming for help and Brown exited the vehicle and walked away. A resident in the neighborhood heard Robyn F.'s plea for help and called 911, causing a police response. An investigation was conducted and Robyn F. was issued a Domestic Violence Emergency Protective Order.”
