I mean, I'd love to send him something except I don't want to be on a watch list.

Someone else mentioned a watch list to me. Who's list would you be on, and who would have access to it?

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I think it's just assumed that government authorities are taking the info of people who make public statements of support for Mangione and putting them under increased scrutiny.

No, like everybody willing to pass their name through the prison's mail system.

Eh. If you're on your death bed and haven't been on at least one watch list, can you really be said to have lived at all?

Someone needs to knit that on a throw pillow.

I’ve assumed that since bush 2 anything anti capitalist, anti imperialist, anti fascist puts you on a list. What list? Who knows.

With the advance of technology these days I think the “list” is more plausible than ever.

And then you know, snowdens leaks pretty much stated that the NSA is spying domestically without warrants.

It's more likely that the idea of a "watch list" is obsolete at this point. Now they create elaborate records and psychological profiles of every person they can, domestically or abroad. They also likely track everyone's physical location as close to real time as possible.

Maybe that's how they actually caught Luigi. They caught him because they know everyone's physical location at all time. They just had to rewind the clock back a bit, see who was standing near Thompson at the moment of the shooting, and they instantly knew it was him.

Don't send nudes. The prison censors won't give them to him. They wont even tell him he got some. 🥺

So you're saying if someone were to say take pictures of their asshole and such, some one working the prison would have to examine it?

Is it me or is that not a lot? I saw the address for mail and donations posted everywhere for a few days. For all the hype, out of a nation of millions he got <100 letters and <200 donations?

Don't get me wrong, that's more than what a normal inmate gets but it really isn't that many.

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Maybe more got rejected because they had nudes or something unacceptable in them

My parents are pretty left wing but they're definitely in the "killing CEOs bad" crowd.

While I'm here coming up with recipes for when we finally get to eat the rich

The proper way to cook billionaire is via rotisserie over an open flame. Don't power the rotisserie through a simple motor. Rather, have the spit be turned by human power. Specifically, the labor of another billionaire. Cook one billionaire and force another to walk a giant hamster wheel to turn the spit. The one on the tread wheel today goes on the spit tomorrow.
