Luigi Mangione is setting unrealistic male beauty standards.... not every man can be so hot that the New York Times deems their face an existential threat to the societal status quo...

law enforcement does nothing about death and rape threats, rarely gives stalking victims restraining orders, but when someone snaps at their massive corporation insurance company in a single moment of justified rage it's jail...under these conditions do they not expect people to eventually just snap
Briana Boston faces up to 15 years in jail for a sentence uttered in sheer frustration at a health "care" system that kills thousands of Americans per year. They are trying to cow us into inaction by throwing the book at this poor lady, who is not a threat to anyone whatsoever. #FreeBrianaBoston
