I’m sure MLK would be THRILLED at this being done in his name.

Everyone is too busy downplaying the “vehicular accident with an individual” and covering their asses to even think about what this says of the Reverend Martin Luther King’s legacy.

The mayor won’t even say his name.

Wasn't criminalizing poverty enough?

No they are working up the final solution... To the problem they created.

Then they wonder why people think that Luigi did nothing wrong.

Seems like a good case to rally people against that sort of practice

I wonder how many weeks until a bunch of protesters get mowed down. Certainly police are itching for the opportunity to start openly killing.

Looking at the title, it’s weird how the bulldozer did the killing. Maybe we should put a person in charge of running them so this doesn’t happen?

Media just gearing up for when the bulldozers are autonomous and it’s a “tragedy” that “nobody could have predicted”

This would be considered a war crime if it happened to a Western civillian in a combat zone.

(Edit: Unless that westerner's name is Rachel Corrie and she was attempting to protect Palestinians.)

Daddy ain't got to worry about damaging her property.

That's just how things be, boy

They should arrest the bulldozer driver like they did Luigi ....
