on a personal level this is hella cringe but from a social perspective i love this so much

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 67 points 1 day ago

It's almost going to be disappointing if we find out he was framed

[-] bigschnitz@lemmy.world 42 points 1 day ago

You mean that what appeared to be a meticulously planned and masterfully executed assassination, such that there was little to no usable camera footage wasn't likely to be undone the perp wandering around with a written confession and the murder weapon days later?

I'm shocked there haven't been more conspiracy theories on this.

[-] newDayRocks@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

You need a second such incident for the conspiracy to work. Because the implication is that the real saint is out there working his miracles.

[-] bitwolf@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago

Agreed. I always wondered how two different backpacks came into the picture.

And it would explain the drones in the tristate as they could be useful for finding the suspect.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 36 points 1 day ago

It would be the worst kind of mindfuck for him if he was just some radical centrist tech bro who got framed of a crime, sanctified in the public opinion, and then proven to be innocent. Like that's the shit therapists' accountants dream of

Guilty or not, convicted or not... He is just a symbol either way.

This is about the corruption within US systems esp health insurance.

[-] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

You know, I feel like the thousands of people thirsting after him would be a pretty good ego boost at least. Enough to make up for the psychological torture of being framed? Probs not, buuuuuutttt...

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 144 points 2 days ago

He was arrested for US healthcare's sins.

People are unironicaly going to use him in religion in the future.

He's more sainty than most christian saints. St Benedicts "miracle":

Book 2 of the Dialogues of Pope Gregory is about St. Benedict, and chapter 1 is titled “How he made a broken sieve whole and sound”:

It fell so out that his nurse borrowed of the neighbors a sieve to make clean wheat, which being left negligently on the table, by chance it was broken in two pieces, Whereupon she fell pitifully weeping, because she had borrowed it. The devout and religious youth Benedict, seeing his nurse so lamenting, moved with compassion, took away with him both the pieces of the sieve, and with tears fell to his prayers; and after he had done, rising up he found it so whole, that the place could not be seen where before it was broken.

https://blog.plover.com/religion/st-benedict.html#:~:text=Book%202%20of%20the%20Dialogues,where%20before%20it%20was%20broken.

So Benedict fixed a collander by crying on it and earned sainthood for it. Clearly none of us is worthy to behold such holiness as that. You couldnt make this flaming garbage up if you tried.

[-] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 29 points 1 day ago

If he is a catholic then I pray that he becomes a legit saint for what he did.
