    This is so dumb—watch the video! The whole joke was that “Bumble exploded”—would someone who didn’t know Luigi Mangione is popular make that joke?

      Note that for Weekend Update, Colin Jost and Michael Che write the jokes for each other, and they don’t see them until they’re reading them live.

    The hero we deserve is pretty popular. Who woulda thought. I do not advocate his method. I simply like that people feel represented.

      I would never advocate his method as a first option, but it’s not like the healthcare companies just now started hurting people. Lots of people over lots of time, eventually that distills into one shot of very strong liquor

        Yep. How many decades are people supposed to wait while they see that their votes never get them any sort of change no matter which of the two corporatist parties who take money from that industry are in charge? If voting and protesting doesn’t work, what option is left?

        At least Mangione did something, and he did it at great personal sacrifice.

        I do advocate his methods. I hope he inspires many more heroes. I hope 2025 is the year of many more dead parasites.

    He appeared shocked because he’s joking about being shocked, which often includes “appearing shocked.”

    shocked

    Omg huffpo, that wasn’t shocked. That was Jost knowing exactly what would happen.

    They got me with their clickbait this time 😢

    The first video was a response from the police maybe? Calling anyone who defended his murder as vile. Am I vile for thinking that the leader of a corporation that chooses to deny life saving care for share holders dying is a good thing for the lives of many? Maybe it’s not a proper societal action… Barbaric even… But why don’t they say the same thing when it’s someone’s loved one who is being denied care? Or, better yet, the tens of thousands who have been denied?

      He said “you are wooing for justice, right?” in a joking manner. The article is just clickbait.
