The Assassination of MLK!

  NO. 1

 Martin Luther King. Jr, the famous civil rights leader, and the clergyman was assassinated at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee on April 4, 1968; he was rushed to St. Joseph’s Hospital where he ‘’died’’.  James Earl Ray, a fugitive who had escaped Missouri State Penitentiary was arrested in London at Heathrow Airport, extradited back to the United States, and charged with the crime, where he pleaded guilty on March 10, 1969, and sentenced to 99 years in Tennessee State Penitentiary. He made several attempts to withdraw his guilty plea and be tried by a jury but was unsuccessful. He died in prison in 1998. 

 The King family do not believe he was murdered at the hands of this common criminal, but that the F.B.I and C.I.A had their hands involved, especially the head of the F.B.I, director J. Edgar Hoover, the Mafia, and Memphis police, as alleged by Lloyd Jowers, the owner of Jim Grill, a restaurant near the Lorraine Motel where the civil rights leader was shot. They believed that Ray was a scapegoat. In 1999, the family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Jowers for $10 million. During closing arguments, their attorney asked the jury to award damages of $100, to make the point that ‘it was not about the money.’ During the trial, both sides presented evidence alleging a government conspiracy. The government agencies accused could not defend themselves or respond because they were not named as defendants. 

Based on the evidence, the jury concluded Jowers and others were ‘’part of a conspiracy to kill King’’ and awarded the family of $100. The allegations and the findings of the Memphis jury were later rejected by the U.S Department of Justice in 2000 due to lack of evidence. ‘’The brutal death of the civil rights leader elicited a political reaction manifest in social disturbances across the nation. Numerous riots and lesser civil disturbances occurred as a direct aftermath of the killing. Several explanations for the disturbances appear obvious. The best--known civil rights leader in the nation had been murdered. For many, King had become a symbol of progressive change in policies concerning race relations and poverty. The killing also occurred within the context of increased interracial tension. More widespread rioting, looting, and burning--although less personal violence--took place in the prior summer than at any other time since the Civil War. Finally, diverse modes of political participation among African-Americans had emerged on a fairly massive scale. [I] argue that the assassination was a stimulus that led individuals to an emotional disengagement from the realm of political behavior. What I term political disengagement occurs when normally positive and latent diffuse sentiments toward the political system and its elements become negative.’’

I hate to say it: Maybe if Luigi carried food instead of monopoly money he wouldn't have needed to go to a restaurant.

Luigi is not a terrorist: The CEO PERSONALLY wronged him. This is a classic case of fuck around find out.

If someone I never met shoves me at a bar and we get into a bar fight, they can't turn around and claim some other motive but the shoving. Luigi was put through physical pain by this CEO and this is what you get as a result.

Just a reminder that the United Healthcare stock didn't crash and therefore the CEO's large paycheck was feudalistic theft.

He had the hood, now only if there was a conveniently placed hay bale for him to jump into from one of the buildings. Then law enforcement would have simply forgotten about him.

Now this is a instance of non toxic masculinity: A CEO assassin that gets caught because he couldn't resist hitting on a woman.

I bet a consequence of this shooting will be employers taking their employees guns when they work. What are the odds that Republicans show any sort of backlash to this?

Could you imagine if the assassin gets a jury acquittal and just shows up to the Joe Rogan podcast and there's debate about banning his accounts from social media and he gets in a Twitter feud with Elon Musk. That's the wild timeline I want to live in.

Someone make this a conspiracy theory.
