Brian Thompson Killing

There's an urban legend Carlsberg hooked up a beer pipe to Niels Bohr's house after he won the Nobel prize. Maybe you just gotta do that.

Carlsbergs an awful beer

 

[Rubashov]

I have often fantasized about having a butter chicken pipe coming to my house from local Indian restaurants. The stuff I make is good, but because I don't have a tandor, I can't really get the chicken and naan to perfection. Lamb pasanda is a fairly new discovery of mine, one place it's almost like butter chicken only with lamb, obviously, the stuff I got Tuesday has a lot of comin in it - I'm actually going to get it hotter next time, it seems like the heat won't distract from the flavor.

Anyway. Yes, I could murder a curry.

You both chose poorly. Lamb Korma is the food of the gods.

I view this like video games. Is there a small very tiny subset of the population for whom something like sexual frustration and maybe video game images can become part of the complex and varied tapestry that leads them to commit crimes like this? Sure, I don't doubt it. But no ****ing way it represents some massive movement that will destroy society as we know it or in no way is it big enough to warrant massive changes in society to derail a mass-killer creation pipeline of some kind. I just don't buy it. You know how many sexually repressed teens there are in Utah for ****'s sake? We should be drowning in the blood of all the mass murders in the state if that's the driving factor. Hell I'd argue that probably 90% or more of boys and men between the ages of 14 and 30 would call themselves at least somewhat sexually frustrated, or have endured years of frustration before or between their sexually fulfilling relationships. No way that is a primary driver that we can in any way do anything meaningful to mitigate. And if we did they'd find something else to help them channel their mental illness and rage into violence. Just check out EWU on YouTube and it's surprising how many people commit these crimes who are in relationships or even fathers or have girlfriends. Sorry but this is not the silver bullet. It's one thread in the fabric of some of their lives that might contribute to it. For a very few I'm sure it is the primary driver. But how do you use this info to weed out the 1 from the 10 million who is actually going to act on it? Stupid. Can't be done.

I don’t disagree. But I think these thoughts are originating from interviews with people who knew the guy very well. One roommate in Hawaii mentioned it as something that was an issue, that his back issues interfered with his sex life. I would not draw a one to one relationship of no sex=kill someone, and I don’t know if there is really a connection in this instance, but looking for motivations seems to have caused this issue to develop as a theory for motivation.

And, boy, does this headline ever run with it! Geez..

How a Freak Accident Turned Luigi Mangione Into Vengeful Murder Suspect

The shocking story behind the suspect accused of shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

“It was really traumatic and difficult, you know, when you’re in your early twenties and you can’t, you know, do some basic things,” Martin added in an interview with CNN.

He said Mangione’s back injury was so painful he was unable to have sex, explaining: “He knew that dating and being physically intimate with his back condition wasn’t possible. I remember him telling me that and my heart just breaks.”

Uhh, Carlsberg is probably the best lager in the world. Probably.

This post is probably the most serious post in the world.

Probably

I remember being in Hong Kong drinking terrible Carlsberg beers laughing our asses off at the label on the beer that I might mistakenly remember as saying "quite possibly" instead of "probably" the best lager in the world.

We ran through a list of things that "quite possibly" might be true if the **** beer we were drinking was in fact "quite possibly" the best lager in the world.
