Sick times

It’s not just Greenwich’s Taylor Lorenz who wants to see CEO’s assassinated. Every proper leftist from Elizabeth Warren to that crazed racist on The View have expressed support for the killing of Brian Thompson, and that’s to be expected, but the rot has metastasized downward into the lowest ranks of the wokists. Here are just three examples:
Fans of CEO slay suspect Luigi Mangione are actually tattooing his face on their bodies
Tattoo enthusiasts are not the only ones who have been caught celebrating the suspected murderer. Last week, Amazon was forced to remove merchandise sympathetic to the killer, including items emblazoned with the phrases “Deny Defend Depose” and “Free Luigi.”
During online retailers’ busy holiday season, gifts like glasses, tumblers, shirts and hats with “Deny Defend Depose” began popping up on websites like Amazon, TikTok and eBay even before Mangione had been identified as the suspect.
Backpack CEO blasted with trolls calling for his death after he told cops Luigi was using one of his bags
The founder of a high-end backpack company has been bombarded with vicious online abuse and death threats after providing police with a tip about murder suspect Luigi Mangione.
Peter Dering, CEO of Peak Design, said he and his employees have been targeted with terrifying messages after he contacted law enforcement about recognizing his company's bag in surveillance footage of the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Online trolls branded him a 'snitch,' some even calling for his execution and the downfall of his company after he admitted in a December 5 New York Times article that he contacted police immediately after seeing his product in images of the alleged shooter.
The bag, found stuffed with Monopoly money in Central Park, was linked to Mangione, the suspect in Thompson's killing.
Shocking online messages revealed the extent of the vitriol directed at Dering.
One X user warned: 'All CEOs are the same and deserve the same fate as Brian Thompson.'
Another made a chilling joke about a 'Closing sale event coming soon' for his company.
'Don't buy @peakdesignltd their CEO @dering_peter is a rat. #FreeLuigi,' yet another user chimed in.
The founder of a “socialist apparel” brand who has called online for the death of corporate executives is planning to sell a deck of cards of “most wanted CEOs” — complete with names and faces and decorated with illustrations of gun range targets.
Comrade Workwear founder James Harr announced the disturbing project just days after UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was executed on the streets of Midtown Manhattan.
He said it was inspired by the “most-wanted Iraqi” playing card decks famously distributed to US and coalition forces during the 2003 invasion of Iraq to help identify key targets in Saddam Hussein’s circle.
That deck helped soldiers “find and do what they needed to do” to those depicted, said Harr, whose social accounts are loaded with anti-capitalism posts and images including one reading “the CEO must die.”
He then blithely rattles off numerous A-list CEOs — whom The Post is choosing not to name — to be included in the deck, asking his combined 109,000 followers between Instagram and TikTok to help come up with more.
The comment thread below the Instagram post was flooded with praise from followers, who threw out scores of suggestions for other potential targets to feature in the deck, with many pledging to buy it as soon as it’s available for purchase.
Does it include addresses?” asked one commenter inquiring what information would be available on the cards.
“We need cards for good guys like Luigi [Mangione] too,” wrote another in reference to Thompson’s accused killer.
In a follow-up post on TikTok, Harr gleefully shows off preliminary design mock-ups of the deck, which he said will be separated into suits representing different industries.
Clubs, for instance, will include CEOs of pharmaceutical and chemical companies, Harr says in the video. Hearts will represent “things you need to survive” like retail and real estate; Diamonds will feature CEOs in “tech, finance and media” while spades will depict chief executives of companies involved in “oil and war.”
The reverse side of each card includes the words “most-wanted CEOs playing cards” and an image of a red human silhouette gun range target.
UnitedHealthcare and a number of other corporations have scrubbed the names of their top executives from their websites or marked their Wikipedia pages for deletion in the wake of Thompson’s murder.
The cards’ obverse sides feature a black-and-white close-up of each CEO’s face, with their name and affiliation, along with QR codes under the heading “why they’re evil,” which Harr says will lead to dedicated web pages outlining their apparent sins.
