Counterpoint - greedy bastard CEOs killing your relatives by denying healthcare they’ve been paying premiums for for years is inspiring violence.
Umm. It’s not Luigi inspiring violence.
How many other healthcare CEOs have been shot since then? None? Hardly inspiring then.
I think the black rock one, but that shooter was after the NFL and got the wrong floor
Let it be stated here, if I’m ever inspired to commit acts of violence it will be strictly because a Nazi is the richest man on earth and the only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.
This is such BS. There’s actually been a disturbing LACK of copy cats, and dead CEO’s.
There have been at least 2 more CEO killings recently. But mainstream media is deliberately not reporting on it, because it’d likely lead to even more. Don’t forget everything is owned and managed by the same groups of people.
No, the United Healthcare’s CEO inspired other CEOs to deny more claims, which has a MUCH higher death count.
This is harm reduction.
I’m late to this party but I always like to chip in on Luigi threads:
-
That other people were inspired to kill CEOs by this killing is irrelevant. I mean, it’s debatable that it’s true at all. But even if it were, that feels relevant only insofar as this is a jury trial - and thats not a bug of a jury trial, it’s a feature. Public sentiment doesn’t really get a say outside the 12 folks in the box.

There is a serious chain of evidence issue with the supposed murder weapon. Body cams are turned off, (improper) when Luigis bag is taken from him, and according to filings, that bag wasn’t searched until back at a local station over 30 minutes later. That strikes people as suspect as it’s outside normal procedure for cops, who would normally search a bag right away during the arrest. The cops were alone with that bag for 30 minutes prior to “finding” the gun. Most unbelievable, they expect us to believe that someone capable of this killing, and producing an inherently disposable 3D printed “ghost gun”, then failed to ditch it and carried it across state lines? He couldn’t find a garbage can to pitch it in over 24 hours later?

People say Luigi couldn’t be the adjuster because of the height/build difference between him and the security footage of Brian Thompsons shooting. I find this less convincing as the footage is extremely unclear. But I will say at the very least, nothing in that footage has been brought to my attention that supports Luigi being the shooter. No shill pundit or sweaty former prosecutor desperate for their 15 minutes has got on TV and said “See, here’s what the prosecution is going to point to to build their case.”
It would seem to me, that Luigi is a troubled young rich kid who wrote some critical, if meandering, things about his frustrations with US Healthcare, got accused by a McDonalds employee who was financially incentivized to see a suspect, had evidence planted by some cops hoping to catch this rising folk hero before anyone else got any ideas, and then got railroaded by the most corrupt DOJ since the Gilded Age.
I support the movement behind Mangione but come on, he clearly murdered that guy.
This movement and support should be focused on electing politicians to change laws. Killing CEOs really will not fix anything. Killing one roach does not mean you got rid of cockroaches.
Why is it so clear to you? Because he’s the one paraded in front of the populace? Politicians are not on your side, stop believing you can vote your way out of anything. Voting got you all the way here, how’s that been going for ya?

Luigi doesn’t inspire to kill anyone
CEOs inspire people to kill CEOs
I fuckin wish dude
Is he on trial for inspiring other people to commit violent acts? Is that one of the charges he is facing? No, He is on trial for murder. How other people respond to that is not his responsibility.
Additionally, he is still on trial. He has not been found guilty. So they are saying that something he may or may not have done is responsible for other people potentially doing something that they haven’t yet done.
What a bunch of irrelevant hogwash.
I would argue our shitty healthcare/corporate greed that has resulted in hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths and suffering is inspiring people to commit violent acts. Why else would someone do them?
Edit - missed a word
Millions of deaths. Hundreds of thousands of deaths a year. They are monsters that deserve what they get.
Your logic is precise and efficiently processed. An upvote of approval has been allocated.
Did they drop the terrorism charges or did I just misunderstand the clamor about it? Seems like their argument would be related to those charges, not that it’s a good argument.
You deserve this for your comment.
What’s inspiring violence is 95% of the world is being robbed by the other 5%.
How dare those filthy plebes get ideas about fighting back?!?
No proof of that at all. I haven’t heard of a single other healthcare ceo getting deleted.
My teacher said it was good to have aspirations and be inspiring.
If rich parasites have to fear for their lives then I don’t see that as a bad thing. I see it as nature aspiring to correct itself in an inspiring way!
Zero proof of that. Just scaremongering and sensationalized BS by prosecutors. I mean, wishful thinking and all, but still not real.
