Gentle reminder that they almost definitely planted evidence on Luigi and arrested him to distract from the fact that the real UHC shooter got away with killing a billionaire. One of us successfully killed a billionaire and one of us could successfully do it again

It bears repeating:

Luigi Mangione is innocent.

He's innocent by law until proven guilty. He's to be treated as innocent by everyone, including leftists. Celebrating him for the killing of Beian Thompson is still associating him with a murder he has not committed.

And even if he is found guilty by law, doesn't mean he did it. The US has a long history of convicting people for murder (sometimes getting the death penalty) on very shaky evidence if any, obviosly forced confessions and lying cops. Additionally juries are selected towards the verdict the prosecutions wants. Jury nullification is not going to happen. Neither the police nor the court are to be trusted.

Luigi Mangione is innocent. Legally and ethically.

If you're pro-death penalty but anti-Luigi, then you believe that the ruling class should decide who lives and who dies.

If your support for the death penalty was actually motivated by the belief that some people cause so much harm to others that killing them is the only way to keep society safe, then you'd be as pro-Luigi as a person can get.

Something I find very interesting about this CEO assassination is that the guy who did it has basically become an American hero.

They're probably quite worried about what will happen when they catch this guy, especially with the level of public support he has. If they catch him alive and he gets to air his grievances, he could unite the entire country against the private healthcare system. It could go to trial and result in jury nullification, which would basically send a message to the American public that catching a rich body comes without consquences.

If they kill him to keep his mouth shut, I'd say people will burn cities to the ground, and it could potentially provoke even more anger against private health insurance. In a powder keg, it only takes one person lighting the match.

I know it sounds over the top, but a figurehead is a powerful thing, and that's what this shooter is. The rich understand it. That's why Blue Cross just magically decided they were going to pay for anesthesia again. Those dead-eyed psychopaths were going to take everything they could until someone shot that guy and that's the gospel truth.

Keep the hate fire burning. Watching their fear is the closest I've come to knowing joy since the Bush administration.

“here’s what we know about the uhc shooter”

WRONG! He is a suspect and we should treat him as such. He should be treated as innocent until proven guilty, not guilty until proven innocent. He’s a person of interest not the killer. I don’t care what the media or authorities are saying, he’s a human being who deserves a fair trial and deserves to be treated as innocent until proven otherwise.

Brian Thompson was not a mass murderer. Denying claims is not the same as murder. He was a CEO in a company that had a board of directors, it was highly unlikely he even had a hand in deciding which claims to deny. You're acting like he was sitting in a room with a stamp looking over each individual claim deciding which person he wanted to die.

That is fucking ludicrous.

"bootlickers." Being called a bootlicker by someone who thinks insurance not covering every claim that comes through is akin to mass murder is like being called a Nazi by someone who thinks Hamas is a group of resistance fighters. I.e. it's meaningless. Especially since you ignored the part where I was specifically against murder, but was advocating for doing things that actually helped. You are not entitled to being able to murder someone just cuz you can use mental gymnastics to paint them as the second coming of Osama Bin Laden, you freak.

Also, for your tags? My step-dad beat me regularly, mother fucker. I absolutely had abusive parents. The only parent I trusted is my mother, who never laid hands on me. Don't assume shit about my past just cuz I pointed out that your parents are shitty if they don't help you just cuz you're an adult. I survived abuse, CSA, and relentless bullying from those around me. I have more empathy for people who went through shit like I did in my pinky than you have in your entire body. So fuck off with this bullshit of acting like I'm saying "oh, it's not the health insurance system's fault, it's your fault for not having good parents." Cuz that's not even close to what I said.

Pulling strawmen out of your ass is not an argument, fuckwad.

Honestly one of the main reasons to assume Luigi Mangione was framed by the NYPD is that the UHC shooter not only had no reason to carry around a manifesto, he had no reason to even write a manifesto. He said his piece loud and clear with the bullet casings and the monopoly money. Everyone understood it and the shooter knew that would be the case.
