From Reddit to the New York Times and TMZ, there’s an ongoing effort to squash the wave of popular anger at for-profit healthcare that Luigi Mangione represents.

    Let’s be clear here for a second:

    Assuming Luigi did what he’s accused of, then he is a murderer and a vigilante, and both are bad things that you do NOT want in a healthy society and in any normal moral society his ass should belong in jail

    Luigi is like Batman. You don’t want a (or multiple) vigilante justice warriors rummaging around your cities. They’ll play their own judge, jury and executioner and it’s all but guaranteed that innocent people will suffer. Take a look at the pedo hunter gangs that just keep hurting innocent people whilst ensuring real pedophiles stay out of jail because, well, most of them are just plain dumb and taint or destroy real evidence whilst fabricating whatever stupidity because, again, they’re dumb and just looking for sensation clicks, money.

    You don’t want any of that in a normal functional and moral society.

    Having said that…

    The USA is a corrupt third world shit hole that only cares about the rich. If you’re rich, laws no longer apply to you, which has been proven over and over and over and over. And over. … And over.

    Take a look at Elmo Musk. You buy votes, don’t go to jail, don’t even get called out for it by anyone who could do something about it. You’re right you do whatever the fuck you want.

    Take a look at Cheeto Trump: you plan and execute an insurrection and for four years nobody does anything. Four fucking years, you cannot tell me you couldn’t nail the fucker, but nobody did anything

    Take large corporations that cheat and break laws like there is no tomorrow on a daily level. At best they’ll get a small fine that is a fraction of the fortune they gathered by breaking the laws continuously.

    So yeah… I don’t want violence, I don’t want vigilantes, but it’s not like there are many other choices left if you want to stay safe.

    Luigi is not the man anybody wants, but right now, Luigi is the man the USA needs.

    Free Luigi!

        I think the most enthused luigi supporter would happily trade the United CEO’s slaying for HEALTHCARE THAT ACTUALLY CARED FOR PEOPLE’S HEALTH.

        It’s not like there’s a crowd outside screaming for blood, just fucking blood.

        No, they want the healthcare they paid for - for decades in most cases - healthcare they invested in - to actually CARE FOR THEIR HEALTH.

        So no, we don’t want this, but it’s the outcome we’re fucking left with.

        Acting like it’s the public’s bloodlust to hurt poor innocent ceo’s is ridiculous.
