As a British lad, I’ve been keeping tabs on the news about this guy and the wide support he’s getting.

With so much support, surely the public will get him out of jail just to spite the bastard rich kids and their CEO baron fathers?

The Man who was shot allowed a massive corporation to dangle its strings over people’s lives, medication being pulled away which is horrifying to me who uses the NHS as my primary medical service for hearing.

What do you think? Will Luigi “The CEO Reaper” Mangione ever get out of prison?

      No idea, I don’t know any CEOs. I’m disappointed you seem to think that a job title disqualifies someone from the right to life, the right not to be murdered.

          If you’re claiming this guy (a human being with a family, and friends, and children) “murdered” people, you are either delusional or (more likely) twisting logic to breaking point in order to justify your own advocacy of cold-blooded murder.

            Just because there’s a few steps between your decision and someone’s death doesn’t mean your decision didn’t cause their death.

              It’s murder if it’s against the law. If you think whatever the CEO did should be against the law, maybe you should work on that instead.

                Morally it’s murder either way. Just because you found a legal loophole doesn’t make it not murder morally. There tons of actions that are legal but are morally reprehensible.

                  Of course. The problem is that morality is subjective, which is why we have laws instead of anyone being allowed to kill whomever they consider morally reprehensible.

              Better hope nobody starts making such complex calculations about you and deciding that it’s therefore time for you to be shot dead in the street.

                It’s not a complex calculation. He regularly traded other people’s lives for his own money.

                The thing is, unlike that shithead CEO, I presume, neither of us have actually made decisions to kill masses of people so that we can make ourselves so rich that getting 100k every day for 30 years wouldn’t reach their wealth.

                  You make it sound so simple. It’s not. It’s complex. This guy was a cog in a system that we are all part of, that we are all responsible for. To blame him personally is transparent scapegoating. To gun him down while he walks in the street is, well, what it is: blatant, inexcusable, first-degree murder. Deep down, I’m sure you know that all this is true.

                    Cog? The guy was the CEO of the insurance company with the highest denial rates in the industry. He wasn’t subject to this system he was actively designing and lobbying for it.
