what these execs do to the American public is more worth of a terrorism charge than anything mangione ever did.
Did any of them repent of their sins against humanity?
Imagine how bad a bodyguard you are to take that job.
So how many of the execs said, “This job isn’t worth risking my life for” and quit? How many of them said, “Maybe we should examine how we do business and change.”? How many of them said, “My God. We’re killing people. I’m out.”?
Nah if literally murdering people for profit didn’t stop them then really nothing will. These people are sociopaths that only see the career ladder.
In one of the stock trading platform’s social side, the page on United Healthcare still have some people who thinks that UH is still a great investment opportunity and believes in it. I don’t know if it is astroturfing, or some people are openly admitting they are assholes and don’t care about investing in an evil company. Or some are coping to justify putting money after all that happened.
Exec: Hey Claude, are we killing people?
ClaudeAI: Yes.
Exec: Are you sure? I think were doing great things for them, i don’t see it as killing
ClaudeAI: Of course you aren’t, you’re doing great things!
They’ll do anything to save themselves except for stop being evil.
those golden parachutes awaiting them is just too addicting.
All these news reports saying that Luigi killed a guy or used a 3D printed gun. As far as I know, Luigi did none of those things and that that is for the courts to decide. Further, I’ve seen plenty of posts online of people saying that he was at the bar with them when the whole thing happened.
He was with me shooting skeet at that time.
I live in Belfast and I’m positive I seen him buying drinks in the red devil pub at that exact time. Right gerry?
allegedly killed CEO Brian Thompson. Let’s not forget that rather important bit.
Sounds like Luigi’s perceived actions created jobs and fostered better health for the community at large.
Someone put this man in government
Oof he isn’t convicted but the media isn’t saying “allegedly” in headlines for him. Shows how they’re trying to sway public opinion.
Defense has brought it up multiple times already, it’s biasing the jury pool
Was it supposed to be a direct quote from the DA? Even if so, it shouldn’t be in the headline.
That’s actually very surprising - it starts with “DA says” which is presumably their defamation defense, but usually the lawyers wouldn’t let that pass.
Maybe there are no editors left working at BI. This was three days ago

Well, I’m sure their new AI editors will protect them against defamation lawsuits going forward…
Public opinion is already swayed. Luigi Mangione has become a symbol to a lot of people and as such the super-rich want to punish him.
I bet they are more scared of the symbol than they are of the thought that Mangione is innocent and the real shooter might still be free and plotting another hit.
The “real shooter” would only be one person, but a symbol has the power to create 10 or 100 more or to spark a violent rebellion and that they can’t let happen.
Innocent or not, it’s unfortunately Luigi Mangione they need punished in the most horrific and exemplar way possible.
I guess he’s not getting a fair trial, they’ll have to jury nullify the shit out of it.
When the public makes you a meme for assassination and substitutes your first name for the word “assassinate”, I’m going to give them a pass on dropping the “allegedly”.
If the public were swayable, they wouldn’t be talking about “luigiing” people.
Your pass is worthless
He can sue them for defamation if he wants. Legally he is innocent right now.
If that’s terrorism then what do we call the death and pain caused by pursuit of profits?
If they want to have a discussion about labels, it’s not gonna go well in front of a jury.
At every step defense should be asking the jury:
If you had been killed, would this be happening? Why are lives valued differently
Social murder. It’s a term originally used by Friedrich Engels nearly 200 years ago, yet still relevant today. Essentially it’s indirect deaths caused by capitalism. Gives some plausible deniability to the likes of United Healthcare because it’s much easier to obfuscate the reason behind somebody’s death when the cause was neglect or denial of life saving care.
Free enterprise, just like the Atlantic slave trade and the genocide of the Indians.
… what do we call the death and pain caused by pursuit of profits?
The term I’ve heard for this is social murder:
… an unnatural death that is believed to occur due to social, political, or economic oppression, instead of direct violence.
I couldn’t figure out what was noteworthy about a bodyguard dying their hair…
“Luigi Mangione killed CEO Brian Thompson”
Objection, baseless speculation.
Why? Have they done something to make them feel like they were a target?
what defendant considered a deadly greed-fueled cartel," Seidemann wrote.
I mean, what are they, then?
Parasites who deserve to be tossed in a vat of acid?
Every individual word is true, that is the dystopian reality we live in, but even when true they’re depending on it sounding too conspiratorial and therefore not credible. The nerve of these people.
