Current Events > did people here actually defend luigi mangione?

(+) Yeah! (+)

turns out he was divorced and separated from his family too

Is being an anti woke fan of Peter thiel and Elon musk a bad look for mangione? Maybe he isn't someone to aspire to?

Idk, was that guy Kyle killed in the middle of committing any sex crimes?

The thing that you always conveniently ignore in these topics is that there was and are NO legal or peaceful methods that people can employ to actually get people like Brian Thompson to un-fuck the healthcare industry, or punish him for literally profiting off the deaths of thousands.

And for god's sake don't go "But Luigi came from money, he could've joined the industry and fixed it from the inside!" or "he could've started a charity!" again.

Actually I apologize, I read that post and for some unknown thought it was by the TC. My mistake. I don't think you're actually doing free Russian propaganda.

You got more people defending him now than you did back then.

i do find it funny how a lot of media outlets were like "but... but he had a family! he was a person also!!"

then how about the millions of people who lost family and friends cause they were denied coverage for treatments or medicine? are they not people as well?? or do only rich people matter?? smh

Its not on Luigi to mete out that justice.

No worries. Sorry for the snarky response.

oh really? i didn't know this actually...

The slain UnitedHealthcare CEO had a criminal record for drunk driving and was secretly separated from his wife for years before he was shot dead in Manhattan on Wednesday, according to public records. Minnesota court filings show that in 2017 Brian Thompson was arrested and convicted on charges of fourth-degree driving while impaired, for which he received probation.

Based on property records, voter registration forms, and reports from neighbors, Brian and Paulette Thompson had lived in different homes less than a mile apart in Maple Grove, Minnesota, for the past several years,

The UnitedHealthcare CEO who was shot and killed in New York was accused of insider trading and fraud in a lawsuit filed earlier this year, according to court documents.

There aren't even any illegal ways.

Again, people don't care about who these people are. Where did Kyle Rittenhouse kill a convicted sex offender? During a protest regarding Black Lives Matter. You're not understanding how people think. Rittenhouse didn't just kill a convicted sex offender. He killed someone protesting the police brutality

Remember just a few months ago when you got a time out for defending somebody with a post history of defending Nazi Germany

He was in the middle of committing violent ones. Not sex ones, but... yeah.

That's a cop out. Killing people doesn't fix the healthcare industry either.

Why not? He could've done a whole lot of things more effective that what he did.

Buddy I can assure you if I got timed out for that I would not be here.

Hey does anyone know whether that guy (it was a guy right?) who gave them the tip that led to him getting caught ever got paid?

I'm also still interested in knowing if anyone knows if this dude got paid or not.

He had been jailed for DUI

the police cant legally just murder people in the streets either and anyone defending them doing so are also scum

So, no, he wasn't.

It's not a cop out at all

If you want to make the claim that there were peaceful solutions that could've worked out for everyone, you've gotta put in the work to make that seem like they are/weere reasonably achievable and not an incredibly idealistic, ignorant, and shortsighted delusion that you wish was true.

when the powerful make peaceful protest powerless, then violent protest is the only plausible conclusion.

Frances King didn't listen to the people, and thus the Revolution was inevitable.
American Independance didn't come about by asking nicely.

You have to actively be committing a crime to be a bad person?

So, no, he wasn't. Now remind me, was Brian Thompson in the middle of enriching himself off the deaths of thousands of others at the time he was killed?

I can't believe this is the angle you're trying lmao.

It is; and mangiones actions prove it. He saved no one.

Peaceful solutions are sometimes idealistic, but they are also better in every way, and about equally as effective so... yeah. Also mangiones actions were incredibly shortsighted themselves.

Go on then, walk us through them. It's been a while, I'm sure you've had the time to come up with something that won't just result in you embarrassing yourself again.

Hey does anyone know whether that guy (it was a guy right?) who gave them the tip that led to him getting caught ever got paid?

So I'm not entirely sure on all of this so grain of salt and all that.

The NYPD offered a 10k reward. No one bit, so the FBI threw in 50k if someone sends in a tip that leads to an arrest.

So the string for the NYPD money is that Luigi has to be convicted as well, so the tipster isn't seeing that money until that happens. IF it happens.

And because the tipster called 911 instead of the CrimeStopers hotline, the tipster may not technically be eligible for the 50k.

In other words, that person currently has a goose egg.

Answer the question Toon.

Luckily it's not the angle I'm trying, you're the one hung up on whether or not the victim was a bad person or not.

You have no idea how many lives have been saved by Brain Thompson being killed.

Cop out answer. What viable peaceful alternatives are/were available? You're so adamant that they're there, show your work.

i havent been here in like half a year,

whether one supports him or not, i find it disconcerting that they spent much more effort on him than, say, any of the school shooters
just cause a rich guy died
even by the way he was escorted by like 25 police officers

How do we even know that Luigi was actually the same guy that shot the CEO?

TC told us so.

And if you believe in trials or innocent until proven guilty you're a Russian bot or murder loving anarchist or something.

You're not on his jury and you're not obliged to pretend he's innocent.

You're not on his jury and you're not obliged to pretend he's innocent.

Yes it has. Oh BOY has it.

You just had to be the right person, or work for the right institution.

Andel, the reason people are responding to you like this is because you're calling for an order in a time when the system is being disordered.

You are calling for rules in a time when they are being broken left and right by people obliged to uphold those rules.

And your calls are not being answered.

Oh wow. TC literally has a topic in their history that is basically "Stalin was bad sure buuuut he did some good things!"

Has topic about finding nuance with Stalin, but for some reason finds it impossible to understand nuance here. Huh.

Don't be coy after the quoted post.

You don't need to pretend the guy caught with the gun and manifesto is being railroaded.

we don't

the police claim he is
that is all

but people with certain mindsets believe they must be super duper honest
especially after being puzzled for days with no leads
and then all the sudden having the Mayor perp walk him
