    Absolutely gonna get downvoted to hell for this but he killed someone. Murder is a crime. He’s a criminal. Whether you think the person he killed deserved it or not is irrelevant, giving a free pass because of that sets an extremely dangerous precedent

    I understand people are tense about healthcare and sometimes become emotional but come on man. Do better

      I’m not gonna say that murder is right or anything. But, people in power can and often will threaten other people with their lives and get away with it. Elon Musk is a good example of that. Yes, we don’t know have any proof of him killing people, but he can casually and “as a joke” say that other people should be assassinated.

      The problem isn’t that a CEO was killed, the problem is that it has gotten to that point, where so many people get killed overall, and the big powerful people don’t give a fuck. But when suddenly someone “important” gets killed, then it’s a big problem.

      No, he’s accused of killing someone.

      Accused with evidence that has a contradictory history over the course of the manhunt.

      But he’s not a criminal until he’s convicted by a jury of his peers.

        There’s no way you think it’s possible for him to come out of this right? The dude is either going to jail for life or getting the chair

      Allowing countless to die due to denied insurance claims is already a pretty fucking dangerous precendent going on for years where our leaders did nothing but allow it to happen. We’re pretty far past “dangerous precendent.”

        I love how you completely ignored my point and just went back to health insurance, you people are unsavable

        So some random person, can become judge jury executioner and kill whoever they want isnt a dangerous precedent? So if Luigi had killed a homeless man instead of brian thompson you wouldn’t be celebrating it right? That’s what im talking about

      We prefer to stop people like Brian Thompson, whose killed and tortured tens of millions by weaponizing boring insurance policies, peacefully.

      For the sake of those tens of millions, it’s going to stop. Let’s push for the peaceful option, with the understanding that it will be stopping one way or another. Hopefully the peaceful way works, and we’ll keep doing everything we can to ensure that it does.

        While you’re shilling for a murderer, that’e some level 9000 cognitive dissidance that even lunduke would be proud of

          I disagree with you here. Many people already fought and pushed for the peaceful option in the last decades. Also just for clarification: this isn’t a struggle for wealth or glory - this is a fight about literal human life’s. And I will be honest with you, if one person who has committed terrible actions dies, but as a result many more people can live (see the Bluecross reversal), it is difficult for me to say that it is a cognitive dissonance to fight for the peaceful option and to accept that violence may be necessary here.

      I don’t know if it is morally objectionable to kill a man who is directly responsible for the deaths and suffering of thousands. The murdered piece of shit bragged about using AI to deny claims and he was responsible for the highest claim denials in the industry just so he could make a buck. Fuck that guy. I’m glad he is dead and Luigi is a hero if he did it.

        I never said he’s a bad person, just that he’s a criminal.

        I’m glad he is dead and Luigi is a hero if he did it.

        Absolutely sickening comment and its insane that this is SOMEHOW the ““morally correct”” opinion to have on this platform

          Somehow you are missing the violence that Thompson inflicted on all of his thousands of victims? Maybe you are ok with that because your moral compass is dictated by the state? Or is it ok because they are peasants? Or maybe you are ok with sick people needlessly suffering so this shit eater can have more boat money?

            Never said it was ok for the health insurance companies to do what they are doing, they are parasites

            Once again you are missing the point that shooting a guy in the street simply exacerbates the problem and doesn’t solve it

            You seriously think Luigi’s actions helped people? You think health insurance companies will forget their prime directive because 1 CEO died? In fact this will just make them even MORE greedy because they have the police on their side now and they can be terrible without consequence

            If I shoot the Nestlé CEO does that return all the water they stole from Africa? Of course not, and if that happened you people would probably be celebrating that as well

            Luigi’s actions have been a net negative to society, and will just create more divide between people. What do you think the world would be like if everyone had Luigi’s mindset of “I’m going to kill this person because I don’t like them”. We would be in complete chaos and a warlord would break into your house and either turn you into a slave or kill you in 1 day

            I’m not ok with the health insurance industry, but I’m also not OK with shooting people in the street instead of even trying to fix the issue diplomatically. Seems lile everyone has lost their collective minds over this and just default to “Health care bad so we can kill CEOs!!!”. Without ever questioning the overreaching consequences.

            The amount of Luigi simping on Lemmy is disgusting and I haven’t said anything until now because I knew this would be the exact response. Adults having the functional capacity of children and refusing to see that this type of rhetoric is going to cause so much violence. Disagree if you want, I’ll happily argue with you because I like arguments, but just know that this type of language is, and has been, responsible for so much suffering and hatred in the world.

            The fact that having basic fucking morals is said to be “dictated by the state” is completely mentally inept and it’s wild how people actually think this is GOOD. Shame on you all.
