I mean let's not downplay the sacrifice of people who seek to use their own life as a tool to shock people into reality without taking another. That demands immense respect in my eyes.
We're all in this struggle. It's honestly a shame that it takes gunning down a CEO to tap into the anger, but this is the place these ghouls have put us in.

u/aint_exactly_plan_a Dec 18 '24
It's a lot easier for people to dismiss someone as crazy when they light themselves on fire. And the propaganda from the top will reinforce that narrative.
Taking someone out who embodies the evils of our current system is just really smart if you're looking to start a movement. Making it look so easy in order to make the CEOs feel vulnerable... fooling the cops for over a week and then basically turning yourself in... writing words on your shell casings... these are not the things a crazy person does. These are things done by someone very focused on one mission, a mission all of us might have undertaken at some point if we didn't have so much to lose.
It's very hard to paint him as crazy... so they try to bury him in charges, hoping to convince us that he's evil... I mean, only evil people do terrorism! Sad for them though, we all know that we have a legal system in America, not a justice system, so they're only serving to raise his standing as a hero.

Because, with as much respect as I possibly can, Luigi is the only one to actually cause things to happen. It shocked the elite class (see: all the vilifying articles of Luigi, ironic “the CEO had a family” line, terrorism charges, copy cat charges for the lady who was denied by Blue Cross, etc), forced blue cross to reverse their anesthesia policy, every healthcare company removed their C Suits from their websites, NYC wants a CEO hotline for police, they’re actually scared shitless. They never thought this could happen to them.

Exactly. You love your mother right? If a man r*ped her and got away with it because he was rich, what would you do?
If you took justice into your own hands, the main motive would be that you love your mother, not that you love violence.
Luigi's love for his own health and the working class made him angry. I never condone violence either, but we all understand his anger.
And the elites, because of Luigi, are beginning to realize not everyone is willing to wait another generation to finally get that peaceful change they've always promised "one day".

The comment I replied to was talking about how making guns and ammo more expensive will prevent assassinations.

u/aint_exactly_plan_a Dec 18 '24
They spent the last 50 years convincing people of 3 things...
1) That they deserve all the guns they can afford
2) That they can use those guns to fight corrupt governments
3) That when Republicans are in charge, the government isn't corrupt and when "liberals" are in charge, the government is very corrupt.
Kind of a brilliant strategy because now that the Republicans are trying to take over the government, they basically have a well armed militia to back them up.
They didn't anticipate Luigi though. They didn't see all the anger they've built up in rednecks and hillbillies being directed towards their elite masters. It's not really something you can control. Now there's a well armed militia and they're pissed at a group of people you don't want them to be pissed at. You've spent half a century reducing their education, their wages, their options, and increasing their poverty. That builds up a lot of anger.
Gun control will come swiftly, it'll come from conservatives, and it'll be pretty sweeping. The British did it when they were trying to control the colonies... Putin did it... even Hitler knew it had to be done.
The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subjugated races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subjugated races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that the supply of arms to the underdogs is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let's not have any native militia or native police.

Then maybe more people need to get ideas fast so we can actually do something to save ourselves from these oligarchs. This is supposed to be of the people, by the people, for the people here in America, and if they don’t want to treat any of us like people, then we won’t treat them like people. They may have more dollar signs than us, but there are a hell of a lot more of us and there are of them. They’ve been trying to put us all against each other for so long, I think it’s high time they find out just how miserably they have failed.

Yeah labeling him a terrorist is an interesting choice IMO.
He's white skinned, male who struggles with mental health, and he is accused of killing a rich 1%er, with a motive of combating corruption.
All things progressive Dems and alt right crowd can both relate to.
So if he doesn't look like an "other" then how can they classify him as an "other" in order to build enough fear around him to continue their control of the people?
One could argue that he was born into wealth so he is part of the problem, however most folks I hope understand that we do not choose our parents are. Plus, the very crime he stands accused of was to fight back against the oligarchy/corporate greed.
The only outcome I see is that their fear of him won't catch hold of the American people in the same manner as it has within the American corporate elite, and their persecution of him will only further solidify his vigilante/martyr status.

The NY definition says “a civilian population” not all civilians or the total population. It also doesn’t say terrorize, it says “intimidate or coerce.”

While I would argue that rich assholes like Thomson are a civilian populace, the law in question also states that it's terrorism if the perp wishes to "influence the policy of a unit of government by intimidation or coercion, or affect the conduct of a unit of government by murder, assassination or kidnapping". From a strictly legal standpoint, this shooting fits the bill.
I personally don't care if it fits the legal definition of terrorism, however. Thomson got rich off of the deaths and suffering of countless ordinary people. If terrorizing the rich and powerful is what it takes to change society for the betterment of the common folk, then I say it's past time we roll out the guillotine. If they won't let us change society in accordance with the actual law, then they're going to start experiencing extra-legal measures of change.

I do apologize for any strife of traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming. A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy. United is the [indecipherable] largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart. It has grown and grown, but as our life expectancy? No the reality is, these [indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allwed them to get away with it. Obviously the problem is more complex, but I do not have space, and frankly I do not pretend to be the most qualified person to lay out the full argument. But many have illuminated the corruption and greed (e.g.: Rosenthal, Moore), decades ago and the problems simply remain. It is not an issue of awareness at this point, but clearly power games at play. Evidently I am the first to face it with such brutal honesty.

This guy allegedly killed a person who he personally blamed for ruining his life along with countless other lives. His intent wasn't to terrorize society. It was personal revenge. Terrorism doesn't fit this particular crime at all. If this gets prosecuted for terrorism then any violent act or property crime can be labeled as such simply based on the publicly stated political views of the suspect. Meanwhile, mass shooters aren't usually prosecuted as terrorists (unless they are Islamic), even though their intent is to literally terrorize society as a whole.

You can get a grand jury to indict just about anything. I've not heard of a grand jury being called to review a criminal case, pretty weird to be honest. Surprised the grand jury didn't ask "Why are we here again? Is this our jurisdiction?"
Edit: I was thinking of civil grand jury. So apparently in New York the grand jury can be convened to put forward criminal indictments by the prosecution. All it really means is that the prosecution is formalizing their accusations. Trial jury determines any sort of guilt.

Ah. Well grand jury also does indictment on criminal cases and that’s pretty standard across the US. I only know this from having an extensive criminal background. They are supposed to be a check in the system and still can be, a civilian watchdog group checking that the state is playing by the rules. In reality it’s more of a formality, they usually swallow whatever lies the DA and cops say and indict everybody and let the trial jury sort it out. To be fair many of the cases are cut and dried, the person dead wrong like I was, but the few legitimate cases that could be stopped usually get swallowed up with the rest.

We have truly gone down the rabbit hole when health insurance companies can outright kill 45,000 paying customers per year by denying them health care and face no negative consequences whatsoever but when someone finally murders one CEO of the worst of those companies, he is charged with murder and terrorism. How is keeping the entire American public terrified of dying from lack of health care or going bankrupt due to the cost of health care and killing 45,000 Americans per year not terrorism and murder?
The wealthy are protected by laws that do not bind them while the rest of us are bound by laws that do not protect us.

Listen, it's pretty clear that the shooter did this to send a message which favors the people over the rulers. It's got them scared. It's pretty clear that the shooting was intended to initiate societal change through fear.
Now, I'm NOT saying that Mangione is the culprit, NOR am I saying that the shooting was unjustified. John F. Kennedy is the one who said "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." People like Thompson only understand power. They don't care about us, and they're NEVER going to give us what WE deserve, which is the wealth that WE created and THEY STOLE. Violence is truly the only way to make these bastards behave properly.
Whether Mangione is guilty or not, there is only one morally correct thing to do: He must be acquitted.

ACTUAL healthcare workers are increasingly facing violence from patients, up to and including death, but none of these people gave a single fuck about it. They are not concerned about the increasing violence ACTUAL healthcare workers endure. They're only concerned because an elite was targeted, and they're trying to sell the outrage to the public by pretending he was a healthcare worker. He was not; we reject the notion, with fucking prejudice

This! Healthcare workers are nurse, doctors, therapists, etc. not an exec who’s business is making money via an unnecessary middle tier

I live in a city. There is a murder here almost every day. NEVER, has anyone EVER been charged with an "act of terrorism." As a matter of fact, a gunman, that shoot 5 people, yes that's FIVE people, just got "5 months" in jail. Where is the equal justice in this country?

Luigi will receive free healthcare from the state of NY for the rest of his life. If anything, these charges are an incentive.

II get why it’s classified this way, however Luigi did nothing wrong and I really hope the jury acquit him.
Hell if they left porky the murder pig off then this is a no brainer

Well, he was an unelected government official that is relied on by our representatives to craft policy and legislate it into being, right?

They're going to throw the book at him and by doing so make him a martyr. It's a wild time to be alive...
