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?

Get off your high horse and shut the fuck up. Were you shocked when people celebrated Kissinger or Bin Laden dying or do you only get upset at corporate America?

You advocate for a world in which a stranger can decide that you’re also a bad person, and gun you down in the street. In such a world, I promise you, your health insurance

WE CURRENTLY LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE AN UNQUALIFIED STRANGER CAN DECIDE YOU DON'T DESERVE MEDICAL TREATMENT. Healthcare CEOs kill people EVERY DAY but we should draw the line when it's a gun and not a denial letter? Get the fuck out of here with that logic.

Go point your outage at the millions of innocent people who die every day from preventable disease. Or if that's too abstract for you, how about the people getting bombed and starved in Palestine?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Palestine? Kissinger? Completely irrelevant. You are advocating first-degree murder. Look in the mirror and start there.

The bureaucratic plumbing of American healthcare? So fix it then! Vote. Send letters. Get more involved in politics. Protest. What have you done about the problem you seem so worked up about, apart from cheer on a murderer? What?

If speaking out against vigilante murderers is "being on a high horse", that's fine by me and I'll stay there.

Goddamn, you are insufferable.You're not speaking out against vigilante murderers, you're pearl clutching that people dare to lack empathy for someone completely devoid of it.

The "victim" attacked first by denying the killer healthcare.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Yes. How dare I have my own opinions and values that contradict yours?

Someone openly advocates murder and then talks of empathy. The hypocrisy is almost beyond words.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

There you go again, deliberately misinterpreting to feel superior.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (2 children)

For sure, I feel morally superior to anyone who openly advocates murder. Not a high bar.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

What a shame that your hand-wringing is causing second hand embarrassment for everyone who reads it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

A murder by policy and a murder by gunshot should be valued equally.

In a perfect world, someone with Brian's insatiable, murderous greed disease would be put in a psychiatric hospital for public safety, along with every billionaire and hundred million plus inaire that treats society as their exploitation piggy bank, not that many people, but the sociopaths run the asylum here.

This is a class war, whether you choose to show your belly and say thank you for trading your life for their profit to your enemy or not. Brian was an enemy combatant of this class occupation.
