I’m not well versed in the saints, but I think this is a better origin story than most.

All we need is a tearful prayer, with a vow towards some further action: even if it’s just in a cell for the rest of his life.

And then he is on the same level, in my opinion, of some medieval saints I know a little about.

Could easily be a saint for denied claims and other obstacles in healing.

I would like to note that Luigi has not been found guilty of anything and that both him deserving the presumption of innocence as well as the shooting being justified can be true at the same time.

The police are trying to convince the public that he did it so they can make a show out of punishing him to deter future acts against the rich, we shouldn't do part of their job for them.

By the rules the catholic church also needs one (or many) testimonies from the faithful that their prayers were answered specifically when they prayed for Luigi to intercede on their behalf.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I never understood intercession, it sounds like God is too busy to return my calls so instead I leave a message with his receptionist?

He already has tons of miracles under his belt with the sudden wave of claim approvals

That was announced in September, Brian Thompson was assassinated in December.

It also follows an earlier move to stop suing or placing properties liens by the same company in 2022.

The most beneficial effect the murder had was that it got people talking about how much they hate the American health insurance system.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

Maybe so far

I would love some nice glossy prayer cards like this to leave around town.

He should be ~~strapped~~ carrying his holy weapon.

Just like Antioch and the Holy Hand Grenade

Who is original artist / source?

It's all over socials but I originally found it here: https://x.com/Pinko69420/status/1866665190034440431

You guys do realize that you are glorifying a literal murderer, right? Someone who killed a human being in cold blood.

Okay, just checking.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 3 months ago (1 children)

how many has that CEO killed?

[–] LiPoly 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (6 children)

So you’re saying you’re pro vigilantes and pro death penalty without court order?

Besides, that CEO didn’t kill anyone personally. One could argue you killed a few kids yourself by buying cheap electronics and clothing. If you now start just killing people that you think deserve dying because of some moral standard you think you have, you’re a fucking lunatic without any moral standard.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 months ago

He didn't kill personally, he just gave orders to other people to kill people.
Which means his killer didn't kill anyone personally either, he just pressed some trigger and the gun did everything else

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 months ago (8 children)

So, Hitler wasn't bad. Stalin was OK, didn't kill anyone right?

But their decisions did. Their position of power allowed them to.

Just cause they didn't murder directly doesn't mean they played a fair game. They knew exactly what they were doing. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes goes for bad people too.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Hitler killed Hitler. Pretty good score.

^(It's fucking sarcasm, of course.)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Honestly that fact was known to me, but I just realized he was the good guy/hero we needed after what he did...

Can you explain why only victims of the likes of Thompson should fear, but the CEOs don't need to fear even though they profit from rejecting life- or health-saving treatments?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Osama bin Laden also didn't kill anybody personally on 9/11, and the attack killed only 2,977 victims, which is almost certainly a lower body count than UnitedHealthcare under Brian Thompson's leadership. Yet the US military personnel who violated Pakistan's sovereignty and murdered him are heroes?

What odd moral standards!

Manson didn't kill anyone directly. Doesn't mean he was not innocent of murder

He only died in prison cuz he didn't wear a tie and go to board meetings

[–] [email protected] 27 points 3 months ago

Yes. That's why we're here. Thank you.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Someone who killed a human being in cold blood.

Someone who killed someone who kills people by pretending to be a health insurance, whilst not paying them when people try to use said insurance in cold blood.

The sentence is a little longer if you give the full context. Nobody was innocent here.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I wouldn't call the murder. Totally unfair and unethical yes but not murder.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

What else is willingly and knowingly causing the death of another if not murder?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago
[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago

What are you talking about??? We never glorified that CEO!!

All of our hands are at least speckled with blood for complicity in reaping the benifits of our society?

cold blood

No, he seemed pretty justifiably angry.

The guy he allegedly killed on the other hand almost certainly had ice in his veins approving denial policies that would make his company a lot of money by denying the necessary care his customers/marks paid for in advance through premiums. Now those customers/marks are dead with more on the way at their hands, and they keep all those dead customers/marks premiums. Score amirite?

Whoever sits in that chair has to be a cold blooded sociopath that murders with indifference. That's the job.

The glorious shareholders demand it. Bezos has a pet mega yacht for his main mega yacht and they have fomo.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Let's compare the plethora of murders under the belt of who he killed. They were human beings too.

Lol, I've been waiting for this since day 1! Also, have they started selling the realistic 'celebrity' stocking face masks with his picture on them yet?
