    Sounds like Luigi’s perceived actions created jobs and fostered better health for the community at large.

    Someone put this man in government

    Good. They should live in constant fear.

    Industrialized social murder should be a dangerous profession.

      I believe that Luigi himself does not refute the act currently.

      I might be wrong, but if Luigi isn’t refuting what he allegedly did then 🤷

      I misremembered, he did plead not-guilty. I’d thought I read a legal theory of justified self defense as the strategy.

    So how many of the execs said, “This job isn’t worth risking my life for” and quit? How many of them said, “Maybe we should examine how we do business and change.”? How many of them said, “My God. We’re killing people. I’m out.”?

      Nah if literally murdering people for profit didn’t stop them then really nothing will. These people are sociopaths that only see the career ladder.

      Exec: Hey Claude, are we killing people?

      ClaudeAI: Yes.

      Exec: Are you sure? I think were doing great things for them, i don’t see it as killing

      ClaudeAI: Of course you aren’t, you’re doing great things!

    They’ll do anything to save themselves except for stop being evil.

    Sometimes I wonder if those second-tier execs are even more culpable than the CEOs. Like, we expect CEOs to be psychopaths. But those second-tier guys that got a seat further down the table, off the back of a good degree and a few decades of hard work? They know what they’re doing is wrong but choose to go along with it anyway because they’re just following orders.

    This post either needs to be removed or retitled. Luigi is not convicted and this perpetuates a huge problem in the US of assigning guilt to people through public opinion.

        It’s saying he murdered the CEO, when he has not been proven/convicted of doing so. How are you a moderator making decisions like that?

          If nobody believes he killed the CEO then everyone needs to immediately retract all the Luigi memes.

          It’s clear he shot the guy, the only question is how justified it is.

              There are two groups of people:

              1. People who think Luigi’s a criminal who needs to be imprisoned or executed.

              2. People who think Lugi’s a hero who was fully justified in his actions.

              Both groups agree he killed the guy. There is no argument outside tin-foil-hattery that he didn’t.

              The only question remaining is if it’s justified or not.

                Mangione has not admitted to the act nor has he been convicted. He has a right to the presumption of innocence. The state must prove his guilt. Trial by public opinion in the media is not a replacement for a jury of his peers. That is an elementary democratic principle, not a conspiracy theory.

                  Of course he’s not going to admit anything, he’s not a dummy. But it should be obvious to anyone with 1/2 a brain he’s the shooter, the only question is “was it justified?”

                  In that regard, he seems to be winning the battle for public opinion and has been even before he was ID’d.

                  I keep half expecting this moment at trial:

            It’s really not…

            You cant say for sure it’s him in the video, and while cops say he had a bunch of evidence on him, they also say they didn’t find that evidence till after the chain of custody was violated. Nothing in his backpack is admissible.

            Like, this is America bro, corrupt cops isn’t anything new. They lie all the time, you can’t fault the majority of Americans for not caring what they say as a result.

              It’s not up to you or me to say what’s admissable or not. The gun in the video is the gun in the backpack. If you want to argue the cops planted it, then you have to explain how they got it.

              Occams Razor - Luigi failed to ditch the gun.

              https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/12/us/unitedhealthcare-ceo-shooting-suspect-thursday-hnk

              “Marked shell casings from the assassination scene match the gun found on the suspect. His fingerprints match some key items investigators found nearby. And he was arrested this week – after going silent from his mom and friends for months – with a fake ID and a handwritten “claim of responsibility” referencing the crime site.”

                It might be the gun.

                It might even have been in the backpack and Luigi just had it on him.

                But it doesn’t matter, the cops pulled a Mark Furhman. They’re not used to having to follow the law, so they fuck up high profile shit.

                Nothing in the backpack will be admissable. And all the evidence was from the backpack.

            Innocent until some guy on Lemmy says otherwise?

            Oh wait, no, it still has to be proven.

            Unless you were present at the time, you’ve seen some videos. Perhaps it’s not likely, but videos can be faked, more easily now than ever before.

            Proof first.

              Lemmy isn’t a court of law, neither is the Internet. It’s pretty much universally accepted he killed the guy, if it wasn’t, we wouldn’t have the hero worship.

              What the court is going to decide is if he’s justified or not.

                  Again, this isn’t about “guilt”. Guilt implies some level of wrongdoing, and the court is still out on that.

                  The question they will determine is “was he justified”, not “did he do it.”

          I should add too… nothing in the headline is saying Luigi “murdered” anyone. The word is “killed” and that’s not the crime.

          The act of homicide on it’s own isn’t a crime. The circumstances will determine if it’s murder, manslaughter, etc. etc.

          You don’t need a conviction to say someone killed someone else, that part is self evident.

          Was it justified? Was it murder? That’s what the courts will determine.

      He was dead the moment he got caught. Nevermind guilty. I don’t care how many technicalities or strategies his lawyer might have. There’s no way in hell the powers that be will let him have anything other than being made a harsh example for all of us plebs.

      This isn’t about him commiting the crime of murder. This about scaring us into submission so we don’t get any ideas. Even if he’s actually innocent because of they don’t catch the killer they can’t use it as an example, so they need someone.

      He’s not walking. Get ready for the inevitable. Even if the word of the law is on his side they’ll pull something last moment. It’s really naive to think they’d ever allow themselves being made a joke by us.
