He talked about how, while he was posing as a wealthy investor, leadership e-mailed him back within an hour, and he said that was in stark contrast to his interactions with insurers as a patient.

This is the story. This is the rallying cry. Spread this story.

I find it impossible to be upset about Luigi stalking and killing someone who has killed tens of thousands of people for money.

In fact, I wish he had never been caught.

If you kill a murderer before he kills more people that usually makes you a hero.

I mean there's your whole defense right there.

Sounds like self defense and attempting to prevent 114,000 deaths each year according to Yale.

I can't help but to notice that they recently released a new Robin Hood movie. In this new version of the most famous peasant class hero in western cannon, we don't see him steal from the rich and give to the poor, ya know, or bring justice to the misdeeds of the wealthy, the entire reason he's a hero. No, instead, we see him as a murderous criminal whose deeds caused a bunch of peasant suffering who needs to learn empathy. Then he dies.

They've taken the most influential hero of the lower class, a hero fighting against the never ending wrongs of the wealthy elite, made him into a psychopath criminal, and killed him him off, along with everything he once symbolized.

I can't help but wonder if the decision to make this movie, and the incidents around Mangione, might be somewhat related? As if the wealthy needed to culturally manipulate us away from glorifying people who force the wealthy to endure the justice they constantly seek to avoid.

Or maybe not. The wealthy would never intentionally try and shape our values, and thus our behavior, through the media they make, would they?

Luigi should be sentenced to surgery and therapy, followed by rest and relaxation at home, and afterward, put into community rehabilitation in a city or town he’d like to be in, and generally be free with a healthy back.

Mans needs it.

I love that in the best pic they found of Thompson, he still looks like the asshole he most likely was in life. Also, the news people know where their bread is buttered referring to the "horrendous murder", and the crying family members.

From the article, it looks to be like his lawyers are trying to get the murder conviction thrown out by him pleading guilty. It would be double jeopardy for the same event. It also makes it seem like they had a lot more evidence against him than I originally thought.

It only now just occurred to me to be happy for him. He looks so relieved.

I still find it weird how one person can pull off fleeing the scene but not to get rid of their backpack and just go home and resume their routine.

What makes it even less believable for me is that it was a ghost gun. As long as he cleaned his finger prints off, it would have basically removed the most important piece of evidence.

The only reason I can think of is that he wanted to be caught (maybe to become a martyr) or the more likely solution that it wasn’t him but he is gonna get the book thrown at him regardless (hence maybe why he is taking the plea deal, given his celebrity status he could be set for life if he gets out soon enough).

I'm not sure this is the right comm for this - it's not really investigative journalism if they're just reporting things that were said in open court.

I dunno, if you're in charge of rescue operations, and see a person holding on by their fingertips to the side of a massive cliff, and instead of helping, you just drive by, I'd say that's passively killing someone. Ignoring your job, that would have saved someone's life, and you chose not to. This is what health insurance companies do thousands of times every day.

Luigi actively murdered someone who was passively responsible for thousands of deaths.

Seems more like a real-life version of Dexter to me.

Free Luigi!
