Luigi Mangione

Personally I think CEOs who are fine with killing thousands to save money inspire violence more

Wrong. CEOs are inspiring others to commit violence.

Cool

Now stop trying to prosecute a guy who I’m pretty convinced isn’t actually the guy who did the thing

Pushing for the death penalty while simultaneously claiming he's "inspiring others to violence" certainly is a choice. Oblivious to the high likelihood only making him a martyr to a lot of people. A good reminder of just how utterly unimpressive our ~~elites~~ rulers are.

Luigi isn't inspiring anyone

CEOs are awesome at inspiring people to murder CEOs

Luigi saves lives.

No, the health insurance industry is doing that all on its own.

No - a corrupt and malevolent system that provides grotesque and entirely undeserved privilege for a sociopathic few at the expense of the many is inspiring violence.

Insurance companies purposefully putting bureaucratic delays and hurdles in the way of their dying customers getting life-saving treatments in order to generate record profits, essentially letting their customers die to avoid paying for their treatment, is what has, and will normalize violent acts.

Never once I've seen this argument being used in trials for school shooters

Capitalism is inspiring people to violence.

sure daddy... nobody is buying this fake news.

if you got a case, prove it, bitch

this prosecutor is pathetic. there is not single dead ceo since perp did the good work.

wtf is it talking about?

Counterpoint: unfair company practices are inspiring others to violence.

Can these fake news stop making him so cool? I love him already alright?

Yep, it's this one dude who's inspiring the besieged middle class into increasing action over time, and it's totally not the entire systemically rotten core of big corporate America.

You absolutely nailed it NBC, spot on.

These prosecutors are inspiring me to commit violence.

That’s the hope, yes.

I think its the oligarchs doing that...

Good

We have been ruled by a corrupt elite, individuals and institutions entrenched in power, who have consistently placed their own wealth, influence, and short-term interests above the collective well-being and long-term survival of the human race. These elites have shaped global systems, economic, political, environmental, in ways that extract maximum benefit for themselves, while offloading the costs onto the masses and future generations.

Rather than acting as stewards of humanity’s present and future, they have prioritized profit over sustainability, control over equity, and secrecy over accountability. They’ve knowingly driven ecological collapse, widened economic inequality, fuelled endless wars, and undermined democratic institutions; not out of ignorance, but because doing so served their agendas.

While they built empires on fossil fuels, financial speculation, and surveillance, they dismissed or actively suppressed warnings from scientists, whistle blowers, and communities. Their decisions were not made in a vacuum; they were conscious choices to trade planetary stability for personal gain.

As a result, humanity now stands at the edge of multiple converging crises. Climate change, resource depletion, social unrest, and technological disruption, all of which were foreseeable and, to varying degrees, preventable. Yet those with the power to alter course chose not to.

We are not simply victims of mismanagement. We are survivors of deliberate negligence. They’ve turned healthcare into a marketplace, democracy into theatre, and human pain into a line item on a quarterly report. While families ration insulin, children breathe poisoned air, and entire families gulp down cancerous water, they dine in boardrooms and speak of efficiency and dividends. Their success is measured in how effectively they can extract, exploit, and evade.

We now live in a world where people cry out in pain and are met with silence. Where justice and even care seems so unreachable. The real crime isn't that Luigi shot a man. The real crime is that they created a system where shooting a man was the only choice he was left with. Only a fool thinks they can exploit people without triggering violence. And only a delusional coward believes it’ll stop after the first shot’s fired.

Unless the time of self serving leaders comes to an end, the violence will only continue to grow.

Shareholder violence is inspiring self defense

Irrelevant...? How is that his problem or his fault? Incitement has to be willful, intentional, or at least grossly negligent for you to be culpable in it. And how does that contribute to proving his guilt in the first place?

Just a reminder y'all can easily put both Mangione and Itsa Me Luigi stickers on your cars, depending on your need for plausible deniability. People do know what it means, keeps it fresh in their minds.

lol one can only hope

Well, there are lots of people with terminal diagnoses, thanks in part to the US health care system.

One can only keep hoping so...

I think homicidal CEOs with zero negative consequences are inspiring people to violence. If there's never any justice for a class of criminal, someone they've harmed will eventually try to balance the scales

Luigi is a symptom of an unjust system and it has nothing to do with him. Quite frankly, if he didn't do it, someone else eventually would have. All the ingredients were there, and are still there for this kind of thing to keep happening.

Where is the problem with that? Not enough Luigis?

If only...
