S/o: Do you support murdering CEOs ?

[Anonymous]

No 2 wrongs don't make a right

Now you just have random people being judge, jury, and executioner like the wild west

Everybody loves it until some rando decides to target you or a family member.

You say you aren't important enough? People are getting shot randomly over stupid things these days.

Exaxtly. Stop saying that people using this moment to call attention to the ways UHC causes death and hardship by unfairly denying claims in order to increase profits are “celebrating” his death.

It’s almost like you are trying to make us prop up the system that is ruining most of us just to give a few people wealth they can’t possibly use.

Of course not. The killer will rightfully spend the rest of his life in prison.

We do not solve problems with guns. The gun culture in this country is insane.

I mean a lot of people are celebrating it-saying they would never convict him, calling him a hero, etc.

It’s possible to be clear-eyed about how messed up insurance companies and ceo income are while recognizing it’s bad for our society to praise vigilantes.

I’d like to see private equity dismantled which serves no purpose but to extract money out of businesses and make people rich. It’s terrible for workers and terrible customers.

No, of course not. This young man had clearly developed a mental illness. It is a tragedy all around. I think the way money is held by such a small amount of people is truly terrible but killing people is not going to help anything and guns are never the way to solve something. And one CEO is not responsible for an entire healthcare industry's incredibly problematic system. It has caught people's attention because it is multiple American problems coming together in one - guns, healthcare, and wealth inequality.

Change the question.

Why do you support CEOs killing people every day with their business decisions? Just because it is legal?

How much suffering did wall street bankers impose in the country after 2008 that require us all to collectively bail them out? How much suffering do healthcare exec inflict in thousands of people per day? When the high and nightly inflict suffering they are never punished for their crimes. They are rewarded for it with taxpayer bailouts, higher stock prices, and bigger paychecks.

You're asking the wrong question. Why do you support CEO malfeasance?

Maybe not the rest of his life, but a good chunk of it certainly.

No, not at all. Probably mental illness, access to guns and here's the result as that bothered him the most. He wasn't even poor, but seemed to have had a fall out with his own family.
He got a great education, so something else went wrong here.

Agreed.

It’s ridiculous to argue over the semantics and whether “celebrating” is the precise term.

+1M to this from PP:

“We are a country who doesn't care when a bunch of kindergarteners are slaughtered, we've accepted that as a culturally normal and acceptable thing, so with that barometer in mind I don't get misty eyed when some shithead who contributed to so much illness and death is taken out.”

Sure ask thst question

Fight for real change which will not happen just by killing a CEO. Only stupid people think that way.

For large organizations, these guys are just as interchangeable. I'm sure there is an acting CEO who took over that guys work.

But this is un-American. Everyone is entitled to a trial by a jury of their peers

Maybe that doesn't matter anymore in this new America

The first news article states,

“ On social media in particular, some users gloated . . . “


It then states: “simmering anger boiling over to violence”

[Anonymous]

Yes.

1. Killing this CEO is going to do nothing to change the industry. All the gunman did was ruin his own life (enjoy life in prison bud) and leave some kids without a dad.

2. People are dumb, and think anyone with more money is “the rich”. If you support killing “a CEO”, where do you draw the line? Minimum salary? Home value greater than X? If you feel that the local ice cream shop is charging too much and the CEO lives in a gated community, is that enough to warrant his death?

Luigi Mangione wasn’t dumb and knew the world of wealthy people very intimately. I imagine he spent his entire life in close proximity to CEO types and their kids. He knows how these people talk about the unwashed masses and he knows how precisely undeserving they are of the stratospheric levels of wealth they’ve acquired.
