S/o: Do you support murdering CEOs ?

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.

He also dropped off the grid recently. Very likely the shooting was caused by his mental illness rather than any disgust he felt over how the wealthy spoke

We can be appalled at the violence and murder and at the same time see that the shooter has tapped into a frustration and anger stream that many people are feeling themselves. It crosses through many issues that are dividing our society. Guns, violent pastimes, healthcare, possibly mental illness, possibly pain reliever addiction, elite statuses of both the perpetrator and the victim… Plus a new one: elite on elite crime.

“ When a medical insurance CEO was shot dead, people celebrated his death. What does this tell us about American healthcare?”

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.

Its almost like we need the rule of law.

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?

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

You’re right. Look who we just elected President.

Sorry, with the last election, I really don't buy that there is this righteous anger that Americans have against the struggles of American Healthcare.

Precisely half of Americans are okay with getting screwed over by the healthcare industry. The status quote is precisely what they deserve

I'm sorry to hear about any shooting and I'm not making this dingbat a hero.

Both of those things can be true. I think a lot of kids raised in extreme privilege—at least those with a bit of a heart—have a time of reckoning in the 20s when they start to fully realize that their lifestyle has been made possible at the expense of the poor and working class.

Most of the new cabinet is going to be ex-CEOS and billionaires. But Trump was elected because populism.

Make it make sense.

Then it is very bad he took the route he did.

With his background and education he could have fought for REAL change, not just decided that popping the CEO was the way to make things happen.

At the end of the day, nothing changes and he becomes a footnote in the year 2024.

An uneducated person would think that shooting would change something, but he should have known better since you say he was part of the elite.

He got a great education, so something else went wrong here.

Reportedly he had a serious surfing accident, followed by extensive and painful back surgery, and unrelenting chronic pain.
The last one led him to seek out questionable mind-altering treatments, exacerbating what had been damaged in the surfing accident.

Definitely should not have had a gun.

Who paid for back surgery? His employer at TrueCar? He had insurance and access to medical tx

I think a lot of us would like to see actual jail time for criminal CEOs.

No, I do not support violence in any form. However, I do think this is a warning sign to be heeded. We need more information about his motives, but this seems on the surface to be related to his struggles with the health insurance industry, one that is echoed by many Americans (who do not resort to violence), and shows how desperate people can become.

Blah, blah, blah

I'm not seeing this concern when you look at the actions of some Americans. And other who decide not to have their voice heard in an appropriate way.

No, I don't condone murder.

I'll add that I still do not understand a rich 26 yo who attended prep school and whose parents profited from assisted living and a country club thinks he's changing the world by killing another rich guy (who attended public schools and didn't even have a fancy upbringing).

The law would hopefully have done its job with the CEO for his insider trading and any other laws he broke.
