It doesn't matter too much what us middle age parents/professionals think about this.

On the social media I am seeing - Twitter and especially TikTok, this guy is a hero among millennials and younger.

Right or wrong, this is sparking a movement. The mainstream news and law enforcement will try to suppress it, but it is there.

The guy's twitter gives hints that he was a libertarian to maybe 'right' but he didn't seem radicalized politically.

There are lots of seriously twisted and perverted people out there. So much justification over an assassination. There are people comparing this to what the founding fathers did for political change and text pretzel logic to reach those conclusions.

I think there's a LOT of righteous anger in this country towards the insurance industry. Righteous.

Sure, some people try to game the system. Those individuals pale in comparison to how the insurance industry is gaming the system.

If you can't understand these simple facts, neither I nor anyone else can help you.

So far as the vast majority of people are concerned, the murder of a corrupt, crooked member of this perverted insurance scam industry was a *shrug* event.

You must work in the insurance industry if you can't appreciate the frustration and anger the average America feels.

I don’t work for the insurance industry and I have had claims denied by insurance companies. I understand there is a lot of frustration, but frustration does not make murder acceptable. I bet you yourself feel frustration about many things. I bet you feel frustrations over things like politics, but you’re not going to go out and assassinate a politician, a president or a CEO. Just because you’re frustrated does not mean murder is acceptable.

If you’re advocating for people assassinating people they’re frustrated with well then I can’t help you understand how wrong it is.

What Luigi did wasn’t heroic. In fact, he was a coward. He shot the man in the back. He didn’t even have the righteous indignation or guts to say something to his face.

The guy followed the Unibomber. If he had not shot the CEO of United HC he would have shot someone else. He was spiraling into mental illness and had not interacted with friends and family for months.

I know you want to believe something will change, and I do too, but I just…don’t.

Yeah I don't believe that. Walz left his condolences because Thompson and his family live in Minnesota. They weren't personal BFFs.

The manager of the commune where he lived in Hawaii said, effectively, that Luigi couldn’t have sex because of his back pain. So it turns out he WAS involuntarily celibate!

How many people did the CEO of United HC kill by denying claims? There are a lot of people who lost their loved ones because insurance refused to pay for procedures they said they would.

It doesn’t make sense.

You don't sound like you are in the healthcare business to be throwing out random figures of who makes what.

DP but I haven’t heard of many doctors making $10M + per year.

Plastic surgeon

Only cosmetic plastic surgeons in maybe Beverly Hills or NYC. But their patients are paying out of pocket for elective procedures. Irrelevant to this discussion

Well the CEO of medstar makes several million dollars charging $200 for an aspirin, something that health insurance would deny. There are a lot of players in this game who are fleecing people way before it gets to the health plan.

This seems very unlikely as they didn't live in the same place and are very different ages not to mention social classes.

The CEO was based out of Minnesota. Of course a politician interacts with the local millionaires.

Oh, I don’t know if things will change. I’m just saying a movement is happening.

Not to make light of the situation, but will Adrian Grenier pay Luigi Mangione in the movie? If not, who and who will pay the CEO? Dave Coulier in a break out dramatic role while battling cancer.

I don't think people realize how many innocent people are killed by way of limiting access to affordable healthcare in this country by none other than Brian Thompson and those like him leading private health insurance companies.

This kid murdered Thompson in cold blood publicly and got caught.

That's the difference. If you saw even one insurance case of a family at their wits end trying to get a claim approved to help their loved one, I'm not sure how you would not feel that it's a kind of murder or your torture. Because these things are not put forth on a public forum enacted as a play for all to see, it's considered acceptable.

It's very much cold blooded murder however. Ask anyone who has worked a length of time in the healthcare industries.

I am telling you that people are frustrated and angry. Where did I state I am advocating for murder?

Please read what I stated again.

The industry needs to get overhauled with closer regulation. Sure, they shouldn't be required to cover weight loss medication for cosmetic reasons. Sure, they shouldn't be required to cover every politicized and popular medical procedure that is not medically necessary. But denying and delaying medically critical covered procedures is immoral, unethical, and inexcusable. BC/BS trying to limit anesthesia in the middle of a complicated surgery is BEYOND reasonable denial. They were going for it. BC/BS was really going for it.

Adrian is almost 50. Dave is 65. WAY too old for those roles.

My vote for Luigi is Finn Wolfhard. He'll be the right age when the movie comes out, and he's gotten dreamy as he's gotten older.

I think Jonah Hill could pull Brian Thompson. He's got the right look and did great in War Dogs and Wolf of Wall Street.
