[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In case you are one of those who are morally confused:

Good guy: Daniel Penny
Bad Guy: Luigi Mangione[/quote]

Disagree.  They’re simply divergent species of good guy.

Penny protected his fellow citizens on a micro level. Mangione did so on a macro level. Both saw something that needed doing, and stepped up.

Hard disagree. Penny didn't plan to kill anyone. In fact even in the moment I don't believe he was trying to kill Neely -- I think he used "excessive force" due to adrenaline and the intensity of the moment.

Mangione planned and executed an assassination. Thompson was a really terrible person but that's still murder with prior intent.

What if Mangione had taken his Ivy League degrees, money from his family, and passion regarding a broken healthcare system (including coming from a family that profited off that system) and become an advocate for changing the system? I think it would be as effective as what he's done but without murdering someone on a city street on a Tuesday morning.[/quote]

If you read what he purportedly wrote on Substack, which someone linked to pages back, he said nonviolence was essentially complicity with the status quo. While many of us don’t agree, frustration is simmering while politicians bicker. [/quote]

Yeah, so it turns out this 26 year old murderer is incorrect about a lot of stuff. News at 11.

Find another folk hero. He ain't it.[/quote]

I don’t think he’s a hero, but to ignore the issues he and GenZ are frustrated with is to our own detriment. [/quote]
