You’re being purposefully naive by pretending that this is about being a CEO not the legal violence of America’s health insurance system

What a stupid question. 99.9999% of people in this world would never want anyone harmed. But if vile people are killed by others...


...it's hard to have sympathy, isn't it?

Yes, thank you (and I am sorry for your pain).

The part of the message in bold is exactly what needs to rise to the top of this discussion. Luigi is not a hero; he is a vile murderer who shot a father of innocent kids in the back.

I am the OP, and I am echoing Jeff’s sentiments in his blog post, where Jeff expressed shock at all those people condoning this murder of a father, and some people even suggesting other CEOs should be murdered. If you feel this way, there is something seriously wrong with your moral compass and no amount of “whataboutisms” concerning the insurance industry come close to making up for premeditated murder.

Again, PP: sorry you are going through this; hopefully your situation improves dramatically as soon as possible. Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for being the voice of sanity and reason.


DP. As someone who also had absolutely debilitating cauda equina that actually was fixed by spinal surgery (I feel so lucky), I really empathize with the pain he must have been in. It is like nothing else and it is crazy-making.

It never once made me consider murder. I find that incomprehensible. I also find the cheering to be sickening. But I also know that pain, and I could see it triggering a mental break in someone already pre-disposed to schizophrenia, which is what I suspect has happened.

I’m not shedding any tears for Brian Thompson, but I would much prefer to see the CEOs and other C-Suite leaders held criminally and civilly responsible for the harms they cause. With the government coming in things will be getting worse for most Americans. The smoke and mirrors of culture wars will eventually cease to work, and I would expect to see similar attacks at some point in the future. When people feel their life isn’t worth living, when they have no hope and nothing to lose, violence becomes an acceptable option to them.




This is all fine with me. Better than schools and concerts getting shot up.

For all the angry people plotting shooting sprees at home … take note of how to be a martyr vs. a villain.

The murderer was wrong. We should do what is right.


I agree with this. They want the big bucks, they should have skin in the game.


+100

And if “corporations are people” then the people are the corporation and they should be subject to the same criminal laws as the rest of us. No more hiding behind corporate immunity.

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



You also blame cars for drunk drivers, right?


No but we have licensing requirements and DUI checkpoints and traffic courts and mandatory insurance coverage, etc. for cars. That would be a start with guns.



There are more than 20,000 federal, state and local gun laws already on the books in this country. I think there’s already plenty of laws. And your president just pardoned his own crack-addled son for violating several federal gun laws. So spare us the “we need more laws crap. You won’t even enforce the thousands of laws already in place, but you want more? Hell no. Go away.


Yeah and the bulk of those have to do with stuff like gun shop zoning that don’t affect sales of guns.

We need a better concerted national effort otherwise we’re just playing whack a mole, but passing uniform federal legislation has been an uphill battle.

And yes I also agree we need better enforcement of the gun laws we do have. I have a friend whose spouse was killed by a stray bullet from a 20 year old who already had a prior gun charge plead down. I don’t think there should be second chances when it comes to gun crimes. I’d love to see mandatory minimums, plus stuff like restrictions and taxation on ammo. If we can’t get all the guns off the street we can at least make it harder to use them in a crime. We already do this for cold medicine so why not have to show ID/have limits on the purchase of bullets?

According to his manifesto, he has a higher moral duty, one that he can't explain to the plebes.

He had a major spinal fusion by only age 26.

Apparently he described huge signs of cauda equina syndrome. He must have been in debilitating pain, because cauda equina is no joke.

We can hope CEO'S of insurance companies might take note and stop screwing people. Sullivan was guilty of insider trading to the tune of $10,000,000, so it's hard to feel sorry for him.

there’s a big difference between an honest successful entrepreneur and someone who’s made success by treating others unfairly, poisoning us, and screwing us over over money.

Do I care about income inequality? No. Not at all. I’m happy when Americans are honestly successful in their endeavors.

Do I care about treating people fairly when someone is clearly abusing power and getting rich with lopsided law fare? My understanding of the second amendment as an equalizer leads me not to care how such a person is disposed of.

Most of the people trying to assassinate presidential candidates and other public figures are your left wing nut cretins. And it actually helped in getting the candidate you hate ( so much hate you side) elected.
So ironic.


Ridiculous allegation. Please provide Citation for any aspiring assassins who are LWNJs. The young guy (Thomas Crooks) who shot Trump’s ear st an Eimoand came close to killing him had an associate degree in engineering science and was a registered Republican. Now that’s irony.



- who donated to ActBlue.

I am not the PP you responded to, but I agree with her that the LWNJs are the people who are supportive of the Luigi the gunman’s actions.

Taylor Lorenz is a prime example of such a LWNJ. The tenured Columbia university professor is another.

But they are merely the tip of iceberg of LWNJs condoning murder here. And by “here,” I am not merely including DCUMAD.

I mean across the USA. Violence is never the answer!
