Especially his bashing around and yelling in PA orange suit before his attorneys told him to only shut up and nod.

Someone with medical training pointed out to me that the x-ray photo Luigi had posted showing his back surgery results also showed that he was...very constipated. And this is a primary symptom of opiates. If the surgery didn't alleviate his symptoms (and this type of surgery sometimes does not "work"), then that means he was and may still be relying on painkillers.

It would be interesting if it turns out that Luigi's insurance wouldn't pay for additional treatments, but did pay for him to be on painkillers. Having known someone "addicted to pills", I know this does change one's personality, impulse control, and perception of the world.

Where is this xray?!?!

If you lack values and now rationalize gunning down people on their way to work you’re a sociopath. There are moral ways to make the same point. Many of them.

If you think one guy in the system who worked his way up to head a line of business is the poster child for your cause, take him to court.

And what if the courts are corrupt which is obviously the case.

+1. There is no actual justice for the rich and powerful in this country, only the illusion of it. I happen to know some members of the Sackler family. Yes, they were fined hundreds of millions of dollars. Yet not one of them was put the behind bars, and they still have hundreds of millions left to continue enjoying their lavish lifestyle while tens of thousands of lives were lost and many more destroyed by the opioids they pushed. Pray tell, where is the “moral way” of punishment in this case??

He is the main character in the TV show Prison Break. The character of Scofield is great, and the actor Wentworth Miller who plays him is gorgeous.

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

1. I do not support gunning somebody down. However, I have thought a lot about this crazy story, and I think I get why this privileged boy decided it had to be him. Consider: if a black person had done the shooting, scrutiny of the situation would no be the same, and the group to whom Luigi was trying to make a point would be considerably less shaken than if they saw someone "like them" commit the murder. The same with a poor shooter, or a middle class shooter, etc. I'm not saying what he did was the right way to make his point, but if someone WERE going to choose this path, then it really has to be a privileged white male with a lot to lose who must take this guy out.

That's what I think he was thinking.

I do think it is true that our reactions would be considerably less sympathetic and inclined to get into his head and understand his situation if he had been poor, non-white, etc.

And I think he wanted his action to prompt conversation and scrutiny of the system; I don't think he believed that this one person's death alone would fix anything.

Again, I'm not saying I support gunning somebody down in American streets. But this is what I think he intended when he decided to take this path.

2. Playing devil's advocate, what if this shooting sparks a series of talks and scrutiny that results in real change to the health insurance industry? YES, this is highly UNLIKELY, but just for fun, if this happened...would you look back and conclude that the killing of this one (criminal, morally bankrupt) individual was, in fact, "worth it"? Because I don't know what my answer would be to this.

He had a mental problem, spiraled, picked a grievance, sold himself on the “only” way FW, and wanted to feel important and garner attention, to himself as well.

It’s like the 2024 joker movie, net of the child abuse. Hits home too much.
