About Luigi Mangione, person of interest

[Gallipoli]

It looks like they caught a person of interest in the shooting of United Health's CEO, Brian Thompson, last week. His name is Luigi Mangione. He is from Baltimore, where he attended a high end prep school. He went to UPenn for undergrad and graduate school. They arrested him at Mc Donalds in Altoona, PA. He had a 9mm handgun that was created with a 3D printer and a silencer.

I really did not want to respond to such a stupid question, but I will say that anyone who justifys this back shooting, cold blooded murder is disturbed. Hopefully no one on this forum thinks it was justified.

Elizabeth Warren has issued a warning to insurance companies. She has placed a target on the back of everyone in the insurance industry.

"‘Visceral’ response to insurance CEO’s killing should be ‘warning to everyone in the health care system."

Now wanted posters are showing up in NY with pictures of other corporate leaders.

Dystopian 'wanted' posters of top health CEOs appear in NYC

The menacing posters were erected on Canal Street - one of Manhattan's busiest thoroughfares - flanked with the words: 'Wanted Health care CEOs should not feel safe.'

I'm only disappointed that NY doesn't have the death penalty, because this loser would be dead within a few years. Anyone justifying what he did because they don't like the insurance industry (and most of us probably agree it's a disaster) is an idiot in my book.

Luigi Mangione wasn't even a customer of United Health. If he wasn't a customer of UHC, why target employees of the company?

Just a guess. Because he is a disturbed, violent left wing loon who believes the model of efficiency is government and a single payer system will bring health, prosperity and equity like we have never known to all?

Given the money his family has, he probably grew up a country club conservative. A Republican, just like the guy in Pennsylvania who took a shot at Trump.

Glad that you are OK with UHC regularly denying claims out-of-hand, not paying vendors and earning $22 billion last year.

Going through some medical issues now (not major, no worries). My docs have told me that Medicare is the easiest health-care vendor to work with.

But many find him cute, sexy, and a call to healthcare equity and freedom. A regular cream jean guy. Sigh.

In reality, he shot an innocent man in the back like a coward. A cold blooded murderer.

Left needs to get the story straight or not gonna win much. Winning is power, power is policy. Move to the center or suffer the consequences. Suppose already have given last election.

 

[Eight Legger]

I don't think this is a left vs. right issue. This is a lunatic executing someone in public. Not sure how anyone can be ok with it, regardless of party affiliation.

Says the guy who wrote this:

"Because he is a disturbed, violent left wing loon who believes the model of efficiency is government and a single payer system will bring health, prosperity and equity like we have never known to all?"

Talk about conjecture.

And I am certainly not condoning the shooting (here's a hint: legally it's not murder until someone is convicted of murder).
