Plenty of horrible people were good sons, fathers, husbands, etc. These elite assholes are fine having Haitians and Hispanics vilified as the reason this country sucks, and a convicted felon is soon gonna be president again . . . and I'm supposed to feel bad for a privileged white man who was head of company that denied many people healthcare and cost them their lives? How many of these people were loved, but they still ultimately died? I don't care, I'll state it here. I am glad Brian Thompson died. Ted Bundy was considered exceptionally friendly prior to him being caught. Maybe this guy was too. Still a serial killer, still rotten to the core, still a better world without them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1pooh4u Posted December 10 Author Share Posted December 10 Luigi Mangione seemed to have had a pretty Republican leaning twitter account. Seemed to like Elon Musk. Wrote a review on a book about the UnaBomber. Said he was “rightly imprisoned”. I really want to hear this guy’s story. Maybe he never wanted to completely get away with his crimes? Maybe he planned on more but couldn’t after the first? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Cause the guy was doing his own lil holocaust for sick people. Pardon me while I cry myself to sleep over the death of a monster I didn't even know. It's so tragic a serial killer sociopath is gone, boohoo. Tsar isn’t talking about HMO Brian, though. We should be cognizant of the fact that we are in a hellscape now and that there are people who think we should be dead, just like BriBri. Bringing Luigi to justice or letting him off makes no difference in a world run by Trump and his cronies, but we should still appreciate that the justice system is so broken we can’t seeking sanity or to right the ship by it. All that is to say it’s a waste of time to justify a CEOs assasination. The guy wasn’t making anything better and killing him didn’t fix anything either. If I you get some satisfaction in his somewhat cartoonish death, than that’s enough to get you to the real work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark_Cloud_Overhead Posted December 10 Share Posted December 10 2 hours ago, discolé monade said: flirting is what got him. he lowered his mask while flirting with the hostel employee Very thorough analysis there. One has to wonder, if there hadn't been so much attention given to this case, would the guy ever have been caught? I mean, it took a public citizen recognizing him, and had the media not been covering this story so relentlessly, what are the chances of that happening? The thing I can't help thinking about is why then did this case garner so much fascination and attention from people? It's not that somebody got shot out in public. Happens everyday. It's not that the killer got away for a while. We're at the point now where less than half the murder cases in the country are solved. https://projects.csgjusticecenter.org/tools-for-states-to-address-crime/the-accountability-gap-unsolved-violent-crime-in-the-united-states/ https://www.themarshallproject.org/2022/01/12/as-murders-spiked-police-solved-about-half-in-2020 That's one of the worst clearance rates among countries in the industrialized world btw apparently. Germany consistently clears around 90% of their cases. So what is it then? Well, it's pretty obvious right. It's the fact that the guy shot was one of the seemingly untouchable elite. If it had been some Joe Schmo, outside of a brief story or two on some local news coverage that very few people anymore follow, nobody would have covered this, and therefore almost nobody would have seen this guy's face and been able to identify him. Hell, that's even assuming the police would of put the time and resources that they did into solving it without the added media pressure on them to do so and even found an image of the guy's face to put out there to begin with. So what does it all boil down to? I guess it just seems to be another instance showing that the idea of equal justice under the law in this country is really just that. It's simply an idea. A fantasy, nothing more. That's what's underlying all of this, and why I don't at all blame people for not having sympathy for Brian Thompson. He doesn't need our sympathy anyway. He's dead. His family on the other hand, I do feel bad for them, but only a little. I feel much worse for the loved ones of the victims who never get the closure that they're going to get. If there's anything this case should get us to be really pissed about, I'd say it's why is this country only good at this when it's somebody "important" that this happens to? Or why are we so far behind frickin Germany?! Oh btw, I couldn't help but notice, the worst state at solving violent crime in the US (as of 2022): Florida. Almost 80%. Seriously?! Why am I not surprised though? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1pooh4u Posted December 10 Author Share Posted December 10 On X he followed Musk Thiel and some other r wing bum, Tucker Carlson, maybe? One outlet reported he “agreed w Tucker Carlson” on some issue, but it looked like Mangione made a clarification that seemed like he didn’t actually agree with him. None of this really matters. He’s not unlike many of us who don’t gaf about a cause until we, ourselves, get fucked over by something. He suffered from chronic back pain and had surgery that probably didn’t help him. Insurance probably (definitely) made getting treatment impossible to difficult and he became disillusioned with the healthcare system. A friend of his reported Mangione was unable to engage in sexual intimacy because the pain was so bad. Chronic pain can most definitely lead to an altered mental state. Insurance companies deny treatment and make people mentally ill. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark_Cloud_Overhead Posted December 11 Share Posted December 11 https://currently.att.yahoo.com/att/cm/freak-accident-turned-luigi-mangione-180522081.html Seems he had a spinal condition, spondylolisthesis, since childhood that got aggravated by something that happened to him during his first surfing lesson. Left him with intermittent numbness and a misaligned spine. He had surgery it seems, which seemed to help a bit but apparently left him with issues like not being able to sleep and IBS. Goes on to say he looked into psychedelics, but no evidence he actually tried them. Yeah, that's pretty much what I expected. Pretty tragic all right. I was thinking of that quote form the Joker, "All it takes is one bad day..." This guy had more than just a bad day though, and he wasn't crazy. Still, you never know what can happen. Sometimes the smallest thing can send your life hurtling in a whole different direction. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
