“Courageous” that McDonald’s asshole is gonna understand why Luigi Mangione, if that’s his real name, did what he did once the employee needs to use their pitiful health insurance provided by a billion dollar corporation

I hate CVS w every fiber of my being.  They should not be allowed to get in the health insurance business.  I gotta get my meds through them. My insurance only allows me to refill 3 days prior to running out. I put the refill in and they never have my meds in stock. It’s like getting a refill from them is a surprise. Every month for the last 15 years

TYT Cenk Uygur really pissed me off. He said of Mangione “he read the manifesto and his use of “parasite” was a red flag” dehumanizing language blah blah blah….” Was called parasite during my debates”…my other half shocked me cuz he lost his mind about it first.  He said “this jerk off doesn’t know the difference between calling someone a parasite because who they are opposed to what they do?”

but yeah Cenk is an asshole talking about “dehumanizing” a man whose job was to pretend every single UHC member weren’t human.

In our updated version of "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas", Cindy Lou Who walks up behind the Grinch and pumps 3 bullets into him.  

No redemption story, only hatred, anger and violence.

Oh, and the Grinch's dog was euthanized.

Mario's not gonna be happy. Sorry, I couldn't resist. It's literally the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the guy's name. Anyway, not a professional, but a fairly smart guy (an Ivy League grad I'm seeing) who had a history that gave him reason to hate the health insurance industry here. Reporting says he was upset about how a sick relative of his got treated. Also, read he had a photo on his X account showing four pins in a spine. His own? Not sure, if he had a personal bad experience as well, but in any case looks like it's more or less over now. Assuming of course they got the right guy, though it certainly seems like they do.

Well, it's guaranteed he won't have one.  Welcome to the Trumpiverse, where people deserve killin', no matter if you're the "compassionate, peace-loving party" or GOP.

I had to change off CVS because their pharmacy stopped carrying a prescription eye drop that every pharmacy carries.

Damn, guy isn't just sort of smart, he was actually valedictorian of his graduating class. No real criminal record. Even said he wrote about the Unabomber  that "“He was a violent individual – rightfully imprisoned – who maimed innocent people." Must of been something pretty tragic that happened to him or somebody he really cared about I'm thinking all right, cuz he doesn't at all fit the profile of your typical killer.

If Trump gets his way, peace won't be an option and compassion will have its limits.

More that any slight, real (UHC) or imagined (road rage, etc.) gives someone justification to take a life.  Remember there are those that feel abortion is murder, so they fell justified to kill those working in such clinics.

 The people thinking abortion is murder are wrong. It is not. The CEO of UHC destroyed the lives of living breathing out of the womb capable of free will people. 
I disagree with you. This is the world we live in now. Masks are off. No one has to pretend to care about the lives of people who obtain their wealth in immoral ways. We don’t have to pretend to care about those people who wish to do harm to others.   Idealism is dead.

You're missing the point.  It isn't about wrong or right, it's about whether or not a person feels they have justification about taking a life.  Eventually we end up in a Hatfield vs McCoy situation, with everybody trying to "get even".

You mean we haven’t encountered enough bloodshed already?

FWIW,  the apathy people feel about this guys hit is not a good thing, but instead of chastising those people, we need to acknowledge that this is what voters asked for and this what they deserve.  I dont like the idea of a free for all; even so you better believe I’m going to cheer on anyone who murders a Trump official or MAGA supporting tool because this system is designed to reward sectarian violence.

Denying treatment and/or medication out of concern for the shareholders and the bottom line is a bit more than a slight.

We’re already there.  The only justification you need is that the people who disagree with you are actively trying to harm you.

No, the Hatfield/McCoy thing I'm talking about is you killed one of mine, so I have to kill one of yours - and back & forth we go.  We're not there yet, but it's coming.

I feel this tit for tat may be applicable to the usual left or right rhetoric, but not the one percent who are obvioisly outnumbered by the lower classes.

After all the shit we’ve witnessed and the lawlessness that has been rewarded sometimes it’s just fuckin therapeutic to see a piece of shit get their comeuppance. Doesn’t mean people want lawlessness or that it’s a hatfield McCoy situation. People are fuckin tired of seeing how the law doesn’t apply to the wealthiest or how people make so much money off the backs of human misery. In light of recent national and global events how could anyone blame people for thinking Luigi Mangione is a hero.   Finally a wealthy piece of crap met their karmic fate for all to see.  It felt good after all that losing. No wonder people don’t really want to hear from the “oh but he was a human and the law” types of people rn.

We’re not going to have a civil war in the literal sense.  People think the Hatfield and McCoy conflict was about entitlement, but most historians agree it was something of an extreme manifestation of survival in the post Civil War South.  It’s not literal eye for eye, yet there are still a pile of bodies in its wake.

Yeah, have people forgotten public executions were once a thing? Who cares that he was a father? 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.

If someone assassinated Hitler shortly after the holocaust started, would you take issue with people landing between uncaring and gleeful?

'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.
