What are your thoughts on the Luigi Mangione situation?

I think he's a hero, Luigi has my highest respect. What I want to happen after this trial is over is he either gets a short sentence in prison or he is found not guilty so he's let go. The system wants him to get the death sentence, so it's really about Luigi's lawyer and the jury saving him. We'll see if either justice prevails or fails from the corrupted system.

They're trying to make an example of him to make us afraid so we don't act out against the system like he did, but they're just making him look even more like a hero. They're legitimately afraid.

So you support vigilante justice? Where does it stop?

I agree that Mangione’s prosecution is overkill for a state murder. The federal charges are excessive. The last high profile case where that happened were the Rodney King cops, who faced federal charges after being acquitted on state charges. Were you against that, too? We have laws and a court system to formalize punishment and not make it auto popular opinion.

What should happen is better regulation of health insurance and limits on CEO pay, but I’m not holding my breath. We just elected a guy who is against that. Where were all these Gen Z Mangione fans on November 6? Not voting, or voting for Trump probably.
@JJones Can we say Luigi's actions were understandable, even if unacceptable in a civil society?
@DogMan It depends who "they" are. Trump's cult will gladly carry out vigilante justice if they think he approves of it.

@LeopoldBloom Trump will not support Vigilante justice.

He’s not the killer he’s a distraction bought and paid for by the GOP. The real mercenary killer is likely in Europe. The UhC ceo knew things that the gop wanted to silence.

they're going to hire another CEO at double the salary because of the inherent dangers now.... don't see that as a solution
