UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson fatally shot outside Hilton hotel in Midtown in targeted attack: cops - Just Part and Parcel of visiting a Big City

[MetokurGroomedMe]

Is it true the firm he managed was refusing people coverage at a rate half again the industry average?
If that's so, then frankly, you could rub a video of his weeping children right in my face, and I still wouldn't care.
Good riddance to a miserable, worthless man.
I'm not going to lionize Luigi for what he did, but it's the way of the world that wicked men usually deal with one another, and some men's wickedness exists simply as a check to that of others.
And if you would avoid a similar fate, then don't position yourself at the top of a veritable ziggurat of human misery.

1/3rd of all claims were denied by UHC, the company he was CEO of. Industry average is 17%, and he was denying roughly 33% so yes, about double the average.

No matter what punishment he will get, it has shown the People that violence is the solution.

More than that, the outsized amount of media attention and the adoration of the public very well may spur the mass shooter type to target CEOs and publicly reviled figures instead of schools and supermarkets. Positive public attention is even better than negative public attention.

the difference between the McDonald's manager and brian thompson is the McDonald's manager doesn't have the power to condemn my mother to death for being sick in the wrong way, despite never missing a premium

That's the problem. I don't think I disagree with anyone here that Luigi seems pretty brilliant.

Luigi was intelligent enough to pick a very specific person out of like 370 million that resonated with a lot of people. On top of that he didn't really politicize it. Many people have perceived his actions as being "just" or acceptable.

When people see that this is acceptable and he has become a folk hero then the inevitable copycats will try to do the same thing and they're much dumber than Luigi was and they pick targets that they personally think are egregious but actually aren't anywhere near as egregious.

For example if some mouth breathing retard does the same thing to Elon Musk or some tech CEO and justifies it with "they're a billionaire! Eat the rich! Muh heckin' transphobia!" It's going to be very different. What if they interpret the praise Luigi has gotten in this specific case to mean that if they target someone else based on their own belief system that they will also get the same level of praise?

Besides the inevitable politicizing of stuff like this, keep in mind if there are copy cats they're also going to be stupider and instead of this ultra precision attack it's likely that innocent bystanders would be harmed.

So what I'm trying to say here is that just because Luigi was patient and disciplined and picked someone who had the power to condemn your mother to death and didn't harm any innocent bystanders - don't expect the next Luigi to uphold the same standards and don't expect the next Luigi to take action and think they too won't also become a folk hero (which I would argue is why we still get columbine copycats... they see the reaction the Columbine guys got and love the Columbine aesthetic and they try and do something to get the same reaction)

More than that, the outsized amount of media attention and the adoration of the public very well may spur the mass shooter type to target CEOs and publicly reviled figures instead of schools and supermarkets. Positive public attention is even better than negative public attention.

And more than that Brian Thompson was a total ghost as far as CEOs and publicly reviled figures go. For all of the justification that people have given for him being a righteous target his personal LinkedIn had like 5-10 angry customers writing stuff and he received a few personal threats (allegedly, according to his wife who he was separated from)

There are way more hated CEOs and "publicly reviled figures" online who literally have nowhere near the amount of "moral debt" that Brian Thompson had (I call the death/sickness/suffering caused by his actions/inactions "moral debt"). There are CEOs who have to have giant security teams whenever they go anywhere and there are also CEOs who can't even afford that kind of security.

What happens when "the next Luigi" is fucking Christine Westside Chandler taking "action" because of fucking blue arms thinking they're going to gun down a SEGA executive in broad daylight and become an instant sensation and heartthrob for women and gay guys worldwide? What happens when "the next Luigi" is whatever crazy person you want to pick off of social media who is aggrieved over some totally minor/insignificant shit and tries some shit like this?


And btw this is why I said earlier that no sane person with a "following" would publicly come out in support of Luigi unless they're fucking retarded and irresponsible. It's one thing to not come out in support of him to avoid murder become acceptable and it's another thing entirely when one of your mentally unstable fanbois decides what you write is the fucking gospel and decides to gun down 20 people because of it.

It will be an improvement to society. There is not a CEO on this planet who didn't get there by stepping on the backs of others. I am not at all suggesting they all deserve to die, but if the schizophrenic hell-bent on suicide or making a name for himself decides to target the CEO of SEGA, it's better than targeting a school or shooting up a grocery store full of working class people.

You're seemingly ignorant of the danger that normal people live with every single day. Some nigger set a random lady on fire while riding on the Subway a couple of days ago and that is just a normal day of the week for NYC. Forgive me if I don't clutch pearls because rich people have to deal with crazy too now.

LUIGI MANGIONE KILLING BRIAN THOMSON NEVER HAPPENED, BUT IT SHOULD HAVE. (Any other take is fake and gay and don't @ me)

also, an interesting experiment i saw on twitter:
for all those saying that it must be luigi based on cctv, tell the difference between these two women:

and then these two men


if the hunk doesn't fit, you must acquit!

Trans butcher-surgeons have many former patients whose lives they ruined looking for justice. My point here is even when you're a prominent person who is a "ghost" compared to others, your victims know exactly who you are.

Stupid people kill for stupid reasons. Maybe they saw John Wick. Maybe they watched John Q. Maybe they read Stories of Robin Hood and His Merry Outlaws. "Copycat killing" is a media canard to link up unrelated events, and to justify keeping information from dissemination.

It's just more proof that colored people (Italian) are more prone to violence. Is it genetic or cultural, bros?

This is just dumb. He is clearly White, he hit only his target and took care to avoid spraying bullets wildly into a crowd of people. He also targeted the source of his anger and not the first person closest to him.

Now that the media has successfully turned it into a left vs. right thing, why not go full retard and make it about race too?

Jokes aside, there was a definite coordinated effort to have the left claim Luigi as one of "their own" and frame the whole thing as a left vs. right thing instead of a class thing. I suspect the wealthy CEO class definitely doesn't want right wingers to join in on the action.

Technically being middle eastern doesn't make you go full nigger.

Speaking of which, he wouldn't be able to testify in court if they don't remove his cuffs.

 

[young chestnut]

there was a definite coordinated effort to have the left claim Luigi as one of "their own" for some reason.

I don't think it's particularly coordinated. The very progressive left has been thirsting for CEO blood since Occupy. They let themselves get occupied by DEI/tranny/race shit, which let them larp as cool, hot civil rights activists like from the black and white pictures in their textbooks, the ones who argued about violence being necessary sometimes, but it failed and made everyone miserable, because the targets were dumb and the philosophy open to raising up the most mentally unwell. Disillusionment is high and the movement has been cracking hard in the last year or so, with even the NYT allowing some critical discourse. Deep down, these people know they've accomplished nothing but failure in the last decade. They don't know where to go or what to do differently but they've lost energy. They're ugly, unhealthy, and ineffective-their photo is not worth taking.

And here comes an ultra photogenic hot guy with ambiguous enough politics. He beat the boss level and you can project whatever you want onto a white male health insurance CEO. He's the 1%, he's the patriarchy, he's systematic racism, whatever you want. Why wouldn't they claim Luigi? His actions and persona put #goals into sudden and sharp perspective.

 

[Get the rope Macaulay!]

I literally cannot imagine a 26 yr old american man saying that now.

i honestly can't imagine a 26 year old white american male not saying that. ever since Nick Mullen hyped up the sopranos in 2016 it has been all the rage in "trans rights" circles, Luigi 100% would use that term.

2025 is going to be even spicier than this year.

the Feds have been holding hundreds of people without trial for years, they can keep this nigga in prison for at least 5 before a conviction happens. that would be my plan as the feds.

much like passing the ASVAB,

he couldn't manage a 50? how fucking retarded is this kid. you literally have to not know how to do basic algebra to get that low of a score.

The most famous political figures in the world (JFK, Trump, Lincoln, Gandhi) were either assassinated or had an attempt against them

yes political figures, with rich figures its a different story. even in the last decade or so there have been millionaires who got murdered and very few people know or remember, usually because they were scumbags

that perp walk was one of the most damaging thing for Eric Adams - he made a "terrorist" look fucking awesome. we literally saw this with the Boston Bomber - the only reason he didn’t stay hot was because of who he killed. Obviously I don't want them to stop posting Luigi pics and videos, but every picture of Luigi looking roguishly handsome just makes everyone love him more.

in general the perp walk does more harm than good, it only did well the first couple times in the 1980s when it was used against italians that were considered untouchable by law enforcement to show that america was willing to take down crime lords. but by the time of Gotti it just painted the US government as bullies.

Adams being retarded enough not to see that tracks with everything else about this guy. much like Kamala, this nig failed up his entire life.

But you basically are saying "they all deserve to die" by suggesting broadly that "it will be an improvement to society". And I think you're also assuming that in your model that this only happens to CEOs and nobody else. And if that's your argument the that's fine I guess.

Today it's the CEO of UHG and tomorrow it's "shooting up a grocery store full of UHG shareholders" - after all the shareholders are also responsible in this all. Would it matter if they were working class shareholders though?

Das rite. Future Luigi is only going to go for CEOs and nobody else.

Stupid people kill for stupid reasons. Maybe they saw John Wick. Maybe they watched John Q. Maybe they read Stories of Robin Hood and His Merry Outlaws. "Copycat killing" is a media canard to link up unrelated events, and to justify keeping information from dissemination.

I don't disagree that there's always an effort to thwart the flow of information in cases like these and especially for media outlets to try and use what information they have privileged access to in disingenuous ways to try and manipulate things. However this incident is quite unprecedented in that the shooter picked someone that bypassed the typical left/right framework that most retards in the world are incapable of escaping from and therefore the attention they've received is also unprecedented. My particular concern is that stupid people do not understand any of this.

I don't think it's particularly coordinated. The very progressive left has been thirsting for CEO blood since Occupy.

Imagine that it wasn't just "CEO blood" that caused all of this but there was some sort of systematic failure in the way companies like these operate and their role in the world? https://www.reddit.com/r/Geico/comments/1brrtbj/effective_leadership_vs_spreadsheet_management/

Imagine "raging against the machine" and being unable to comprehend that "the machine" is literally just Microsoft Excel. I've seen people give out hypothetical figures of the number of deaths caused by Brian Thompson but those are amateur numbers, Microsoft Excel has killed way more people.

You do realize that The Sopranos is considered pretty much the greatest TV show/piece of media ever created? If not the greatest then one of the very greatest? It was universally acclaimed when it was created and basically nothing better has ever been made.

Before Nick Mullen or whoever you think is meaningful ever mentioned it, it was already extremely well watched on its own. Its poularity has nothing to do with "trans rights" circles, no more than Fallout New Vegas has literally zero to do with transgender people no matter how hard they try to insist it is "their game" or part of "their culture" (it isn't)

 

[hog cranking frog]

The Sopranos, known for being a little indie production, made popular 15 years after it's debut by most popular comedian ever Nick Mullen and his trans friend Adam.

Maybe there are multiverses and we all post on the same website. Only way to explain this retardation.
