    Is he on trial for inspiring other people to commit violent acts? Is that one of the charges he is facing? No, He is on trial for murder. How other people respond to that is not his responsibility.

    Additionally, he is still on trial. He has not been found guilty. So they are saying that something he may or may not have done is responsible for other people potentially doing something that they haven’t yet done.

    What a bunch of irrelevant hogwash.

    Its an inspirational story.

    One to aspire to. Who doesn’t want to be a hero?

    And make no mistake, slaying a dragon is a heroic act. Universally recognized as such by everyone except other dragons.

    has inspired others to embrace violence over reasoned debate

    It is definitely not the murder of whatever ceo that fueled the will to go over “reasoned debate”. It’s the absolute lack of effects from “reasoned debate” for the majority of populations.

      People: I need X to survive/not suffer/live a dignified life.
      Corporation: Literally fuck off and die.

      Also corporation: Why do they hate us? :((((

    This is journalistic malpractice. They’re trying to try this guy for other potential crimes against the absolutely most hated minority in america, for profit health insurance CEOs.

      This is journalistic malpractice.

      How? They’re reporting what the prosecution is saying in court. Isn’t that the whole point of the press, to report facts?

    If that’s true, then let’s sue the right-wing media for glorifying every white-supremacist mass shooting as a misunderstood troubled souls, encouraging any angsty WASPs out there looking for attention

        I think a couple pretty damning pieces of evidence are:

        1. United claim denial rate of 32% in 2023 doubles the industry average rate of 16%:

        2023 claim rate showing United at 32%, twice the industry average of 16%

        https://www.bostonglobe.com/2024/12/05/data/unitedhealthcare-claim-denial-rates/

        1. Dr attempting to call United to get a necessary procedure claim approved, getting handed off to a Dr who will not identify themselves by name nor NPI not familiar with current state of care denied:

        United used an algorithm to automate claim denials which boosted profits and killed people as a result. They murdered people for profit. And everyone but Brian the CEO got away with it.

    Well let’s talk about that in regards to Kyle rittenhouse, the January 6th rioters, Daniel penny, Vance boelter and the endless stream of far right terrorists we are forced to tolerate. Luigi is a man of the people a real life hero in a soul crushing dystopian hell hole.

    Let me get this straight.

    A group of serial killers go around killing people for fun and power.

    Then someone decides enough is enough and takes one of those serial killers out themselves.

    It’s the guy that defended that is inciting violence?

    I don’t understand…

    This is such BS. There’s actually been a disturbing LACK of copy cats, and dead CEO’s.
