    Everyone knows this is theater.

    Billionaires won’t kill him before the trial, they’ll wait to see if he gets a death sentence.

    To everyone else, he’s a hero.

      Please don’t include me in your “everyone”

      Straight up murder does make healthcare less expensive; rather, it cheapens human life.

        UHC’s shareholders are currently suing them for approving “too many claims” in the wake of the shooting. I think the shooting has already probably saved many lives.

        You’re right, insurance companies are incredibly evil for socially murdering so many people, cheapening human life.

        Very well, your request to no longer be considered a person has been approved.

        Then healthcare should be dirt cheap with how these companies’ decisions result in excess suffering and early death for their customers.

    The only people that are a threat to Luigi’s life is the state…

    The shackles and vest are to make it look like he’s dangerous and that normal people want to kill him for his alleged actions.

        And people detached from reality.

        If you acquire Messiah status, you may expect someone from outside the reality-based community to think killing you is somehow The Right Thing To Do.

      The government will do their best to label him as a terrorist who deserves nothing short of death for his alleged crime.

    But it’s important that we all know that killing wealthy, powerful people is extra bad.

    In response, the judge ordered Mangione’s lawyers to be cuffed and gagged.
