    I’m not well versed in the saints, but I think this is a better origin story than most.

    All we need is a tearful prayer, with a vow towards some further action: even if it’s just in a cell for the rest of his life.

    And then he is on the same level, in my opinion, of some medieval saints I know a little about.

    Could easily be a saint for denied claims and other obstacles in healing.

      I would like to note that Luigi has not been found guilty of anything and that both him deserving the presumption of innocence as well as the shooting being justified can be true at the same time.

      The police are trying to convince the public that he did it so they can make a show out of punishing him to deter future acts against the rich, we shouldn’t do part of their job for them.

    The most beneficial effect the murder had was that it got people talking about how much they hate the American health insurance system.

    You guys do realize that you are glorifying a literal murderer, right? Someone who killed a human being in cold blood.

    Okay, just checking.

        So you’re saying you’re pro vigilantes and pro death penalty without court order?

        Besides, that CEO didn’t kill anyone personally. One could argue you killed a few kids yourself by buying cheap electronics and clothing. If you now start just killing people that you think deserve dying because of some moral standard you think you have, you’re a fucking lunatic without any moral standard.

          So, Hitler wasn’t bad. Stalin was OK, didn’t kill anyone right?

          But their decisions did. Their position of power allowed them to.

          Just cause they didn’t murder directly doesn’t mean they played a fair game. They knew exactly what they were doing. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes goes for bad people too.

              Right, but still a person who had a part in making the lives of lots of people miserable or unnecessarily short.
              If a CEO isn’t responsible for the policies of the company they’re CEO of, why would you need a CEO in the first place?

          He didn’t kill personally, he just gave orders to other people to kill people.
          Which means his killer didn’t kill anyone personally either, he just pressed some trigger and the gun did everything else

          Manson didn’t kill anyone directly. Doesn’t mean he was not innocent of murder

          He only died in prison cuz he didn’t wear a tie and go to board meetings

          Can you explain why only victims of the likes of Thompson should fear, but the CEOs don’t need to fear even though they profit from rejecting life- or health-saving treatments?

          Osama bin Laden also didn’t kill anybody personally on 9/11, and the attack killed only 2,977 victims, which is almost certainly a lower body count than UnitedHealthcare under Brian Thompson’s leadership. Yet the US military personnel who violated Pakistan’s sovereignty and murdered him are heroes?

          What odd moral standards!
