As a British lad, I've been keeping tabs on the news about this guy and the wide support he's getting.

With so much support, surely the public will get him out of jail just to spite the bastard rich kids and their CEO baron fathers?

The Man who was shot allowed a massive corporation to dangle its strings over people's lives, medication being pulled away which is horrifying to me who uses the NHS as my primary medical service for hearing.

What do you think? Will Luigi "The CEO Reaper" Mangione ever get out of prison?

"When peaceful revolution become impossible, violent revolution becomes inevitable." -President John F. Kennedy


If the system was fair, bealth insurance executives like Brian Thompson would have been indicted for his role in United Healthcare's evil practices of arbitrarily denying claims, and would have been convicted and in prison already. There would be new laws passed to regulate health insurance companies.

But in our system, people like him get away with doing evil things, so vigilantism becomes inevitable.

So how do we move forward? I think the Luigi Mangione should face a fair, non-politicized trial, by a jury of his peers. The jury should be informed of their rights, including jury nullification, if they choose so (they currently do not get read that in their jury instructions). Hold the trial, let everyone present their arguments, let Luigi state why he did it (if he choses to speak), then let the jury decide his fate.

But moving forward, the health insurance companies have to be regulated, or we're getting more vigilantes. Its inevitable.
