Absolutely gonna get downvoted for hell for this but he killed someone. Murder is a crime. He’s a criminal. Whether you think the person he killed deserved it or not is irrelevant, giving a free pass because of that sets an extremely dangerous precedent
I understand people are tense about healthcare and sometimes become emotional but come on man. Do better
Ah yes, check my comment history so you can find out that I checks notes… care about the environment that we live in? Biggest gotcha ever.
I am implying that this is not a black and white issue no matter how much you want it to be, you can’t remove an essential part of the equation and state that it’s different that way. That’s the same fallacy as people who say shit like “Gay rights or good economy?” as if they’re mutually exclusive.
Never said it wasn’t
I can have 2 opinions at the same time
0/10 gotcha try again tomorrow
By definition of the word, yes.
For all other purposes, no.
so funny seeing lemmy bounce around “he killed him so good” and “he didnt kill him it hasnt been proven in a court of law!”
It’s either one or the other dood
“yeah bro he’s a murderer, but he killed someone bad so he ISN’T a murderer!”
No comment
No, he’s accused of killing someone.
Accused with evidence that has a contradictory history over the course of the manhunt.
But he’s not a criminal until he’s convicted by a jury of his peers.
You know how a trial works, right?
He still has to stand trial and be convicted by a trial of his peers.
Even if the evidence is overwhelming, the jury still has to issue a verdict.
It would hardly be the first time there’s a hung jury or even a nullified jury.
You need to learn how the justice system actually works, instead of watching law and order.
In the grand scheme of things he’s going to jail
Jury nullification will not work and if you think it does you are delusional
In the real world people don’t excuse murder because it was a CEO that died
I never said he’s a bad person, just that he’s a criminal.
I’m glad he is dead and Luigi is a hero if he did it.
Absolutely sickening comment and its insane that this is SOMEHOW the ““morally correct”” opinion to have on this platform
Never said it was ok for the health insurance companies to do what they are doing, they are parasites
Once again you are missing the point that shooting a guy in the street simply exacerbates the problem and doesn’t solve it
You seriously think Luigi’s actions helped people? You think health insurance companies will forget their prime directive because 1 CEO died? In fact this will just make them even MORE greedy because they have the police on their side now and they can be terrible without consequence
If I shoot the Nestlé CEO does that return all the water they stole from Africa? Of course not, and if that happened you people would probably be celebrating that as well
Luigi’s actions have been a net negative to society, and will jusy create more divide between people. What do you think the world would be like if everyone had Luigi’s mindset of “I’m going to kill this person because I don’t like them”. We would be in complete chaos and a warlord would break into your house and either turn you into a slave or kill you in 1 day
I’m not ok with the health insurance industry, but I’m also not OK with shooting people in the street instead of even trying to fix the issue diplomatically. Seems lile everyone has lost their collective minds over this and just default to “Health care bad so we can kill CEOs!!!”. Without ever questioning the overreaching consequences.
The amount of Luigi simping on Lemmy is disgusting and I haven’t said anything until now because I knew this would be the exact response. Adults having the functional capacity of children and refusing to see that this type of rhetoric is going to cause so much violence. Disagree if you want, I’ll happily argue with you because I like arguments, but just know that this type of language is, and has been, responsible for so much suffering and hatred in the world.
The fact that having basic fucking morals is said to be “dictated by the state” is completely mentally inept and it’s wild how people actually think this is GOOD. Shame on you all.
What if we slayed it by bombing the entire town, do we still celebrate?
5/10 gotcha try again tomorrow
No you disingenuous dick, the pearl clutching is because the supposed “bombed city” you referred to us by your own admission literally just chatter.
You’re being a fear-mongering charlatan.
We prefer to stop people like Brian Thompson, whose killed and tortured tens of millions by weaponizing boring insurance policies, peacefully.
For the sake of those tens of millions, it’s going to stop. Let’s push for the peaceful option, with the understanding that it will be stopping one way or another. Hopefully the peaceful way works, and we’ll keep doing everything we can to ensure that it does.
Lets’s push for the peaceful option
While you’re shilling for a murderer, that’e some level 9000 cognitive dissidance that even lunduke would be proud of
Hmm, I think your position is well-founded. I agree - shooting people usually created division and doesn’t solve the underlying problem. However, that doesn’t mean that it has to be like that in every case.
I personally propose to wait a few years before judging. It is very against the spirit of the Internet, but you raise a valid point - there is very good ground to suspect it will have negative consequences.
I’m not gonna say that murder is right or anything. But, people in power can and often will threaten other people with their lives and get away with it. Elon Musk is a good example of that. Yes, we don’t know have any proof of him killing people, but he can casually and “as a joke” say that other people should be assassinated.
The problem isn’t that a CEO was killed, the problem is that it has gotten to that point, where so many people get killed overall, and the big powerful people don’t give a fuck. But when suddenly someone “important” gets killed, then it’s a big problem.
Whether you think the person he killed deserved it or not is irrelevant, giving a free pass because of that sets an extremely dangerous precedent
It’s just patently absurd. It’s an angry mob. They probably didn’t even know the victim. They could turn on you, me, or each other.
I get the sentiment, and yes rule of law is what we should strive for.
But if somebody murders an active serial killer, my internal desire for practical improvements to human well being keeps me from getting too upset about it.
And yes it’s illegal, and if the system is working as intended, the assassin will go to prison. Maybe the people intervene via jury nullification, maybe not. But if conditions are bad enough, individuals can choose to live as a hero in prison rather than as a desperate anonymous poor person.
I don’t want to see children lose their parents even if their parent is a scumbag CEO, but I want human civilization to heal and flourish even more.
