Looks like somebody is really afraid of #Luigi, and probably should be. #freeluigi #LuigiMangione

@fadeev @lisamelton One is a murderer and the other is Luigi!
@fadeev They ain't afraid of Luigi, they're afraid of a rescue attempt. šŸ˜†

@fadeev

I see it as a message to the general public.

Would *you* go and kill 4 attractive young people? Probably not.

Would *you* get really p1ssed off if you were sick, and an insurance company screwed you over when you most needed help? Probably. Who wouldn't?
So, if you identify with someone who actually *did* something about it, here's what will happen to YOU!

@fadeev ... hmmm ... looks like they are more scared that a group of sympathetic people will try to FREE him than him doing anything.

@fadeev the message I get is that college students are expendable but CEOs are not.
@fadeev Hoping that in 15 years he'll be president.

@fadeev

the greedy & rich are always good at protecting their lives and they know exactly why.
And for money they always find people to do the job

#Luigi #greedy #rich #freeluigi #LuigiMangione #Hero

@fadeev They intend it more as a message. "This is what you're up against when you move against the ruling class!"

I just see a bunch of insecure chickenshit fuckwads who had to hide behind a badge to act like toughs.

@fadeev That’s definitely political theater. They are trying to send a message of being tough on anti-CEO crime (plus telling other CEOs ā€œwe think you’re much more important than four measly college studentsā€.)

@fadeev And the story keeps getting shittier. Those who are suing are the same that expect a return for UHC denying what should be covered insurance events.

The people that are suing United Health Care for giving "too much care" have names and addresses also.

@MHowell thanks for the recommendation!
@MHowell @fadeev @pluralistic Agree wholeheartedly. It's one of the best things I've read in years.
@MHowell @fadeev @pluralistic Although Cory already posted on the genesis of this story, part of me wondered if the words "It was a story, not a blueprint." ever happened in any version of the Multiverse where this story exists.
