    Counterpoint - greedy bastard CEOs killing your relatives by denying healthcare they’ve been paying premiums for for years is inspiring violence.

    How many other healthcare CEOs have been shot since then? None? Hardly inspiring then.

    This is such BS. There’s actually been a disturbing LACK of copy cats, and dead CEO’s.

      There have been at least 2 more CEO killings recently. But mainstream media is deliberately not reporting on it, because it’d likely lead to even more. Don’t forget everything is owned and managed by the same groups of people.

    Let it be stated here, if I’m ever inspired to commit acts of violence it will be strictly because a Nazi is the richest man on earth and the only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.

    No, the United Healthcare’s CEO inspired other CEOs to deny more claims, which has a MUCH higher death count.

    This is harm reduction.

    Is he on trial for inspiring other people to commit violent acts? Is that one of the charges he is facing? No, He is on trial for murder. How other people respond to that is not his responsibility.

    Additionally, he is still on trial. He has not been found guilty. So they are saying that something he may or may not have done is responsible for other people potentially doing something that they haven’t yet done.

    What a bunch of irrelevant hogwash.

      I would argue our shitty healthcare/corporate greed that has resulted in hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths and suffering is inspiring people to commit violent acts. Why else would someone do them?

      Edit - missed a word

        Millions of deaths. Hundreds of thousands of deaths a year. They are monsters that deserve what they get.

      Did they drop the terrorism charges or did I just misunderstand the clamor about it? Seems like their argument would be related to those charges, not that it’s a good argument.

    Zero proof of that. Just scaremongering and sensationalized BS by prosecutors. I mean, wishful thinking and all, but still not real.

    Well let’s talk about that in regards to Kyle rittenhouse, the January 6th rioters, Daniel penny, Vance boelter and the endless stream of far right terrorists we are forced to tolerate. Luigi is a man of the people a real life hero in a soul crushing dystopian hell hole.

    Its an inspirational story.

    One to aspire to. Who doesn’t want to be a hero?

    And make no mistake, slaying a dragon is a heroic act. Universally recognized as such by everyone except other dragons.
