On the one hand, screw Luigi. This was a case of premeditated murder, and a politically motivated killing at that. Yes, the whole health insurance situation is a mess (though not nearly as bad as redditors and related constantly make it out to be), but what did killing this guy possibly accomplish?
On the other hand, I have very serious reservations about the death penalty. Anyone who trusts the DoJ to actually care about justice is just retarded, and giving them the power to kill in the name of their "justice" is frankly scary.
It sends a message.
As I stated above, people like the CEO will never be brought to justice otherwise.
Insurance is a scam industry, it always has been. Anyone still blindly following the system as if it works or that the two-tier justice for the haves and have-nots deserve the crumbling society they are given.
Justice was served. Plain and simple. People like Brian Thompson will never see the gavel of justice in any other capacity, and people too pacifist to do anything about it will just let the rotting justice system continue to give leeway to the profiteers and kakistocrats..
It's the medical industry itself. There's plenty of problems with socialised medicine that lethally scam people in a different way.
Exactly.
A CEO dying as a symbol of a broken system at least puts the broken system in the spotlight... it's better than everyone silently marinating in corruption.
Well, exactly, Luigi is clearly mentally ill.
Its not about the CEO, its about sending a message. The US deserves a better class of criminal Luigi Malone is going to give it to them.
