That's the end of that. Probably the most boring outcome imaginable, no OJ/Zimmerman/Chauvin level trial or anything.>Such was the scene: the still-faithful celebrating a man for a crime they believe he may not have committed, or else wishing he’d kept up the fight in court. It seemed, that day, that the cult of Luigi had run its course.>It was probably always going to end like this. Yes, Mangione’s admirers shared his loathing of the insurance industry, which Americans hated before Thompson’s killing and hate still. But Mangione was a creature of a political moment.>December 2024, after all, was the season of the “vibe shift.” Donald Trump had become the first Republican to win the popular vote since 2004, and, for the first time since he descended the escalator in 2015, had the approval of a majority of Americans. Corporate America, so ostentatious in its commitments to the cause of “racial justice” four years earlier, was now reconciling itself with the right. For much of the political left, Mangione had, if nothing else, identified a solution to that condition: you could just kill the bastards.>For many on the left, killing the bastards no longer seems necessary. The returns, in any case, are poor. Roman told me she’d bought a UnitedHealthcare plan after Mangione put two bullets in Thompson. “It’s still shitty,” she said. “So it didn’t really accomplish what he wanted it to.”

Do they think executing or imprisoning him would make everyone calm down and give up and not kill more executives? Come on.

Luigi's greatest sin is that he betrayed and destroyed himself for nothing.
>Hyphenated last name>>541320127This
>>541320223Its silly, as if Luigi thought he would get away with it lol. He knew he'd get caught, he decided that killing that guy was worth the punishment. Its that simple. And they're scared more people will decide the same, and if that reaches critical mass thats what they really fear. The end of the system.Also its silly to assume right wingers dont also want to kill certain people.
>>541320072Women literally saw 1 pic of him that wasnt flattering and got the ick
>>541320072It upsets me we have millions of radicalised young men but only a dozen or so are ever willing to do something about it
>>541320072I'm sorry, was there an allocution here explaining how the murder weapon ended up still being in his backpack 3 states away 3 days later? I'd be really interested in hearing the reasons for that.
