I'm not saying ted was right, I was just comparing the two. As for politics, after watching my 34 year old spouse die slowly and painfully, because his Insurance suddenly couldn't cover his treatments when they said they would, I find life to be way too short to worried about politics, hence the easy dismissal. I have no sympathy for the dead ceo, nor do I care about the shooter being turned in, I'm just stating what I think this whole thing is about.Cuz he’s affluent people might try to extort him for money. Depends on how good he can fight I guess.
No the fact that he did this “in a good cause” does not make it better, it makes what he did worse. Because he is disfiguring and shaming a good cause with his horrible action.
If he really cared about people dying from lack of coverage or lack of money or go bankrupt for getting sick and all the horrors of the health insurance industry a good thing he could do is take the 8000 dollars he has on him and donate it to someone for medical bills. He had a masters in computer science from a great university. He would have made tons of dough. Use some of that money to start a small charity or just find a way to find people who genuinely are in a desperate spot with their health and finances around it and pay for the meds or procedure they need. Become a doctor, start a practice and volunteer your skills. Write off the bills of as much poor and middle class people you can without being able to pay salaries and your taxes and bills.
That wasn’t cool enough for these guys. There isn’t enough drama or revolutionary enough. Not enough excitement or Ak-47s and red flags on the t-shirt doing what I suggested. Do he murders a guy. I mean I’m not impressed.
I was seeing Ben Shapiro talk about this and the comments he gets from his audience they are attacking him for what he has said. Have you heard what he’s said on this?
Kaczynski was a fanatic and the world he wanted would be horrible.
Health insurance isn’t corruption. Corruption is illegal activity, often bribes and stuff. What this company does is perfectly legal. What they do can be made illegal and it should bed.
We talk about what a shitshow American healthcare and insurance is all the time in this country. This guy murdered someone and changed nothing about healthcare by doing it.
Our fights are about politics and politics matters big time, you dismiss it to easily I think.
Lol fair enough my comment was directed at the shooter not you XDView attachment 846629
I'm just finding all of this fucking hilarious 😆. Besides United Healthcare was the insurance my husband was on, and after what happened to him, I have no sympathy for the dead billionaire.
😆 OopsLol fair enough my comment was directed at the shooter not you XD
the govt created division. we all know that. and now people know that,then why not try to start to get along and become stronger as a nation. right?He is basically this generation's Ted Kaczynski. People don't listen when you talk about it, until you become a radical. Revolutions against corruption have never been peaceful, and sometimes sacrifices must be made. That's basically what he did, he sacrificed his freedom and someone's life, to get people to listen. But everyone is so divided on so many levels (religion, politics, etc) they would rather fight each other rather than the corrupt. This wasn't about politics, it never was.
any relations to Chuck Mangione?"Nick Mangione died in 2008, leaving behind 37 grandchildren, including Luigi Mangione. The family did well enough that they were able to establish a family philanthropic foundation, which donated to the Greater Baltimore Medical Center and numerous other hospitals and healthcare institutions"
lol

Luigi Mangione Has Been Named As The Suspect In The Shooting Of Brian Thompson.
Police Have Named A 26-Year-Old Man As The Person Of Interest In the killing of a UnitedHealth executive as he was taken into custody in Pennsylvania after a dayslong manhunt.
New York City police commissioner, Jessica Tisch, identified the man as Luigi Mangione, saying he is “believed to be our person of interest” in the shooting of UnitedHealth Chief Executive Brian Thompson.
Ms Tisch said Mr Mangione was recognised by an employee at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, who called the police.
He was carrying a weapon that New York Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny described as a “ghost gun” capable of firing 9MM rounds and equipped with a suppressor. He also was carrying a mask that matched the one worn by the person wanted in the murder and had in his possession fake IDs similar to those used by the killer ahead of the slaying and a “handwritten document” that Ms Tisch said speaks to the motivation behind the crime.
“We don’t think that there is any specific threats to other people mentioned in that document,” the New York Police Department’s chief of detectives, Joseph Kenny, said. Mr Kenny said the document was three pages and that it suggested he had “ill will towards corporate America.”
He said Mr Mangione was born and raised in Maryland, “has ties” to San Francisco, and most recently lived in Honolulu.

Person of interest in Brian Thompson’s death taken into custody
A person of interest in the death of United HealthCare CEO Brian Thompson has been taken into custody by authorities.
Mr Mangione is an anti-capitalist Ivy League graduate who liked online quotes from “Unabomber’’ Ted Kaczynski — and wrote in a manifesto, “These parasites had it coming,” law-enforcement sources told The New York Post.
The Post reports that Mr Mangione apparently hated the medical community because of how it treated his sick relative. Online obituaries show he lost a grandmother in 2013 and a grandfather in 2017.
The manifesto mirrored the quotes that Mr Mangione posted on his Goodreads account from Kaczynski, who terrorised the country for nearly two decades before his arrest in 1996.
“Imagine a society that subjects people to conditions that make them terribly unhappy then gives them the drugs to take away their unhappiness,’’ Kaczynski wrote at one point in a quote liked by Mr Mangione.
He also subscribed to anti-capitalist and climate-change causes, the Post reports.
The manifesto said the suspect acted alone, sources said.
Fatal attack
Mr Thompson was fatally shot early Wednesday on his way into a Midtown Manhattan hotel for an investor meeting. The suspect wrote the words “delay,” “deny” and “depose” on bullets that are believed to have come from his gun, a law-enforcement official said. Those words are commonly associated with tactics insurers use to avoid paying claims.
The questioning in Pennsylvania comes after days of labour-intensive police work that has included scanning surveillance footage, interviewing witnesses, tracking down tips and leads and gathering evidence for forensic analysis.

The New York City Police Department said Friday they believed the suspect left the state on a bus. Authorities found surveillance footage showing the suspect entering Central Park on an e-bike, taking a taxi up the west side of Manhattan and entering a bus station. Police are offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to an arrest in the case. The FBI is offering up to $50,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for the crime.
The NYPD said Monday morning it didn’t have anything to share in response to questions about the person of interest being questioned in Pennsylvania.
By Friday, NYPD detectives had pieced together a timeline of the suspect’s movements on the day of the shooting, and his arrival in the city some 10 days earlier. Police had searched a hostel on Manhattan’s Upper West Side on Thursday, where they believe the man might have stayed.
The assailant got to New York City on Nov. 24 just after 10pm police said, on a bus that originated in Atlanta but made several stops along the way.

The morning of the shooting, the suspect was in the area outside the Hilton hotel for nearly 30 minutes, NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny told CNN on Friday.
He fled the scene on a bike and rode into Central Park, where investigators believe he might have abandoned a backpack. Officers found a bag there that looked similar days later.
Before the shooting, he visited a Starbucks and made purchases with cash, a law-enforcement official said. Investigators recovered a cellphone in an alley near the shooting.
Mr Thompson was ambushed in what police called a “brazen, targeted attack.” The father of two, who lived in Minnesota, was in the city for an investor meeting. He was heading to the event to help set up when he was shot, police said. Executives cut the event short after the attack.
Mr Thompson’s wife told NBC News that he had received threats potentially linked to issues of healthcare coverage. His killing brought fresh attention to corporate security concerns in the insurance industry. Health-insurance executives said it’s not unusual for companies and their leaders to be threatened or sued by customers, often over high costs or rejected coverage.

Lier! No Republicans/ conservatives believe in murder...for ANY reason!They just released the name and FB profile on the snitch. I'm not political by any means, but I find it rather hilarious that even my conservative/republican friends and Liberal/democrat friends both agree with the shooter.
Tell that to my conservative family dude 😆 first time we had agreed on something in yearsLier! No Republicans/ conservatives believe in murder...for ANY reason!
My old coworkers brother spent 30 years in federal prison for the murder of fed. He was housed right next door to Ted. Ted lived like a God and pretty much ran the prison according to my coworker...He is basically this generation's Ted Kaczynski. People don't listen when you talk about it, until you become a radical.

Yes I saw you mention that and i empathize, I don’t understand going through it but I do your anger and why you didn’t care. I think our system is vile I do.I'm not saying ted was right, I was just comparing the two. As for politics, after watching my 34 year old spouse die slowly and painfully, because his Insurance suddenly couldn't cover his treatments when they said they would, I find life to be way too short to worried about politics, hence the easy dismissal.
