Mangione is accused of leaving behind evidence showing disdain for the insurance industry. Similarly, the NFL headquarters gunman identified as Shane Tamura left behind a handwritten note blaming the league and football for causing chronic traumatic encephalopathy, known at CTE, prosecutors noted.
I believe there is talk of that evidence being mishandled or planted.
If he did then we might not be as fucked as it looks like we are. But so far, I’m not seeing it happening. The rich aren’t scared enough.
Luigi Mangione may not be a “hero”, but healthcare insurance executives are surely villains, and they, as well as billionaires, should not exist, because they represent an existential threat to us all.
So he took out a threat to us, I think that qualifies him for hero status.
I sure as fuck wish it did, where are these copycats?
Lmao that’s awesome
Send more blue shells. The health insurance industry is a cancer upon the country.
Luigi did not create a general disdain for the insurance industry. The insurance industry did that on its own.
The general disdain for the insurance industry created Luigi
By “prosecutors”, I wondered if it was just some political commentator who was a prosecutor. Nope. It’s the prosecutors for this case in one of their filings:
The prosecution outlined the threat in a filing late Wednesday on a procedural matter in federal court in Manhattan, where they plan to try to convince a jury that Mangione deserves death. No federal trial date has been set.
In their filing Wednesday, prosecutors wrote that Mangione poses a continuing danger in part because he seeks to influence others.
“Simply put, the defendant hoped to normalize the use of violence to achieve ideological or political objectives,” they said. “Since the murder, certain quarters of the public — who openly identify as acolytes of the defendant — have increasingly begun to view violence as an acceptable, or even necessary, substitute for reasoned political disagreement.”
They’re saying that he deserves to die not because of his actions, but because of what he represents. (I guess in their eyes, there is no such thing as a martyr.)
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced in April that she was directing federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty for “an act of political violence” and a “premeditated, cold-blooded assassination that shocked America.”
So, they’re being ordered by Pam Bondi to seek the death penalty. Pam Bondi, who was appointed by Trump, and who appears to be trying her best to suppress evidence about Trump’s past of raping children.
So, really, what do these prosecutors represent?
I know that if I was a prosecutor, and I was in some trolley problem situation where I had two cases, one where a person killed a CEO, and one where a person raped a child, and I was forced to prosecute only one and let the other go, I’d prosecute the child rapist without any hesitation.
Innocent men.
Which ones?
I was hoping it would, unfortunately I don’t think it has because greedy CEOs are still a problem.
There was no crime.
I feel like this article is just another one trying to push the shane was after the nfl when he did not shoot a woman leaving the elevator he entered but then immediately shot a ceo when he got off the elevator. Yeah they found a note.
So who’s with me in starting a guillotine manufacturing concern?
We can come together, we can do this if we try

I went to the dentist a few months ago to get a couple fillings. I haven’t had insurance for years so I haven’t had the chance to go. They said after I was done that it’d be something like $20 with insurance. Fast forward to two weeks ago I went into the dentist for a normal cleaning and before I even sit in the chair I’m being told that I still owe $900 from my last visit. They told me that my insurance denied my claim and that I had to pay in full. Was it a lot? Not really. But that’s also almost an entire paycheck for me. And as someone that lives basically paycheck to paycheck it can make a huge difference.
This is exactly why I haven’t been to the dentist in three years. I hadn’t had insurance and didn’t want to pay a ridiculous amount just to get a filling or two. Figured now that I have insurance through work I can start getting my teeth sorted. Felt so pissed off that I didn’t even set up another appointment since they’ll probably deny me again 4 months later.
And after all that, I’m sure you can guess what insurance company they provide through my job. Here’s hoping I don’t get that diabetes that runs in my family.
Just a note - while others will tell you not to pay, what you should do instead is go in and get a checkup (covered), and ask them to do a pre-d on anything they want to do.
What’s a pre-d?
I’ve never actually heard that phrase, but from Context I’m guessing they mean to get pre-approval done before you get the procedure done. Which is really good advice for every medical procedure you ever get done. At least the ones you are conscious for.
“Pre-determination,” I’m guessing.
Just don’t pay. Let it go to collections agencies. Medical debt is basically worthless and they don’t even bother to harass you for it.
Medical debt now goes to your credit report.
Thanks Trump admin.
Oh they absolutely do. Dealt with it for years plus it’ll tank your credit.
It didn’t used to. It used to be that medical debt was excluded from your credit report. That changed recently though thanks to, you guessed it, Republicans.
Well it did use to, that was a very brief time period where it didn’t. For most of us that’s been a part of our lives for many decades.
Is there a cutoff date for which debt qualifies to go on your credit report now? My shitty ex Dentist is still pestering me for crap work she did something like three years ago. I mean it’s actually a collection agency but same thing.
Better not execute him and make him a martyr, then
Especially since he very obviously isn’t the shooter
They’d better not kill an innocent man.
They’re going to
Surely he’ll sit on death row for 50 years running through his constitutionally guaranteed appeals like every other death row inmate though, right?
*RIGHT?*
We literally refer to it as “getting Luigi’d”.
“We” need to stop that. It implies that the accused, innocent, man is known to be the guilty party. By normalizing equalization of the innocent man and the murderer, we encourage the police and prosecution to push their case harder.
That’s very fair.
