    It’s definitely sad and unfortunate that someone had to die, but I heard they were using unethical means to exploit vulnerable people and cause the deaths of many others.

    If the police weren’t going to do anything about the CEO, then sadly, it’s ultimately necessary for a vigilante to step up.

    It’s why you need a fair legal system.

      This.

      But not this.

      If someone (a CEO, a powerful business man, a politician, whatever) is doing something so egregiously wrong then club together to raise awareness, take legal action, shame them in the press, set up you own alternatives. Going straight to murder is not the answer.

      Yet it scares me that so many people think it is 😢😬.

            Because we’ve been fighting this battle the right way for DECADES. Enough is enough. Luigi did nothing wrong.

              What have you tried? What have you personally tried?

              For example, have you got together in your locality and created a shared insurance scheme for you and your neighbours? Basically adopt a version of French / German healthcare insurance on a local level? Have you tried that?

                Stop simping for corporate leeches. If the people have collectively been fighting the system within the legal framework for DECADES yet things continuously get worse, its not the people that’s the problem. The systems rotten to the core and needs to be cut out at the root.

        Pretty sure that everyone over in the US has already tried and failed this. If not, then you’re 100% correct.

          They might have tried it in different ways, and it might be really difficult I don’t deny that. But the alternative of murder seems a little overkill, no?

              I agree the US health care system is pretty fucked up and I feel bad for people in the US. But are you saying that killing is the answer?

                When doing things the right way repeatedly for decades gets you nowhere, you reach a point where you need to stand up to your oppressors.

        No one went “straight to murder”. There have been decades of struggle.

        You’re also describing the “boxes of liberty” thing. “To be used in order: soap box, ballot box, jury box, ammo box”.
