Is he on trial for inspiring other people to commit violent acts? Is that one of the charges he is facing? No, He is on trial for murder. How other people respond to that is not his responsibility.
Additionally, he is still on trial. He has not been found guilty. So they are saying that something he may or may not have done is responsible for other people potentially doing something that they haven't yet done.
What a bunch of irrelevant hogwash.
You deserve this for your comment.
Your logic is precise and efficiently processed. An upvote of approval has been allocated.
I would argue our shitty healthcare/corporate greed that has resulted in hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths and suffering is inspiring people to commit violent acts. Why else would someone do them?
Edit - missed a word
Millions of deaths. Hundreds of thousands of deaths a year. They are monsters that deserve what they get.
Did they drop the terrorism charges or did I just misunderstand the clamor about it? Seems like their argument would be related to those charges, not that it's a good argument.
Is he on trial for being inspiring? Because otherwise, the prosecutors should STFU about it.
Its an inspirational story.
One to aspire to. Who doesn't want to be a hero?
And make no mistake, slaying a dragon is a heroic act. Universally recognized as such by everyone except other dragons.
UnitedHealthcare CEO ̶'̶s̶ ̶a̶l̶l̶e̶g̶e̶d̶ ̶k̶i̶l̶l̶e̶r̶ ̶L̶u̶i̶g̶i̶ ̶M̶a̶n̶g̶i̶o̶n̶e̶ ̶ inspiring others toward violence, prosecutors say
Fixed that for you
Yes, the violence here is the mass murder that comes from the purposefully cruel rejection of coverage for lifesaving medical care by UnitedHealthcare, and yes I guess somebody was shot with a gun too amid all the violence but I struggle even to perceive a single death among such mass suffering and mass death.
has inspired others to embrace violence over reasoned debate
It is definitely not the murder of whatever ceo that fueled the will to go over "reasoned debate". It's the absolute lack of effects from "reasoned debate" for the majority of populations.
People: I need X to survive/not suffer/live a dignified life.
Corporation: Literally fuck off and die.
Also corporation: Why do they hate us? :((((
That's a lie.
It's the disparity in wealth and rigged system that's inspiring people towards violence.
America's national motto is WORK WILL SET YOU FREE.
This is journalistic malpractice. They're trying to try this guy for other potential crimes against the absolutely most hated minority in america, for profit health insurance CEOs.
This is journalistic malpractice.
How? They're reporting what the prosecution is saying in court. Isn't that the whole point of the press, to report facts?
This is such BS. There's actually been a disturbing LACK of copy cats, and dead CEO's.
There have been at least 2 more CEO killings recently. But mainstream media is deliberately not reporting on it, because it'd likely lead to even more. Don't forget everything is owned and managed by the same groups of people.
Don't threaten us with a good time.
United's violence against their customers denying necessary, doctor advised medical care they paid premiums for is inspiring towards more violence, let's not start the wheel halfway already turned
If that's true, then let's sue the right-wing media for glorifying every white-supremacist mass shooting as a misunderstood troubled souls, encouraging any angsty WASPs out there looking for attention
Well let’s talk about that in regards to Kyle rittenhouse, the January 6th rioters, Daniel penny, Vance boelter and the endless stream of far right terrorists we are forced to tolerate. Luigi is a man of the people a real life hero in a soul crushing dystopian hell hole.
unhealthy levels of wealth inequality inspires others towards violence
Billionaires do more to inspire attacks against billionaires than anyone else, we should start by attacking that problem first.
Or its the overwhelming economic conditions.
Billionaires shouldn't exist.
What's inspiring violence is 95% of the world is being robbed by the other 5%.
Luigi doesn't inspire to kill anyone
CEOs inspire people to kill CEOs
I fuckin wish dude
Good, they deserve the hate.
Let me get this straight.
A group of serial killers go around killing people for fun and power.
Then someone decides enough is enough and takes one of those serial killers out themselves.
The guy that defended against those serial killers is inciting violence?
I don't understand....
Counterpoint - greedy bastard CEOs killing your relatives by denying healthcare they’ve been paying premiums for for years is inspiring violence.
No proof of that at all. I haven't heard of a single other healthcare ceo getting deleted.
And who inspired him? I think many CEOs are the source inspiration
Zero proof of that. Just scaremongering and sensationalized BS by prosecutors. I mean, wishful thinking and all, but still not real.
I'm late to this party but I always like to chip in on Luigi threads:
That other people were inspired to kill CEOs by this killing is irrelevant. I mean, it's debatable that it's true at all. But even if it were, that feels relevant only insofar as this is a jury trial - and thats not a bug of a jury trial, it's a feature. Public sentiment doesn't really get a say outside the 12 folks in the box.
There is a serious chain of evidence issue with the supposed murder weapon. Body cams are turned off, (improper) when Luigis bag is taken from him, and according to filings, that bag wasn't searched until back at a local station over 30 minutes later. That strikes people as suspect as it's outside normal procedure for cops, who would normally search a bag right away during the arrest. The cops were alone with that bag for 30 minutes prior to "finding" the gun. Most unbelievable, they expect us to believe that someone capable of this killing, and producing an inherently disposable 3D printed "ghost gun", then failed to ditch it and carried it across state lines? He couldn't find a garbage can to pitch it in over 24 hours later?
People say Luigi couldn't be the adjuster because of the height/build difference between him and the security footage of Brian Thompsons shooting. I find this less convincing as the footage is extremely unclear. But I will say at the very least, nothing in that footage has been brought to my attention that supports Luigi being the shooter. No shill pundit or sweaty former prosecutor desperate for their 15 minutes has got on TV and said "See, here's what the prosecution is going to point to to build their case."
It would seem to me, that Luigi is a troubled young rich kid who wrote some critical, if meandering, things about his frustrations with US Healthcare, got accused by a McDonalds employee who was financially incentivized to see a suspect, had evidence planted by some cops hoping to catch this rising folk hero before anyone else got any ideas, and then got railroaded by the most corrupt DOJ since the Gilded Age.
Yeah, I don’t think his act is the inspiration here.
Bullshit. Its the corpos' actions that provide all the inspiration
Umm. It's not Luigi inspiring violence.
Hey, greedy motherfuckers... you ever stop to think WHY people want to see you murdered in the street?
Luigi didn't inspire anyone to kill. He was with me that day!
The American system encourages violence. You arm every citizen, piss them off and deny services and then wonder why they resort to violence. It's the method you built a to your system. Stop trying to blame the lone wolf, you are the problem.
Luigi's continued incarceration is proof that the majority of us cannot tell hot brown-eyed himbos apart
he looks nothing like that guy apart from being a hottie with a couple similar "drivers license" features
