Not a great day for Luigi

[MuggsyB]

Whoops.  Not your average, ordinary, murder or murderer.

I think he is suggesting that there are a lot of people that either outwardly, or inwardly, think that Luigi killing a healthcare exec isn't that bad, so they will find it difficult to convict.

I think there are a surprisingly large number of people that do think that, but that is disgusting. This was a cold blooded murder.

The man can't win. Buys another mansion and then there are all these fcking ghosts in it.

[Not all scoop users are created equal apparently]

I'll be honest, when I heard the sentence "Italian guy who posts about Fleshlights and Tenga eggs is arrested at McDonalds" I assumed it was Willie

All those ground pounds created a preexisting condition in his back

Daisy was a win.

You think Daisy is visiting him in prison? Get fcking real. Daisy is moving onto Waluigi tomorrow.

If you had asked me which Mario character had a 3d printed gun I would have said Waluigi. You think you know someone...

Meh, the guy he killed had just approved using ai to auto deny claims. Could you imagine the pain and suffering you may have to go through because a robot denied your claim for meds?

Murder is wrong, but I'm also surprised this is the first insurance ceo murder. Especially in healthcare, insurance carriers aren't adding value to the system, just introducing pain and suffering.

Really bold statement.

Are assassinations of evil people wrong? Like if you could take out hitler would you? I'm guessing this guy  had a much lower threshold for the evil he considers justified to take out. It's a bit different than a gang shooting or killing over jealousy or Ted bundy etc.

That's a philosophical question routed in the ideas of morality, and the problem is that throughout history, the worst aspect of humanity involve both groups thinking that they are morally justified for their actions.

So if you permit one act of violence because you find it morally Just, then those that disagree with you will believe that they are Just in retaliating.

It is cleaner to say that murder is wrong, and assassinations are wrong, as they are both extrajudicial actions.

But that's just my worthless opinion.

[Skatastrophy]

Really bold statement.

I choose to believe that this is a wonderful pun

[tower912]

Vigilante justice is wrong, murder is wrong.

Muggsy, this guy saw what to him was an ultimately evil person and introduced him to darkness.

He's Albanian...Luigi I mean. I have no idea what willie is.

[The Sultan]

Murder is wrong. Vigilante justice is wrong.

However people are using the victim as a symbol for what they find is bad about the health care industry in this country.  People using others' misfortunes as symbols for things they dislike is hardly new.

Anyway, don't want this to head off into politics so I will stop there.

I think there are a number of healthcare-related folks that would be ahead of this guy in terms of pure evil.

The Sackler family, for example.  They are responsible for literally hundreds of thousands, if not millions of deaths. Purdue Pharma relentlessly pushed for the prescribing of high doses of their opioids knowing full well how addictive they were.

If you want some enraging source material, read Empire of Pain.  Disgusting.

Maybe we put a Top 10 list out there and see what happens

Or if TV is more your medium,  watch Dopesick. A truly disgusting family

You can't just go out and murder people Tower without any repercussions.   There are definitely people that are pure evil  and must be erased but I think that's a separate topic.

You are contradicting yourself.

Thank you for the recommendation.
