Not a great day for Luigi

[Lennys Tap]

These are also bad, but please, more.

Why waste more time on someone so committed to being dense?

[forgetful]

Right. Most people aren't saying "he deserved to die." I think many are simply not finding him to be a sympathetic victim because he's a symbol for many of the things that people find wrong with the health care industry in our country.

"I would never do such a thing, but I get the anger behind it."

There are movements to support him financially, and to support his case for exoneration. Sadly, there are a lot of people that do think "he deserved to die".

I dunno, you get replies all the time so it seems others have patience.

Maybe he didn't deserve to die, but that isn't the point.  The point is he (and many many others) have enriched themselves upon the misery of the average person.  And now that price has been paid.  Call it mob justice or whatever, but sometimes that is the cost of doing business on the edge of morality.

The only point made by shooting an unarmed complete stranger in the back is that you're a POS murderer. That people are paying attention to the shooter's opinions on the healthcare system or turning him into some sort of heroic figure is even more troubling than the cold blooded murder.

Yes, it's like the many people who rallied to defend (and even praise) murderers Kyle Rittenhouse and George Zimmerman, not to mention the police-bludgeoning Jan. 6 "patriots."

[Not all scoop users are created equal apparently]

Pretty obvious, but since you don't get it here's another one:

Climate change extremist murders CEO of Exxon. Poster on Scoop opines that the victim and the killer both have blood on their hands.

Anti abortion extremist shoots a doctor who performs abortions in the back and kills him. Poster on Scoop opines that victim and the killer have blood on their hands.

Bottom line: some people can always find something negative to say about the victim - remember George Floyd? Why? It's beside the point and meaningless except in the sick mind of the murderer.

Again, I hope you are enjoying Medicare.

If there is an overwhelming reaction as you are saying there is, maybe think about why that may be regardless of whether you agree or not.

I would suggest those aren't mutually exclusive but not going to argue it.

Maybe he didn't deserve to die? MAYBE??? If you honestly believe that a maybe belongs before the "he didn't deserve to die" you're an awful human being. Not one who deserves to die, mind you, but awful nonetheless.

[PGsHeroes32]

Pretty sure blue whales made him do it, they are always on the attack

[forgetful]

Are you sure you are feeling alright? Because that would have just been an argument over semantics, which I believe is your forte.

Might want to schedule a doctors visit, as you don't seem like your normal self.

Maybe he was part of a child sacrificing cult behind close doors. You can't be sure. I'd use the maybe for anyone just to be safe.

Seethe.  Hell has a special place for people who are complicit with profiteering from the deaths of their fellow humans.  What I'm saying is that while I didn't wish for this man's death, I am indifferent about it. 

I just did what I do best. I took your little plan and I turned it on itself. Look what I did to this city with a few drums of gas and a couple of bullets. Hmmm? You know... You know what I've noticed? Nobody panics when things go "according to plan." Even if the plan is horrifying! If, tomorrow, I tell the press that, like, a gang banger will get shot, or a truckload of soldiers will be blown up, nobody panics, because it's all "part of the plan". But when I say that one little old mayor will die, well then everyone loses their minds. Introduce a little anarchy. Upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos. I'm an agent of chaos. Oh, and you know the thing about chaos? It's fair!"

Let's play this game.

When does someone deserve to die?

Does Lugie deserve to die for murder? Sex trafficers? Pol pot? Khan? Hitler? Stalin?

When does one cross into the deserve to die territory in your mind?

[#UnleashSean]

I mean.... he was part of the very awful healthcare insurance. So child sacrifice (and sacrifice in general) is pretty much routine.

[4everwarriors]

No sympathy for this murderer. He created his own problems and deserves the punishment for the rest of his life that he's likely to get.
We have laws in this country that guide us all to live in civility. Luigi didn't respect the process...kolek 'im, aina?

Yep, I agree. Also, I won't be surprised when it happens again.

I of course agree with this. But it would have been nice if you said and felt the same about the likes of Rittenhouse, Zimmerman, etc.

I guess it's occasionally OK to ignore our country's laws if it fits the narrative one prefers.

I'm just glad we're having this discussion instead of after a group of kids gets slaughtered and we say "we just have to live with it"

Without taking the obvious political bait, the people have spoken, hey?

Huh? Tf are you talm bout?

Weren't Rittenhouse & Zimmerman acquitted in a court of law? I don't think this non-sex having lunatic will. Completely different, my boi.

Maybe your judgment is just clouded bc you think he's a ... what's your term?... a "sexpot"?

[The Sultan]

They have spoken, and what a lot of people say is they don't have a problem with the use of violence if it advances their cause. There is a long history in America of that being the case.

I mean, we faught an entire civil war because half the country wanted to continue to enslave other human beings. We have video accounts of a mob of people physically assaulting members of a police force, yet we have a significant portion of our society wanting members of that mob pardoned.

Why would we expect anything different in this case?  We have a violent past. That will continue.

Hope so.  We need a little anarchy in this country

The American people pride themselves in ignorance, so I'm not sure listening to them is the wisest idea.

Put it to a vote, shall we, hey?
