Why are you upset that a man who knowingly oversaw the bankrupting of his customers and let thousands of them die by denying them life saving treatments is dead? We’re crying over thieving serial killers now?
I agree with you, excerpt you used a wrong tense. America HAD courts of law. That was before SCOTUS was hijacked by the gop and granted immunity to trump.
I shouldn’t have to explain this to you but innocent people are regularly slaughtered in their schools, churches, movie theaters, on the street—everywhere—and the American people and politicians they elect don’t give AF enough to do anything about it. Anarchy reigns every damn day in this country.
Good point. The courts aren't enforcing our laws. Monopoly? Collusion? Breach of contract? Nobody holds the wealthy responsible for social murder. But Luigi got justice....
If you haven't been paying attention, anarchy is reigning for a while. Cops are shooting and killing citizens at will, terrorists are exploding bombs, ex presidents are selling state secrets and inciting mobs to attack Congress, whistleblowers are being killed to silence. Not enof space to list all.
I was opposed to him the day after it happened, but the more I watch how the corporate and political world reacted, the more he seems to have done the right thing.
I'm not super convinced the DP is likely. A look at the history of that penalty shows its almost exclusively a result of public defenders being overworked or mass murderers. My suspicion is the federal prosecutors dangled that one to try and force a plea bargain for a lesser outcome.
He was, wasn't he? You know, because a federal terrorism charge can get someone the death penalty and people who shoot CEOs should be put to death but not school shooters....
Nah he was charged federally and either the Fed or the state is also going for terrorism charges. Which is insane considering how we treat/charge mass shooters.
Even if you believe the CEO deserved to die, pardoning a guy who decided to assassinate him on a whim is insane.
"You're allowed to murder as long as the target is unpopular" is a really bad place to be.
far more tasteful to formally deny people the healthcare they have already paid exorbitant amounts for. if you let them know via a letter you can just let them die an avoidable death.
he was a millionaire purely from money people had paid to protect the health of their families. and he got richer from finding ways to deny even that.
that’s disgusting. and he would never ever have been held accountable for it.
Totally agree healthcare CEOs that put profit over people should not be glorified. Don't get me started on victims of Tesla's self driving cars, Young girls and boys committing suicide because of Instagram etc.
If one coroner would rule that delayed treatment of metastatic breast cancer was the cause of death and rule it a homicide, I would agree with you. Mr Mangione brought to light that the country medical insurance industry is fraudulent. No paid politician has helped.
The New York Times loves to platform (to boost) despicable right-wingers, Musk in November 2023 and Bezos in December 2024.

US democracy v. Nazi dictatorship, NYT editor won't pick a side. No free press (no NYT) v. free press (NYT exists) he'd probably wouldn't defend the free press either. https://leisureguy.ca/2024/05/08/nytimes-democracy/
Biden never had Parkinson's (this message is for the guy at NYT whose last name is about using flour, that super sycophant for Republicans believed every word from Barr, Judge Walton didn't).

They're trying to find a way to charge him Federally.
