Seems bizarre to many of us outside the US that whilst every aspect of his life is being discussed hardly anyone has raised the issue about the ease with which he could buy a gun and a silencer.
As someone else said, he apparently made it with a 3D printer. That can be done in any country by anyone who can afford a 3D printer. His in particular could shoot 9 mm.
Yes, & many 3d printed gun designs don't even require those parts, just stuff you can get at a hardware store. Semi-auto firearms were invented over a century ago. Making them does not require advanced technology, & manufacturing tech is only getting better.
yes the silencer was printed
it was a “PLAboi FTN 3” which requires a carbon fibre wrap.
the barrel slide, and the other commponents werent printed. only the suppressor and handgun Frame was.
Frame was based off of or was a “FMDA 19.2 Chairman 1 Remix”
I don't glorify this, but as someone who's lost a family member due to not getting the medical care needed because of insurance company greed, I can relate to why people aren't upset.
It's disappointing how much more time, money, and effort has been put into finding the killer of a CEO than has ever been out into stopping those same CEOs from killing all of us.
Take a hike, you callous grub. The whataboutism with this assassination in plain sight is sickening. What a shithole the US has become. Don't like your car insurance? Shoot someone and all the nongs in the US will say, oh he deserved it.
First and foremost I would like to thank you for approaching this with tact and decorum. You're doing great. Secondly, on re-read of my comment you might see that I'm not advocating for the murder of anyone, simply acknowledging the hypocrisy that the elites can kill at will.
Now, your next comment (assuming it's not a nonsensical attack against people you disagree with) might well be to point out that vigilante action isn't exactly what the founding fathers had in mind for America and I would say you're right. I'd also argue that they probably didn't intend for anyone -
Or any corporation - to be able to bribe, lobby, regulate, or otherwise position themselves above the same set of laws that apply to you, me, or anyone else. But here we are. In a system so insanely rigged in favor of the wealthy elites that folks like yourself will argue in defense of people who:
Outsource jobs to places where they can avoid fair compensation, human treatment of their employees, regulations, and taxes all while worsening climate change and the economy. They'd burn everything down to the ground if it meant making a dollar: your life included.
Our country was rigged in favor of and by the wealthy from the start. The founding fathers didn’t trust the average person struggling to put food in the belly or working for them, and so they literally ushered in a country for property-owning or tax-paying European-American males to run the show.
Now show me where that car insurance guy has led to the death of 100s of thousands to make a profit. The quiet, respectable has been tried before and they ignore it to make more profit. So what is left?
He was health insurance and had the highest denial of claims. It is not easy to change health insurance. Most get it through work (the cheapestway). If you get it on your own, you can only do so during open season.
Okay so you’re saying it’s okay to have a business that takes money to hold on to it to give it back later so that you can live. And when someone who’s like okay I need money to live and the company just says no. You must be in insurance of some kind.
Cool your jets, bud. We aren't talking car insurance. And we aren't talking comic book heroes. And you have lost your fucking mind if you think that an America without single payer universal health care could somehow possibly NOT be a shithole. (again no props to the shooter)
Your car insurance doesn't tell you that the medicine that KEEPS YOU ALIVE isn't "medically necessary". If you don't understand that, there's no point arguing further.
Feel free to keep enjoying your privilege though bud
What was your take on Kyle Rittenhouse going across state lines with an illegal firearm and murdering residents of the state neighboring his who never illegally possessed and used a firearm illegally?
Oh, fuck off. Insulin, if one don't have insurance or if the ACA goes away, goes up tremendously and destroys them. Folks get dropped and bankrupted all the time for cancer or whatever. Callousness isn't about car insurance - this is about corps who own the govt murdering us for profit and power.
That boot must taste really good, god people like you would’ve defended the Nazis in the 30s and would’ve called the ANC terrorists, political power is derived from the barrel of a gun
They are part of the HRD. High Road Democrats. Basically a bunch of Pollyanna apologist cucks that have led us to this dreadful place and then continue to bitch about how we are here. They all need to fuck off and move aside already.
That's exactly why there won't be a verdict. He'll "commit suicide" or get shanked.
Those in power won't risk jury nullification because it would effectively declare open season on those viewed as obviously criminal but unaccountable at law.
In my day assassins had respect for themselves. There were no beefcake pics of Lee Harvey Oswald. James Earl Ray never released any thirst traps. Who is raising these killers?!?
There's actually a motion picture about a guy that takes matters into his own hands when his son's heart surgery costs are declined by his insurance company. The movie is "John Q" featuring Denzel Washington. A hit in 2002.
"The former prep school valedictorian was caught with a ghost gun that uses 9mm bullets, a silencer, a US passport, four fake IDs with names used during the killer’s stint in New York City and the manifesto, sources said."
A MacDonald's employee turned him in. You'd think he'd lay low for a bit.
I see the over-funded NYPD has taken up writing Tom Clancey novels now to mitigate looking like absolute bunglers. The inventory of what he was "carrying" at the time of his arrest sounds like AI writing crime fiction.
He'll "commit suicide" or get shanked before a verdict is reached.
Those in power won't risk jury nullification (not guilty verdict by a jury who finds the law unjust), even w/a stacked trial; it would effectively declare open season on those seen as criminal but unaccountable at law.
Please come to Canada. We need more Democratic types here as the Trumpism is spreading here too. Lots of social media misinformation targeting white men who are eating it up. Never seen such a privileged bunch of snowflakes who think others getting equality takes away their lot in life.
Do you have a unique skill set or work for a company/industry with offices/facilities here? We are reducing immigration due to an influx of individuals who aren’t adding to our economy. Though we really need healthcare workers & innovators.
I have ZERO sympathy for that greed-driven ceo or his family. The policies HE and his exec committee put in place to ensure that stockholders get money (most of whom ARE members of the exec committee) has ruthlessly KILLED over 68 THOUSAND people, all for their great and mighty deity - MONEY!!!!
We can choose whether or not we eat junk food. Which is vastly different from being denied a life saving medical procedure because your health insurer needs to maximize profits.
And that's why there won't be a verdict. He'll "commit suicide" or get shanked so there's no risk of jury nullification. Those in power won't risk what would be seen as declaring open season on those viewed as clearly criminal but unaccountable at law.
He's not an idiot he wanted to get caught, you think he left that bag full of monopoly money in central park, and kept all the other stuff on him when he went to the mcdonald's for no reason.
People have been heavily impacted by the actions of the insurance industry. Enough so to donate thousands to defending Luigi's actions and his right to fight for Americans.
Health care insurance companies get away with Murder EVERY DAY by denying coverage.. I've even got a denial letter (Though I lucked out and survived) But they tried to kill me.. I wound up costing them even more. (Blue Cross in my case).
If Brian Thompson was an opportunistic power grabbing killer then what does that make Donald Trump? I think Trump is a much bigger immediate danger than Thompson was. Prioritize!
Look whether his ideas are important right or wrong is not the point …how he went about it is absolutely wrong. He needs to be caught. He needs to be stopped. I’m glad they did.
Those in power won't risk jury nullification because that would effectively declare open season on those viewed as heinous criminals yet unaccountable at law.
It might be the only way to stop him from becoming a martyr to some people. If he gets legally executed or if he gets life in prison, people will see it as a sacrifice he made to be a hero.
But if he kills himself in prison, he'll become a weak man who just happened to get lucky with his target
Okay. So he's hot, intelligent and empathetic. But he shot a healthcare CEO.
What society makes a young man think that this was the right and only choice?
Something is so deeply wrong here...
Well when the law/courts fails to protect society I think it's natural for people to seek "justice". If any of these providers had any type of accountability we wouldn't see this.
He probably has a huge following and numerous marriage proposals. He's got that Pisan fierceness his grandpa had. His fans are coming from the right and left, which tells us how when unhinged fanatics get stirred up. Not that what he did was right. We just live in such times.
He had back surgery and was in immense pain for years afterwards. Eventually became reclusive and read up on the Unabomber. There may have been opiates/drugs used to deal with the pain. Still lots of speculation
I also want to know. I mean you just don't wake up one day and say I think I'll commit murder today of an insurance CEO ? Someone that he knew about or something triggered his actions and I want to know all about it. So strange that people are speculating 🤔
If he gets convicted (IF), he's going to be treated as a hero by everyone in jail. I'd guess over 2/3 of them have someone in their lives that have been jerked around by some insurance company. I'm a Canadian with free healthcare, and even I think he's a hero.
Oof! Tucker Carlson... Thats something... I can almost understand the unibomber - both being men of action - Only because he was a smart guy who was also politically motivated. Tucker? I guess not that surprising if I think long enough in it but he's not a man of action. Tucker's a mouthpiece only
every pic has been different. i'm extremely skeptical of the NYPD and the complicit media, whom I must say have the credibility of trump's personal trainer
McDonalds is the one Fast Burger placle where you can actually get a health meal.. Plain burgere no toppings. Dry Salad. Diet/Coffee/Water(Though there are some discssion on the Diet/Coffee) Ray Kroc was a Diabetic, as Am I. so he insisted.
No offense to anyone on here, but I keep looking at this young guy's pic & thinking that I wouldn't mind if he had to be put on house arrest, at where I live. He can rub my feet, keep me company & help clean.
Wow, it seems the police found him faster than it took UHC to sort out my claims for my kid’s treatments. And those treatments occurred every single month - same treatment / same insurance code…
Every month i had to call UHC to tell their left arm to reach around their asshole to get to their right arm to "figure out" what was wrong with my claim that month.
(“figure out” is UHC code for "waiting for you to give up on your claim”)
Rich spoiled white boy who lashed out when things went against him. Not even empathy for a sick relative. If social media is correct, he had back issues and wasn't happy with his care... oh, and he loved Tucker Carlson and thinks women just exist to make babies...
Yeah, I know. Reporting on his supposed social media comments could be suspect. Still, it seems to be a pattern that some people lash out online and, maybe because they get rewarded, lash out IRL later
There’s people on here who are posting an archive of his Twitter account that has this information. I would search for that if curious. That being said, there’s a lot of weird stuff going on with this and I would expect information to change and become more complicated
I've been saying that too!! The shooter had a black jacket on and in the pics the NYPD were sending out Luigi has a green jacket on. I'm positive it's 2 different ppl
Well I would guess by social media reactions to this story, guess he has a 60 % or better chance with a jury. Anybody seen the go fund me for his legal defense??
Yeah. Jumped the shark on the scripted dramedy, tried a thriller trope, and quickly fell apart into … oh, hell, I don’t even know what genre this is. Sexy-but-heartwarming prison-buddy dark comedy? Get those slackers more coffee; cut back on the ketamine. I’m tired.

behold the field where I grow my fucks and observe that it is barren. The world lost nothing.
Also it is $$$$
(Immediately uses a whataboutism.)

Better to kill thousands without seeing their faces, in the name of corporate profits!
Instead, he was a random right-wing programmer.
-NOFX

What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

He must be all brawn and no brains.
No matter what his grievance was, he is a cold-blooded killer.
you haven't ditched the gun?
I think I got it
it's Luigi, with the gun, in the street.
did I win? let's see those cards
Mr Takei, both you and I have seen The Godfather part 1 and part 2 right?
But he’s
A private citizen! Duh

What on Earth are you talking about?
I know how I'd vote on a jury.."Defense of self and others".
FFS what a fucking idiot

Glad to see we can all still come together in 2024.
If you saw a guy who killed a CEO...
NO YOU DIDN'T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now we are heading for the cliffhanger ending before the next season, so things are really ramping up.

Keeping the jury quiet will be the concern; they don't want anything that might be taken as the public refusing to enforce the laws as written.
This is such a great lesson.
What society makes a young man think that this was the right and only choice?
Something is so deeply wrong here...
The world makes sense sometimes
Also that man couldnt ve been the shooter he was having dinner with me at that time
The Tucker part is dodgy though. But all we have is him replying to a video of tucker carlson about architecture and saying he partially agrees.
(“figure out” is UHC code for "waiting for you to give up on your claim”)
Extremely rare, but still.
But I'm also sure Brian Thompson is the real murderer.
And this was defense of self and others.
