    You talk about and bring up 'racism' more than any other poster here. You address it in almost every single post you make in the D&D.

    Yup what if he killed the CEO of Bad Boy records instead of United Healthcare
    Then he’d be a racist instead a good looking rich frat boy that the fat transgenders love

    If you don't understand how what Rittenhouse and Penny do enables people like Luigi - then you need to take off your blinders. There is a connection.

    Calling people who murder when other actions could have saved lives isn't heroic. And it encourages other people to go outside the system to take justice into their own hands. Rittenhouse is the inspiration for people like Luigi.

    "War is the continuation of policy by other means"

    I am beginning to think that this act by Luigi
    is a similar thing . . .on a micro scale

    at least people feeling that way


    What makes Luigi's killing closer to 9/11 than . . say . . .. . Dylan Roof?
    I NEVER heard anyone refer to the killer of 9 unarmed black people in a FRICKING CHURCH
    as a Terrorist

    It is never said that the KLAN IS A FRICKING TERRORIST Organization

    Terrorist??????? Seriously???

    I tell you what. When you guys stop calling everyone who isn't expressing lefty viewpoints a “white supremacist” or “nazi”, I will stop calling you a racist.

    Luigi's intent is to scare other healthcare CEOs (or maybe just United) into approving more claims out of fear for their life. Thats terrorism.

    The CEO of United Healthcare was a threat to nobody? … Really?

    Also a large group of young Americans don’t give a **** about whether the CEO was committing a crime. The President Elect has committed various unethical and illegal acts and gotten away with it. He has claimed the highest levels of “policing” in the USA are compromised and corrupt. The current President has pardoned his shady son. Two Justices on the SCOTUS have taken millions of dollars of benefits and bribes…. Billionaires, some not even from the USA are deeply involved in setting government policy.

    These people are a bi-product of the erosion of authority figures in this country (oddly enough by other authority figures trying to cover their own corruption) and by the failings of those in power really representing the interests of Americans.

    If things don’t get better soon - this will get worse and these people (who are not Republican or Democrat) will continue to lash out - will vote for radical people who give them hope of their voices being heard.

    So you can eat your spoon fed media about this being a “woke” issue or “liberal hive mind”… just like the left has discussed “gun culture” or claim ownership over these people…. But no one owns these people and whomever best represents them will get them. Liberals learned that lesson in 2024, these people don’t give a **** about LGBTQ when they see financial issues and struggles… Trump and Musk will learn this lesson too if they fail to deliver on issues that matter to these people- which aren’t tax breaks for the wealthy or cultural wars.

    So you can rant and rave about “not hurting anyone”, but it just shows you don’t get it.

    And what was Dylan Roof doing? The Klan?
    The Nazis that parade down the streets

    Luigi’s intent is likely to change the for profit model of medicine in the USA.

    I wouldn’t invite Luigi over for dinner or help him - nor do I think he is some freedom fighter - but - I agree with him that the CEO of United Healthcare is a POS, and the imbalance in the US between business and the welfare of the people needs to be addressed.

    If they are using violence to affect policy change, then it would be terrorism. I dont know their motives.

    Whether he’s a POS or not shouldn’t enter the discussion. It’s a laughable defense for that lunatic. I know you say you aren’t defending him but you kinda are when you say that about the CEO. I hate child abusers. I would go to jail if I killed one and that would be the right decision. At least child abuse is illegal whereas the CEO was operating within the law.

    You argue like a child and most of your posts don’t make any sense.

    It could be argued Luigi killed in defense of others. Thompson was pro-actively killing people by implementing an algorithm which denied them healthcare. I'm not making that argument, but some are.

    thinking radically, like a college campus undergrad trying to fit in and get laid, is a young man’s game.

    most of us figure that out once we are doing adult things.

    You can call me whatever you want. I'm just pointing out that you bring up racism more than any other poster here.

    For all of your complaining about people crying about racism, you complain about racism and call people racists more than anyone.
