follow down the thread

Nick comes around and accepts #Luigi

and to be honest with you, i only accept Luigi as well

i do not cheer Luigi

Nick has a point about that

because there are others who shoot the wrong people:

"California man 'angry with pharmacies' accused of shooting and killing Walgreens employee"

nbcnews.com/news/us-news/calif

we have to be careful here

Luigi chose the right target

but celebration of that can be confused with violence that is not just

nick:

you agreed #healthcare as #profit is wrong, bless you

you appreciated how #plutocracy (not #capitalism) corrupts the legislative process to continue being a rent seeking #parasite- not a #freeMarket

since we agree here, you need to take the final step with us:

where peaceful change to stop suffering and death for profit is blocked

then #luigi is *inevitable*

you don't have to embrace him

but you must accept him

because luigi is the symptom, not the root problem

#ruleOfLaw is corrupted by #plutocracy (i didn't say #capitalism in sensitivity to your beliefs: i am asking you to see a difference between #rentSeeking #parasites and a #freeMarket)

they profit at the expense of our debilitation, bankruptcy, and early death

in such a scenario rule of law itself has been compromised

because *the law* supports mass murder on a grand scale for profit

so i ask you to understand #luigi is inevitable

i am not asking you to embrace him

#plutocracy corrupts our legislative process, preventing #universalHealthcare

i didn't say #capitalism

i won't argue with you on that: capitalism in the idealized view is about free markets

this is about rent seeking #parasites

right?

now please listen:

if normal legal means for change are blocked by #corruption

then *violence becomes inevitable*

so i am not asking you to embrace #luigiMangione

i am asking you to see #luigi as inevitable

there will be many more luigis

"it doesn't give anyone the right to be the judge, jury, and executioner"

you're speaking of the "#healthcare" system that debilitates, bankrupts, and *kills*

for #profit

right?

i am not asking you to support #luigi

i am asking you, simply:

do you think there will never be pushback?

and if pushback through normal, legal means is stymied

by the parasites profiting here

via #corruption

do you think that pushback will just magically disappear?

please think on this:

The question is do they have the real killer? If they don't, and they convict #Luigi, then #WaLuigi is still out there.

If I were #CEO of Aetna, or suchlike, I would want to be damn sure they convict the right person. In the short term, it might look like convicting anyone is a deterrent to copy-cat killings. But that only works until the real killer moves on to his next target.

"Attorney General Pam Bondi said on Tuesday that she would seek the death penalty for Luigi Mangione, who was charged with murdering a UnitedHealthcare executive in Manhattan last year, part of a push to revive the widespread use of capital punishment in federal cases.

In a statement, one of Mr. Mangione’s defense lawyers, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, said that seeking the death penalty in the case amounted to “premeditated, state-sponsored murder” intended to protect the “immoral” health care industry."

I want to see them *prove* it was #Luigi.

I'm #blind, but my kid that served in the #Army says Luigi does *not* look like the man in the #video. I've also seen people #online saying that.

I have a #jury summons for later this week. I've been an alternate in the past.I was also part of a pool that couldn't seat a jury. That time, it was a #criminal case, and the defense attorney said something that I will always remember.

The gis is that when a defendant gets off on a technicality, that is a euphemism for the prosecution not being able to make the case without violating the defendant's #rights.

That's really important. The #Constitution is not a technicality. It is what protects us from #Government overreach.
