I am a leftist. Hardcore believer in socialist policies. Medicare for all! Etc etc. I know many conservative people who also voted for Trump that I thoroughly disagree with. But for once we all agreed on something. Health insurance providers are corrupt and greedy and that the murder of this CEO was self-inflicted.
Now me personally I'm not going to join the murdering part because I'm not capable of such acts of violence as I feel more like Vash from Trigun. But if my best friend Wolfwood decides he wants to go out and take evil out, I'll tell him why he shouldn't and maybe try to stop him but I'll love him regardless. (Hope I have some original Trigun fans out there. No I haven't seen the reimagining yet.)
WwwhyYouNoLikeMe
Given being a felon is not a disqualifying factor anymore, maybe he should run for public office?
MCFLYYY
He should run for President, after he gets cleared of these bogus charges obviously!
RoseTheSpecialEdTeacher
Wasn't murder. It was self-defense and justice. Social murder is murder and the UHC asshat was commiting it on the daily. Luigi (if he really is the guy) just responded to someone who killed his family and was trying to kill him.
MrLowbob
when rightwing transphobe 9gag and imgur align on their opinion, you know something truly magical happened.

"PEACE AND LOVE! PEACE AND LOVE!" (But also Wolfwoods' cross. Yowza!)

he should run for president; would be the secondist felon to win

I'm not surprised you all united against healthcare CEOs. The USA has the worst healthcare system in the world, because it's actively worse than no healthcare system at all.
OH NO, YOU'RE ILL - WE'D BETTER ALSO EXPLOIT THE LIVING FUCK OUT OF YOU UNTIL YOU'RE DEAD, AND THEN WE'LL PASS THE INSANELY HIGH, TOTAL-BULLSHIT DEBT ONTO YOUR NEXT OF KIN TO FUCK THEM OVER COMPLETELY TOO.
PepperoniAndFingernailPizza
I'm guessing you're lucky enough to have a nationalized healthcare system
captainfakeypants
Yep, although the previous conservative government tried their hardest to dismantle it for profit just like the GOP will do to the ACA
ToSisPoS
Now this is a much better outlet for 2A fetishism.
Healthy? Maybe not, but when has health been a priority in the US anyway?

Self defence. That guy was a mass murderer.

Why did the employer snitch on him?
SneakyGaryTheSerialHorseDrowner
I'm genuinely stunned how many Republicunts I've seen tacitly supporting this, albeit less openly gleeful.
Not that it means much as they're going to go right back to voting for more of the same barbaric healthcare systems, it's just interesting to see them right on the verge of self-awareness.

Fuck the snitch that turned him in.
spazztastic
As someone who knows what its like inside I would have done it if it helped to clear my name, but the system doesn't work like that.
deathsausage
Maybe its because people kept posting his pic....
EverNotRelevant
Not like we could have stopped the news media from showing it
Raikupath
You mean the pic with a completely different jacket that was a different guy? Or the other one that was a different jacket with a different guy? Are these idiots going to realise that this means nothing?
victell
TBH, I'm not sure what decision I'd make for the $50k reward money.
NotSomoneElse68
Use the money to hire more assassins?
OneGoodRib
I wouldn't turn that guy in for it. 50k is really not all that much money anymore, and I wouldn't want that money in exchange for being one of the most hated people in America.
Unless he WANTED me to turn him in.
EverNotRelevant
Are you kidding? 50k is a life changing amount of money for a lot of people. I don't think I would've turned him in, but I can't say I wouldn't be tempted
Cowboy7704
I could pay off a fair amount of medical debt with $50k

He's not even going to get the reward. Only eligible if they called the tip line. The call was made to the local police. Luigi was outed for nothing
ToonamiT0M
If he announces that he's running for president, they can't prosecute him.
MirroredImage
Democrats talked about all the changes we needed to make to the healthcare system, tackle corporate greed, etc.
Trump joked about being able to shoot someone in broad daylight in the middle of NY and nobody caring.
This guy went and did both. *I* might vote for him
fcib
The discourse should be, "they are threatening the American way of life"
The solemn promise that the working people won't be hindered by unfair dealing. That they could grow and prosper under the rule of justice and fairness with just hard work and trust on the Country.
You cannot prosper with them in the middle. They are a THREAT for the America way of life, gobbling up their money and even refusing to pay for a service people already paid up.
vegivamp
You realise that has always been bullshit though, right?
fcib
That's unfair and criminal. It should be a moral duty oppose to it. For the future of the people, because the greatest ASSET FOR A COUNTRY is their PEOPLE.
TemplarHawk
they found him a week after the murder carrying the murder weapon, tons of fake ids and a hand written manifesto, perfectly identifying him as the shooter? come on, thats a setup.
SansAandAnguS
This! I'm not much of a conspiracy theorists, but I gotta say it's mighty convenient that he was id by a member of the public and just so happened to be carrying all this evidence at the time, including a perfect explanation of his motive - well how'd ya be?! Such bollocks!
spazztastic
So his outbursts as he goes to court totally means they have the wrong guy? You are putting a wreckless emotional 20 year old as a hero. No thanks.
Gwimyeon
How old does one have to be to be a hero?
LuLuPennyAndOdium44
Reckless and emotional he may be, but also right and justified
BecauseIHaveWonAnAward
Maybe it’s time to start realising there’s 1 CEO for 1 million people they’re actively hurting. An emotional 20 year old can at least be forgiven for being emotional, young and naive in their ideologies. A CEO is just plain fucking evil and just plain doesn’t care.
spazztastic
They don't forgive you for the emotion you have before a killing. All of imgur is speaking as if they've been in the system or are ready for it, dumb.
BecauseIHaveWonAnAward
We are mate… except the ‘system’ is one that the CEO’s of the world have built and put us in regardless of if we want or deserve it or not. If you create a game that 95% of the population can’t win, why the fuck would that 95% keep playing by the rules of the game?
They fucked it up and maybe people are realising that it doesn’t matter if you end up in prison cause we’re all already in one… this guy at least made us all realise that the enemy isn’t each other - it’s rich fucks like this prick.
Illinifan88
Or he didn't mind getting caught at some point.
Arbitrarynamehere
The part that's confusing me is that prosecutors are alleging that he had $8k in cash, plus a couple grand in foreign currency. So that means he was trying to flee the country, but you certainly can't take a gun with you through customs so...?
Maybe he was planning on holding onto the evidence until he could secure transportation and then dump it right before he left, thinking he could continue evading without leaving an evidence trail behind him? Idk it is a little weird
Gayforbae
That makes no sense. You take the stuff drive to the middle of bumfuck nowhere and drop it in a creek. Ideally several different creeks for the different items.
SwagicalYololord
Or you go out fishing and drop all the evidence in the ocean.
Gayforbae
Thats a little more involved and obvious than a minute stop on a bridge.
Senderoth
Even if he was. Why would it not be in his car, or home? He just carried it in a bag with him to go grab lunch? Like, what?
Gaelwyn
From what I read he was traveling and the bus stopped there for lunch.
Senderoth
Traveling by snail? It was a whole week. He was only a single state over. Thats a few hours trip max. Aint no way he was just roaming bus-lines in Philadelphia for a whole week without dumping the evidence.
Arbitrarynamehere
Probably assumed that if it was found, it would get tied to him regardless, so better to keep it all on his person.
Not the smartest move, but understandable if that's the rationale.
SwagicalYololord
We wasn’t even in the same part of the country by that point. Holy shit a random gun was found in Pennsylvania? No fucking way. Impossible, it had to be the murder weapon of that CEO.
eggmuffin
It's certainly possible. But unlikely. It feels like one hell of a reach.
"Crooked cops planted evidence on a sacrificial lamb" is also possible. And we know that's a thing that happens. A lot.
So that certainly seems the more likely of the two options.

My kids played it when they were about 7.
I'll definitely train them to cover their tracks better & throw away hoodies & rucksacks immediately after they shoot a CEO
Gaelwyn
But not in a public place where it'll be easily recovered.
blaghart
They are so desperate to deflect from the fact that the CEO got capped for killing tens of thousands of people lmao
yoyo42
They are so desperate to turn it back from normal people vs rich corporations into the old right vs left culture war that the rich can still profit from both sides of...

I... don't even want to know mate. But again... its the gamers fault it seems. Gaming just makes violent i guess.
lordnequam
I imagine it's less that the media wants to vilify video games specifically and more that they need this guy to be public enemy number 1, so they're throwing out anything they can in hopes that something sticks.
faethorferenc
So.... who has, "The guy has taken the last milk in the store in front of a granny?"

He didn't even do anything. We were throwing ping pong balls at squirrels that day
Shift137
LIAR! He was playing D&D with me!
BradPittsUglyCuz
Your honor my client COULDN'T have committed the crimes because he was with *checks current tally* 329,875 people in 238,089 different locations at that time.
OutlawGerman
Hey man you fucking forgot dude, he and me thirty other humans were a 1000% partying from 12-3-24 into like noon on 12-4-24 in a superbus in Wyoming and just fucking railing lines of strippers butts. So make sure you tally me and them on in those numbers ya heard?
throwaway12345432
Going to be honest, if he truly is capable of being with all people in all locations at once, I'm not sure that's an alibi anymore.
BradPittsUglyCuz
True but also consider if he's truly capable of being that many places at once does he even NEED an alibi

Nah, screw it. Shout it from the rooftops: He killed the CEO, and we're not going to convict him, because fuck your exploitative abusive system.
Don't like it? Fix it, or there's going to be more.
