Really happy people are going outside and doing stuff.

It should say “Change”.

We need wanted posters for every ceo, politician, person in power who’s done illegal things and screwed over this country.

Necessity Defense

The necessity defense justifies illegal acts taken to prevent greater harm when no viable alternatives exist (United States v. Bailey, 444 U.S. 394 [1980]). Despite theoretical options like lawsuits or lobbying, these have historically failed to provide timely redress for systemic abuses in healthcare. Only after Luigi’s actions did insurers reverse unethical policies, such as denying anesthesia to children. This demonstrates that his actions prevented greater harm, as the harm he sought to avert outweighed the harm caused.

Fourteenth Amendment – Due Process and Equal Protection

Under the Fourteenth Amendment, no state may deprive individuals of life, liberty, or property without due process or deny equal protection (Yick Wo v. Hopkins, 118 U.S. 356 [1886]). Health insurers, empowered by government inaction, deny life-saving treatments for profit, effectively violating citizens’ rights to life and equal protection. The government’s failure to act leaves citizens like Luigi without recourse, forcing desperate measures to protect lives.

Second Amendment – Safeguard Against Oppression

The Second Amendment protects the right to bear arms as a defense against tyranny and systemic oppression (District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 [2008]). While not a justification for extrajudicial actions, the amendment underscores the principle that citizens may resist when government and corporate systems violate their lives, liberties, and dignity.

Mitigation and Public Good

Courts recognize moral justification and societal benefit when determining culpability (People v. Serravo, 823 P.2d 128 [Colo. 1992]). Luigi’s actions directly led to insurers reversing harmful policies, demonstrating a broader public good. The law allows for leniency when illegal actions bring about significant social benefits (United States v. Bergman, 416 F. Supp. 496 [S.D.N.Y. 1976]).

Ninth Amendment – Unenumerated Rights

The Ninth Amendment protects rights not explicitly listed in the Constitution, such as access to basic healthcare. The argument follows Griswold v. Connecticut, 381 U.S. 479 (1965), where unenumerated rights essential to liberty were upheld. Luigi’s actions sought to address systemic violations of these implicit rights caused by profit-driven denials of care.

The case of Luigi isn’t about excusing murder but confronting the systemic corruption that drives people to desperation. When government institutions fail to protect the public and instead empower corporate greed to bankrupt, harm, and kill countless Americans, the larger systemic failures cannot be ignored. These defenses aren’t about justifying violence but exposing the harsh truth of a nation where justice often serves profits over people, leaving citizens without meaningful recourse.

This mirrors the teachings of Martin Luther King Jr., who argued that unjust laws and systems must be opposed when peaceful avenues fail. As he wrote in his Letter from Birmingham Jail, “an unjust law is no law at all,” underscoring the moral obligation to resist systemic oppression. King himself was arrested multiple times during the civil rights movement, often for acts of civil disobedience, such as leading a march without a permit in Birmingham in 1963, where he authored his famous letter. Additionally, the FBI, under J. Edgar Hoover, falsely labeled him a communist and a national security threat, targeting him to suppress his activism. 

Martin Luther King Jr., once labeled a “terrorist” and “communist” by the government to suppress his activism, was later honored and celebrated as a hero for his work and sacrifice. This shift reveals how such labels are often the tools of a corrupt system desperate to preserve itself, silencing those who challenge its injustices until history vindicates their cause.

Ive been waiting for someone to turn his likeness into an obama hope poster

Big stickers. So cool

People who do things like this are vile.

Wow thanks for awesome change, thanks for solving the healthcare crisis!!!

I hate this mob justice mentality. Praising a murderer is disgusting.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you’ll reply that this CEO killed millions by denying coverage. Even if he was directly responsible for setting the company policies, which no-one seems to even know for sure, that still doesn’t make it right.

Edit: Downvote me all you want you bloodthirsty maggots.
