It’s interesting that the shooter turned out to be someone that was, by almost any metric, one of the most privileged in society. Rich, white, male, handsome, educated.
If anything he’d be one of the least likely people to face the injustice of the American healthcare system.
I work in finance…higher-ups are fucking terrified right now. Absolutely shook. Here’s the thing: *They are SHOCKED that so many people support this kid, and they are terrified that people see them in the same light as the UHC CEO.*
The general demeanor is one of “I…I can’t believe this, people support this kid..why?! What did that poor CEO do?? How can this be happening. This could happen to *us*.” I’ve heard that almost verbatim.
I don’t think the impact from this is going to be small, it feels like it’s going to reverberate for a loooong time.
I think the reason why everyone is gobbling up the news about the UHC shooting is because it gives us some relief from relentless, depressing Trump crap.
This guy is the only thing I’m going to see on the internet for like a month huh
I pray for copycats. We’re unlikely to see effective gun control laws, but if a shift in outcomes is inevitable, I’d rather see the focus of the disgruntled and mentally ill directed toward CEOs instead of schoolchildren.
Valedictorian at a top private prep school. This guy is probably pretty intelligent.
Dems should take a page out of the republicans strategy; and statr preparing his nomination as president, he smart, good school, meticulous and articulate, plus he knows the suffering of us common folk.
Jury selection question
“have you ever been failed by Healthcare”
His eyebrows do not match the eyebrows in the video of the shooting.
Eyebrows don’t lie.
The big news media outlet censored his manifesto:
To the Feds, I’ll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn’t working with anyone. This was fairly trivial: some elementary social engineering, basic CAD, a lot of patience. The spiral notebook, if present, has some straggling notes and To Do lists that illuminate the gist of it. My tech is pretty locked down because I work in engineering so probably not much info there. I do apologize for any strife of traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming. A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy. United is the [indecipherable] largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart. It has grown and grown, but as our life expectancy? No the reality is, these [indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allwed them to get away with it. Obviously the problem is more complex, but I do not have space, and frankly I do not pretend to be the most qualified person to lay out the full argument. But many have illuminated the corruption and greed (e.g.: Rosenthal, Moore), decades ago and the problems simply remain. It is not an issue of awareness at this point, but clearly power games at play. Evidently I am the first to face it with such brutal honesty.”
The white flower of peace turned darker with fray, more of the other peaceful slowly turning into gray;
Walking into darkness alone to shine light to the many, Luigi walks the path dare not the feeble fainter any;
Ask me not how I know the deeds of a few greedy men who have kept those breathing forlorn, with the few last gulps of air even more so now torn;
Justice to the ones who have been denied the chance to live a healthier life; who could have said just one could put a dent in the franchise;
Oh history, remember, the one called Luigi walked with the white in his heart and that shall remain, for which we are united until the just and fair healthcare we gain.
Should see his manifesto
My friend’s son attends the same private school he went to. She showed me a feature on him in a recent newsletter lol. Apparently one of his nicknames in high school was “pepperoni!”
Canadians need to read this feed who are thinking voting Conservative is a good idea. Public Health Care is a gift. Don’t fuck it up.
He might become a president one day
American hero
Doesn’t he remind you guys of Luigi from Ratatouille?
Reddit can’t decide whether this is the assassin or this guy is being framed .
Not Guilty
Such a good young man shouldn’t have his life ruined by such a little slip in judgement. A slap on the wrists should be all if he even is guilty
He didn’t no nothing
This just makes me feel a profound sadness. When you think about that day was probably like. All the optimism and excitement for the students and their families. Eight years later, and that same kid will spend the rest of his days in prison.
Between greedy CEOs and this pathetic hivemind, I’m not sure I have enough disdain in my heart
But by golly, I’ll try
Same graduating class! Similar chronic back pain. You’re not guilty in my book Luigi!
For a long time (longer than I care to admit) I always thought it was validvictorian.
