Luigi Mangione --- pundits fear Jury Nullification

That's it! That's what the SMU Triple-D stands for:
I deal with the major carriers daily. United is very bad. Congress passed the no surprises act which gave all the negotiating power to the carriers. While our costs skyrocket, the carriers continue to reduce reimbursements. You can’t negotiate with them as you have to be in network to get hospital contracts.
With that said, that kid is a murderer educated by the liberal education system.

It's ok for Liberals to basically applaud the killing with their "nuanced" rhetoric, but to them, Trump said, "Come to the White House on Jan 6th and overthrow the government," when he said nothing of the kind. They use the term "Dog whistle," when they can't actually prove racism in a comment, but their own use of the English language is not to be impeached.
Inequality is inherent in any system. Some will achieve more than others. Some will achieve MUCH more than others.
But, I've told some of my ideologue friends before---you can't let the level of inequality approach French Revolution levels, or you'll get a French Revolution.
How is your scenario possible when the US government is going bankrupt because of payments to the lower class and other wealth distribution schemes? Remember you can tax all the wealth of the top 1% and still have budget deficits.
And I don't think we're there yet, or even that close overall. The masses are well-fed (over-fed), housing is getting bad for low earners but the vast majority have a roof over their heads, employment--easy to get a job, not so easy to make enough to live comfortably--but there are not 10% of the US population roaming from town-to-town looking for work, inflation steals from all.
Despite the rose smelling above, in the specific segment of health insurance, we're right at the edge of the cliff.
If Luigi has killed the CEO of Ford, Home Depot, or McDonalds, he would not have received much support at all. I think the intense rage is health insurance specific--for now.... Can't let things get too disparate.
Sickening, and as already posted, private security going to boom.
Murder is murder - there were other ways to get the point across without killing a person.
Is Luigi against fascism? Because that is what our healthcare industry is: corporate fascism as allowed under Obamacare. Luigi murdered the wrong person.

So you're against inequality.
Grievances against inequality spurred the Bolshevik revolution.
Either it is okay for people to be different or it isn't. Trying to control the amount just means you are against it.

Well. US healthcare took on fascist characteristics more than 100 years ago. Obamacare was merely step 172 in that direction.
Read my post again.
As I said, inequality is inherent in any system. Some will achieve more, some will achieve less. You just can't let inequality approach the levels of the French Revolution, or you'll get a French Revolution.
If your average person is nearing starvation level food supply, your society is on the verge of revolution. It won't last. Ideologues often live in fantasyland.

I was focusing on this part. But the French Revolution was caused by much more than economic inequality. And how would you propose to reduce inequality? When most people say that they mean for the government to take more control over the economy. That is what I am against because it is simply an excuse for the government to engage in more tyranny.
Speaking of fantasyland, your reasoning ignores the fact that the impoverished are more likely to be overweight than the well off.
America...where even our impoverished are obese
If you actually read my posts on this thread, you would have known that...
I think you are responding to the fevered dreams of rich white liberals who think they speak for the downtrodden - similar to the Latinx terminology they adopted to woo Hispanics. People want jobs and opportunities for a better life. Besides I thought Obamacare solved everything. If anyone should be blamed it should be the Dems.

Yes, but that understanding requires common sense. And common sense has been declining in the US education system to the detriment of society for many years now.
In fact, that's what the Deep State wants, sheeple they can control.
This article suggests Luigi went crazy as the best possible explanation for his actions:
