      I genuinely don’t know if they’re doing this intentionally, or if they are just completely blind to it at this point, but violence is, and always has been, normalized and used in the dominating political/legal/governing/economic systems. It’s just not treated as such.

      Because what is denying someone’s healthcare insurance claim that they are supposed to get if not violence? Or sending police after someone? Or sentencing someone to death?

      Violence has always been part of the answer. It’s just that that answer is not officially allowed for the common rabble.

    That would be awfully hypocritical, given that Mangione’s crime in the first place was (allegedly) killing a mass murderer.

    They think death, media popularity, and being remembered is going to dissuade others who are facing a lifetime of severe pain because their heath insurance won’t pay for treatment?

    I cannot help but wonder if the USA legal system treats murder differently depending on who died, essentially legalising that some people are more valuable than others.

    All that is going to cause is that if a copycat bring down another CEO is that there’s no reason to go down quietly when caught.
