Might need to update the hair cut on this:
The cops must be so upset by how he looks so much better than them even on a bad day.

I still maintain this young man is a patsy, and while the idolization can be rhetorically comforting it’s important to not assume he actually did it.
It's uncanny how much he does not look like the original photo of the shooter that was circulated
Protip for next time: if you need a fall guy, don't make it someone this photogenic.
IMHO: While yes the dead CEO killed a lot of people, in a functional society Luigi wouldn't be celebrated because the sick cunt of a CEO of United would have never been in a position to kill other people. And Luigi's assassination would have never happened and would not be celebrated. Just the symptoms of a fundamentally broken system showing and everyone is ignoring the cause. The EU shows how healthcare should be, but the idiots in Maga-land would scream "communism" and work against their own interests. And the result is that Americans are forced to live in a corporate infested shithole. No one's talking about that aspect, because this would be very bad for the very few people who are profiting massively off of the misery of the American people.
I'm not sure what conversation you think is happening but it has been my experience that everyone is talking about the thing you're saying no one is talking about.
The EU shows how healthcare should be
It can be even better than that
Not saying it's perfect, but it's better than the USA.
Well, anything is better than nothing of course
Uh EU healthcare is pretty decent, thanks for asking.
It seems a little obtuse to conflate all of the EU countries' healthcare systems into one, given that they are different and that the EU itself doesn't legislate in that field.
The EU is a wide net with a lot of different healthcare systems that vary by nation.
Though pretty much all are better than the US.
I agree with you, but I think what you’re saying in the beginning is the baseline belief for most people.
And on your second point, even MAGA fucks hate the 1%; they’re just brainwashed to think that their party of choice isn’t in bed with them.
You're being massively downvoted, not because you are wrong about the cause, but because you are wrong about nobody talking about it. People have been talking non-stop about it ever since Congress voted down Hillarycare in the 90s, and the health insurance companies went psycho.
What people aren't talking about is how this is simply a predictable movement of the Free Market. The CEO had implemented policies that increased financial and medical hardship and suffering, to the point that the market made a spontaneous correction by spawning a customer disgruntled enough to take action.
As a result of that Free Market action, studies have shown that the CEO's company, as well as other health insurance companies, loosened up their policies, at least for a while. Certainly, every health care CEO will think about this Free Market correction the next time they consider implementing some pyscopathic policy.
This is exactly how the Free Market is supposed to work when it is allowed to operate unfettered by regulations, like PedoCons are always demanding. Or we could implement reasonable, common sense regulations that will keep the Psychopathic Oligarchs from going to far with their experiments.
Nobody is talking about THAT.

The free market correcting itself quip right here is just moahh<3
He looks less handsome from this angle
Dude been living in jail for a year, he's doing what he can.
I still stand by my original statement, but hot damn I hadn't considered that when making it.
What a chief.
Looks like a murderer from all sides
Edit: I'm no longer responding to comments here as it's overwhelmingly been bad faith arguments, and I'm just not into that.
Are you trying to say he has killer looks from any angle?
I'm trying to say you are celebrating a psychopath
"An abnormal reaction to an abnormal situation is normal behavior." Viktor Frankl
Killing people on the street is not normal behaviour in any situation, and even suggesting that is sick.
I agree, Brian Thompson should never have been allowed to murder so many people with his psychopathic level of greed.
I don't like you twisting my words to support your personal narrative.
in any situation
Really? So if an invading army rolls down the street, everyone should just try to have a chat?
It is not psychopathic to use deadly force in defense of yourself or others. The psychopath was the CEO denying healthcare for profit.
So did anyones live get saved by his action? Was anyone immediately in danger? Or was ist just retaliation to satisfy his personal feelings of unjustice? He did not fix the broken system, and nobody doing this will. Everyone deserves a just process, because that is what makes a stable society.
So did anyones live get saved by his action?
Yes actually. Insurance companies across the board suddenly started approving claims at a noticeably higher rate immediately after. A large enough increase that it was immediately felt by consumers and the media even covered the change. Thousands of lives were demonstrably improved by not having to deal with bullshit fights over claims being systematically denied by default like they had been.
Within 3 days of the incident, and the groundswell of people not buying the media's attempt to make people feel sorry for the piece of shit CEO who made money off the suffering of his countrymen, reversed a new policy where they were going to only cover part of the cost of anesthetic if the procedure "took too long". A policy that would increase mistakes made during surgery or babysitting more people for no reason other than greed.
So yes. It helped millions. Pretty much Immediately. Is everything fixed? No. Was intentional harm reduced? Slightly.
İnnocent until proven guilty - unless you are a totalitarian ball-gaggler, then of course you prejudge people...
That's what the police planting a gun and manifesto, extra cash and a passport in his bag he'd packed for a trip to McDonald's a week after the incident...was meant to make you think.
