Luigi Mangione

Wasnt really a Luigi style shooting from what little Wikipedia has to offer so far. Dude just killed a bunch of random people and then offed himself. Literally just a mass shooting.

He killed:

• Didarul Islam, a 36-year-old off-duty police officer (ACAB)
• Blackstone executive Wesley LePatner (...)
• Julia Hyman, a recent college graduate working for Rudin (questionable)
• Aland Etienne, a 46-year-old security guard (probably not a cop considering it wasnt specified like with the other one)

Definitely not a targeted assassination. Still better than doing it in a school or club tho.

I have a feeling he didn't mean to kill the blackstone ceo, just a stroke of good luck

This is HORRIBLE! DOESNT he know that if you Want to Commit a MASS SHOOTING in the United States you MUST Target a SCHOOL and NOT places where Rich People wor"KKK"?

I was in NY 2 blocks away when this happened. This dude has no redeeming qualities and would have happily shot you for looking at him funny.

He wanted to kill people from the NFL but did no reconnaissance and ended up murdering 4 completely unrelated people.

His manifesto is also just complete madness.

Edit to add: If anything this is another reason why there should be more publicly available resources for combating mental health issues and tighter gun control. But we all know there will only be thoughts and prayers and no real change coming any time soon.

When are cops and ceos gonna stop celebrating the killing of the working class?…. Just playing devils advocate here.

The CEO killed people every week, just not with a firearm.

This headline can easily be part of an intended effort to associate the luigie situation with any shooting of a CEO or business leader. Reasons matter. Protecting luigie means enforcing strict conceptual differentiating between him and other acts of violence. We know there's a difference, we need to enforce that difference in every space the topic comes up. As soon as Luigie is successfully lumped in with random acts of violence, he loses the public sentiment that is his best protection.

I neither praise nor blame him. I blame the NFL for not taking good care of him though. No-one deserved to die over that. Fuck capitalism.

bro stopped a mass murderer

~~He shot a Blackstone CEO, yet when I search for him the media reports on his football career as a potential reason?~~

~~What the hell? America is not in a position where the assassination of CEOs needs to be explained. The question is how some of them can still show their faces in public.~~

Edit: See comments below. I'm dumb and/or jumping to conclusions too quickly.

I would only be impressed if somebody actually did something about the conditions that created the CEO in the first place.

Bullets are famously ineffective against these conditions.

You can shoot a capitalist, but you can't shoot capitalism.

Do we have to, though?

how bout we don't not stop

Until we know more we shouldn't.

We shouldn't glorify a person. We should glorify a deed. His intention most likely wasn't to shoot the bourgeoise, but just to shoot people. He just happened to get her.

But out of 4 victims we know one was a CEO and one was a cop. So only the other two may be innocents.
