It’s weird seeing MSM trying their hardest to dig up his past to see what caused him to do this like there was some specific cause so people can feel better that it was an anomaly.

When the truth is he’s a lot closer to the common American than they want to believe. Every other period in history with the wealth disparity and corporate/rich greed that we see has ended very very badly for the rich.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this is a beginning moment pointed to in history books in the future.

Hope it isn’t a Columbine type situation.

There are millions of Americans who support what he did. Which seems really odd to say about a murderer, but here we are.

Between all of the online support and even things like the McDonald’s boycott because their employee turned him in… It’ll be interesting to see if they are just providing moral support or if they will take action.

Lots of Americans supported Jesse James, Billy The Kid, Dillinger, Bonnie & Clyde. Capone, Because they felt screwed over by railroads, cattle barons, bankers, politicians, etc. People are weird.

He's a prep school and Ivy League educated frat boy from one of Maryland's wealthiest families. If everyday Americans were looking for the ideal standard bearer in their battle against the wealth gap and corporate greed, he'd be about number 34,372,560th on the consideration list.

But one thing is for certain...this is definitely going to end very very badly for a rich person.

Yep, wouldn’t surprise me at all. Even in day to day conversations around the water cooler not many people express sympathy for the CEO.

I bet you could not find 1000 people to state publicly that they are glad this murder happened.
 
Not sure a better example of the uniqueness and perhaps the watershed moment of the start of something bigger is found in what has happened with UHC:

  1. Nobody was talking about them
  2. CEO murdered in cold blood in public sidewalk in NYC
  3. Within 24 hours THEY are having to do PR on their conduct as a company
  4. Less than two weeks later their worth is down 41 billion dollars due to stock price plummeting

I know this behind the scenes has to be freaking corporations out, especially those in the insurance industry and especially the more ruthless ones.

Mangione committed 1st degree, premeditated murder, obviously. But I am sure you have all seen on social media or in face to face discussions where people are arguing that the act was understandable.
