They almost let my child die. I was able to beg friends for money. They said I had to pay the deductible before they would do the surgery. The insurance ended up charging even more for the surgery. They don't care if we live or die.
But insurance doesn't charge for surgery? The doctor charges for the surgery. So the doctor charged you more for the surgery. The insurance company applied your plan deductible and cost share that is agreed upon in the insurance policy.
They keep saying this poor man lost his life, but the truth is that if he was a poor person instead of a rich CEO , they wouldn't be going through this much effort to cover the story.
rich get coverage on media. the media is the state of the people. they will not report on the healthcare system. they will only report if it makes them money. if it bleeds it leads. to them its just a paycheck. nothing more then numbers on a spread sheet

Beacuse healthcare companies and big pharma bankroll tv networks. Why do you think you see so many ads for persciption drugs? It's not to advertise meds, its to keep the news from running stories about the real criminals.
CNN, quit calling the public reaction "distasteful". It is distasteful that you try to marginalize public sentiment. When was the last time you criticized the legal murders these companies committed?
💯Thank you! I am SO irritated with essentially every news anchor right now (even the ones I otherwise like) for saying that the assassination of the CEO is a "tragedy." It is NOT a tragedy. It truly reveals the difference that separates the privileged television news anchors who no doubt earn way more than the average American.
also so distasteful the way they question his background and his family -- i'm sure any mother would be experiencing some sort of anguish over not hearing from her son for several months, and they have the nerve to question the length of time she waited before filing a missing person report. She was probably in denial and reluctant to give into the thought that her boy was really gone. In another segment someone questioned whether mangione even had back pain or surgery. It's wild that the media keeps throwing around such reckless speculation of total strangers, some who aren't at all involve in this case.
The outrage against the United Healthcare CEO who denies life-saving healthcare is understandable. But where's the outrage for the greedy politicians and lobbyists who have created this for-profit healthcare monster in the first place?!
It is appalling that a 26 year old (allegedly suspect) had to waste his bright career and future to get America to Address the critical issue of the evils of private healthcare.. Very sad..
@@Kibaoftheleaves the sad thing is.. now they claim that the gun was on him when they nabbed him..therefore, it is very unlikely that he will be let out on bail..also, there are chances that a jury may consider the weight of him keeping that gun (planned to take down more CEOs maybe), and the fact that not only does he have his views/opinions, but is not someone who is Waiting on the World Change...He is willing to be the Change.. and this may eliminate all his chances to ever be free again.. :(
Please prepare a news clip on why healthcare executive was not prosecuted for denying coverage that resulted in the death or severe impairment of claimants.
THANK YOU LUIGI! I have had a stomach issues for over a year and told its in my head. I went this week again expecting the same and this time they sent me straight to labs and diagnosed me, im being treated now ❤ thank you Luigi! I strongly believe you made a difference. They allowed me to name multiple issues during one visit instead of making me have separate appointments like before. I also got referrals without asking! THANK YOU LUIGI!
They should be concerned. People are waking up and realizing its not left vs right. Its up vs down. And we outnumber them. The power is with the people.
The power is with the money!!! They proved it again with this election! Looks like Elon spent just enough money to influence the election. The power is with the people that have all the money.😢

"no one innocent gets hurt" The coward approached from behind and assassinated an innocent man. The fact that you don't understand that speaks volumes.

The MSM is not a shadowy entity. It is made up of individual humans in pursuit of one goal through profiteering, just like all of us: live a comfortable life. At least we get hot showers, right? We live like royalty in the US compared to billions of other people. The death of Brian Thompson did nothing to help the unjust healthcare system in the US.
Luigi is a NATIONAL HERO, no matter what the media/authorities portray. There are prisoners from inside the prison jail shouting "Free Luigi" - That is mind blowing revolutionary & speaks volumes!!!
The funny thing is that people like Brian are the sick ones, deluded by a fiendish reverence for excessive amounts of money and power. People like Brian Thompson epitomize the sickness and derangement of our corporate society that values greed over all else, including human lives. The suspect is actually the sane one, who felt pain for both himself and the millions who suffer every year under the oppression of companies like UHC. The suspect saw that nothing will change without some monumental act of courage, and he sacrificed himself for a cause. He is by far the more tethered to reality of the two people involved in this case.
Zimmerman did not open fire on Trayvon in this manner. Ttly different facts. There is an interesting documentary about Zimmerman that explains what all happened. The comparison is not holding up imho
My thoughts and prayers are with his family right now such a painful thing for a family member to have a complete breakdown but to do so in such a public and destructive way is just the worst .
Insurance is supposed to be about helping people in need, not making huge profits and paying CEOs millions of dollars. No CEO needs to earn $10 million. $200,000 is more than enough. The rest of that money should go toward saving lives and helping people who are struggling. It doesn’t matter how much it costs, if someone’s life is on the line, the priority should be to help them and save their life. Insurance companies shouldn’t be sitting on billions while people can’t get the care they need. People pay for insurance to help others in need, trusting they’ll get help when it’s their turn.
Can we please, please stop explaining this with mental illness. We know nothing about his mental state - what we know about him is very little. Mental illness does not equate with violence. Most mentally ill people never engage in violence in their entire lifetimes. Let's consider that maybe, just maybe, whether it was right, wrong, or somewhere in between, that this killing happened for a very obvious reason that did not require mental illness.
You’re missing the POINT that mental illness can drive some people to commit these types of crimes. There are tons of crimes that can be explained by mental illness and this very well could be one of them. Just because the vast majority of people with mental illness don’t commit crimes does not mean the person that did this wasn’t driven to commit this particular crime by mental illness.
@@CaiusMartius-gf8I believe Luigi has mental clarity and health insurance executives like Brian are mentally ill. Relative to the teachings of the great Moralists, that is.
@@CaiusMartius-gf8and you're missing the point this is not the same person. Unbelievable half the people are blind and just believe what ever they're told.
Please Stop referring to the CEO as a Father. He’s a professional person who chose to put his boot on the neck of potentially multiple thousands of Fathers, Mothers, Children. He’s a professional profited greatly. His kids won’t have to worry about healthcare cost. This alleged suspect AP had to have been at the end of his rope to cut ties with his family. He’s of Italian descent, that’s not normal. Thompson and UNH literally drove him to despair. 😔
seriously i'm so sick of people who are parents just getting an automatic pass for their behavior. on the flip side, if i were to suddenly die (maybe from lack of medical treatment due to insurance denial), would I be remembered less favorably than the CEO who was responsible for corporate greed and denial of medical care, simply because I don't have children?? wtf kind of reporting is this? the msm is lost.
@@palavergirl7450 he also was being investigated by Elizarh Warren's commitee 7 months ago cause he sold some stocks that earned him $15 million-- insider trading.

It's crazy how the police and news are tryin this guy and convicting him in front of the world already and expect us to believe he can get a fair trial in any courtroom room in America .
The police and news are horrible about this. They twist evidence and let the masses convict without ever thinking “innocent until proven guilty”. Look at Bryan Kohberger’s case. I’m not saying his innocent, but there are SO many odd things and holes in the story that don’t add up, yet the world has already labeled him as a incel, sociopath and he may get the death penalty. But the timeline makes no sense, false information is all over the internet, and a ton of people are profiting over his defamation. It has come out that if he’s ever found not guilty, “the people” would take his life.
@@juliedepaolo9971 Yes, he wanted it that way as he is making a statement to those who are corrupt. We all know they are, we've experienced it for decades to date.
I’m afraid that the right answer. But maybe one company will send the right signal, and in this environment they may get a lot of the clients formerly with UH
@@juliedepaolo9971 That's what they SAY but people have walked on stronger evidence and for less reason. Look at the all white juries in the south letting lynchers go. Imagine that power used instead for justice.
Becoming angry and fed up after witnessing prolonged and rewarded unjust behavior isn't a sign of mental illness. Yes what he did is illegal but if anyone looks you in the eye and says they don't understand why he did it, that person is lying to both you and themselves. I hope he's tried in New York City because if so he has a very real chance of being acquitted by a jury of his peers. I can't speak to what he would do with his life after that happens, but it would at least be a moment in history that we could point to to show that the middle class has its own version of power that money simply can't buy. It shouldn't have to be fear that motivates the rich to do the right thing, but it also shouldn't be money that motivates them to do the wrong thing. I feel sorry for Brian's family, but at the end of the day this would not have happened to him had he made better decisions that were well within his power to make.
Brian was too brainwashed by money and the corporate system to do the right thing. He lost his way a long time ago. Everyone is focused on what went wrong with the person that did this, but there is no mention of Brian’s sinister motives, in which he makes $18 million per year while poor people suffer at his hands. Their premiums go to paying his salary and making him rich instead of paying for their much needed healthcare. Brian represents the sickness of the American corporate system. That his behavior was tolerated just goes to show how warped our society is. The person behind this is justified in their anger and is far more attached to the reality of suffering than people like Brian ever will be.
@@sportsmediaamerica Apparently not rich enough because they had to sell their house to cover for his mother's health conditions. Being a well-to-do family she had a good insurance policy yet she was denied, denied and denied.

As a long term caretaker for someone with slipped disc and pinched nerve , I can fully appreciate the pain. It can drive you mental. To be have those pins in his lower back at his young age is very debilitating. He's also at that age where once he left graduate school, his private health care is no longer adequate, particularly with United Healthcare abysmal denial in picking up after care. To healthcare executive and their share holders, we are statistics,not human. The grief that comes to the patients and their immediate family is REAL.

Copy/pasting this everywhere I can. JURY NULLIFICATION: presenting a ‘not guilty’ verdict even when the jury believes the defendant is guilty. Typically used when the sentence is too harsh, the law is unjust, or TO SEND A MESSAGE ABOUT A SOCIAL ISSUE GREATER THAN THE CASE!!! It's based on the jurors’ sense of justice and morality, NOT THE PRESENTED EVIDENCE. First rule of jury nullification: DO NOT TALK ABOUT JURY NULLIFICATION! It's one of the justice system’s biggest secrets. No judge, attorney, or official will tell you about it. It is not meant to be spoken about, but still very legal. TALKING ABOUT IT WILL REMOVE YOU FROM THE JURY OR EVEN CAUSE A MISTRIAL. YOU CANNOT TALK ABOUT IT. NOT EVEN IN DELIBERATION. Second: YOU WILL NOT BE PUNISHED FOR GIVING THIS VERDICT!! As a member of the jury, you are protected by the Fifth Amendment (right to remain silent) SO IS THE DEFENDANT per the Fifth’s Double Jeopardy Clause- they cannot be tried twice for the same case. The verdict is final. They are not to be scrutinized or reviewed. Even when nullification is suspected. DO YOUR RESEARCH!! FREE LUIGI!!
I was an international student, and I was required to have health insurance. The university used United Healthcare, and they wouldn't even cover my yearly check-up.
Hospitals should stop overcharging, there dhould be transparency in the charges . So both insurance and healthcare providers need to be investigated. And more transparency about costs . Why charge 86 dollars for 6 dollar saline bag ???
When I had a major surgery and received my final bill I saw 6 charges listed as cart exchanges, so I called the hospital and asked them what those charges were for and they told me that every time I was moved from one gurney or bed to another they charged me 200.00. So $1200 just for that on top of an $82,000 3 day hospital stay. Well, actually 2.5 days because I was discharged at noon the 3rd day. Edited for spelling correction
Luigi, thinking about you and wishing you peace and the very best. You are in for a long ride. Your life has drastically changed. There are millions who hate what you did but nonetheless support you… you are loved more than greed . ❤

Why would these people fuse a young man's spine and not use disc replacements? I was involved in a car accident in 2011. It took me almost 3 years to find someone who could actually perform a disc replacement instead of a fusion. I was told many times that disk replacements were for military personnel only, according to the FDA. And then when I found the person that actually could perform the surgery, the insurance said my surgery was experimental surgery , they couldn’t pay for it. Then they put a lien against my accident case to collect their money because the state of Maryland allow insurances to put a lien against your lawsuit. I did my investigation into the M6 discs used in Germany and the rest of the world. I was told that the FDA had not approved them in America and that M6 discs have been used for over 30 years in other countries. I asked Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance if they would pay if I went to Germany to have the surgery. They told me no, they only pay local doctors. the FDA is very conniving. It doesn't approve anything unless they receive bribes. With M6 discs within 30 days you’re up walking normal with no pain because it’s an imitation of your disc . They continue to fuse, put metal in our bodies so we can suffer in pain and get addicted to painkillers so they can continue making money. America has a whole is very corrupted. Wake up American people!! if Luigi actually did what they say he did, he’s a hero in my eyes. i’m tired of people saying murdering somebody. It’s not the answer… what is the answer? If you don’t have money to hire an attorney what do you do? These people are all behind bulletproof offices and you can’t even speak to them. You write to them and they don’t even answer or they will conkckat some story and make you look stupid Because they have the medical degree and you have no common sense… or if they answer you, they will brush you off.

Guys, this country doesn’t give a rats ass that the leading cause of death for children is death by firearm. What makes you think they give a rats ass about denying claims for live saving treatments. The name of the game is profits at all cost.
f by “children” you mean gangbangers under the age of 22 ( which is a vast majority of the child deaths by firearms statistics) then yes. But if you mean innocent children, then you are dangerously wrong and you have been seriously misled about the actual facts.
It’s a unifying experience as well. We could come together as people for the need for a Medicare for All system. We need to organize and demand change. Health care insurance companies and our elected politicians are all complicit.
I think this a case of corporate greed getting out of hand and it took a young man his conscience and his rage to make people aware of the unfairness and horrible cost of health care.
They can’t run a story that implicates their advertisers. CNN has seen a dramatic drop in advertising revenue over the past 2 years. They can’t afford to lose advertisers like Liberty Mutual. Any story that could potentially alienate their advertisers is never gonna air

Why is it sooooo hard for people to understand his actions.. not even to condone but just understand? They act like he's insane or he had a psychotic break. His was a very logical thought process that seems pretty straight forward.
They almost let my child die. I was able to beg friends for money. They said I had to pay the deductible before they would do the surgery. The insurance ended up charging even more for the surgery. They don't care if we live or die.
I’m so sorry you had to go through that.

also so distasteful the way they question his background and his family -- i'm sure any mother would be experiencing some sort of anguish over not hearing from her son for several months, and they have the nerve to question the length of time she waited before filing a missing person report. She was probably in denial and reluctant to give into the thought that her boy was really gone. In another segment someone questioned whether mangione even had back pain or surgery. It's wild that the media keeps throwing around such reckless speculation of total strangers, some who aren't at all involve in this case.
Not everyone share the same sentiment
Thompson was a serial killer, just like his colleagues. Justice is served for Thompson. Rest still walk free.
The outrage against the United Healthcare CEO who denies life-saving healthcare is understandable. But where's the outrage for the greedy politicians and lobbyists who have created this for-profit healthcare monster in the first place?!
And corporate medias role.
right here! I am outraged!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's coming
Started with obamacare.

Someone illegally killed someone who was legally killing people.
I doubt they can prove that the CEO he killed was involved in denying any claims.
Yesh

It is appalling that a 26 year old (allegedly suspect) had to waste his bright career and future to get America to Address the critical issue of the evils of private healthcare.. Very sad..
Facts. Like this scam has been going on since the beginning of time. He will never have a life again
I think America owes him a second chance.
@@Kibaoftheleaves the sad thing is.. now they claim that the gun was on him when they nabbed him..therefore, it is very unlikely that he will be let out on bail..also, there are chances that a jury may consider the weight of him keeping that gun (planned to take down more CEOs maybe), and the fact that not only does he have his views/opinions, but is not someone who is Waiting on the World Change...He is willing to be the Change.. and this may eliminate all his chances to ever be free again.. :(

The funny thing is that people like Brian are the sick ones, deluded by a fiendish reverence for excessive amounts of money and power. People like Brian Thompson epitomize the sickness and derangement of our corporate society that values greed over all else, including human lives. The suspect is actually the sane one, who felt pain for both himself and the millions who suffer every year under the oppression of companies like UHC. The suspect saw that nothing will change without some monumental act of courage, and he sacrificed himself for a cause. He is by far the more tethered to reality of the two people involved in this case.

Insurance is supposed to be about helping people in need, not making huge profits and paying CEOs millions of dollars. No CEO needs to earn $10 million. $200,000 is more than enough. The rest of that money should go toward saving lives and helping people who are struggling. It doesn’t matter how much it costs, if someone’s life is on the line, the priority should be to help them and save their life. Insurance companies shouldn’t be sitting on billions while people can’t get the care they need. People pay for insurance to help others in need, trusting they’ll get help when it’s their turn.
Just stop. Kamala lost. Quit telling everybody what they should make.
Can we please, please stop explaining this with mental illness. We know nothing about his mental state - what we know about him is very little. Mental illness does not equate with violence. Most mentally ill people never engage in violence in their entire lifetimes. Let's consider that maybe, just maybe, whether it was right, wrong, or somewhere in between, that this killing happened for a very obvious reason that did not require mental illness.
You’re missing the POINT that mental illness can drive some people to commit these types of crimes. There are tons of crimes that can be explained by mental illness and this very well could be one of them. Just because the vast majority of people with mental illness don’t commit crimes does not mean the person that did this wasn’t driven to commit this particular crime by mental illness.

Becoming angry and fed up after witnessing prolonged and rewarded unjust behavior isn't a sign of mental illness. Yes what he did is illegal but if anyone looks you in the eye and says they don't understand why he did it, that person is lying to both you and themselves. I hope he's tried in New York City because if so he has a very real chance of being acquitted by a jury of his peers. I can't speak to what he would do with his life after that happens, but it would at least be a moment in history that we could point to to show that the middle class has its own version of power that money simply can't buy. It shouldn't have to be fear that motivates the rich to do the right thing, but it also shouldn't be money that motivates them to do the wrong thing. I feel sorry for Brian's family, but at the end of the day this would not have happened to him had he made better decisions that were well within his power to make.
Brian was too brainwashed by money and the corporate system to do the right thing. He lost his way a long time ago. Everyone is focused on what went wrong with the person that did this, but there is no mention of Brian’s sinister motives, in which he makes $18 million per year while poor people suffer at his hands. Their premiums go to paying his salary and making him rich instead of paying for their much needed healthcare. Brian represents the sickness of the American corporate system. That his behavior was tolerated just goes to show how warped our society is. The person behind this is justified in their anger and is far more attached to the reality of suffering than people like Brian ever will be.
He's not middle class. His family has plenty of money to pay his medical bills. He's a murderer. Don't pretend otherwise.

JURY NULLIFICATION: presenting a ‘not guilty’ verdict even when the jury believes the defendant is guilty. Typically used when the sentence is too harsh, the law is unjust, or TO SEND A MESSAGE ABOUT A SOCIAL ISSUE GREATER THAN THE CASE!!!
It's based on the jurors’ sense of justice and morality, NOT THE PRESENTED EVIDENCE.
First rule of jury nullification: DO NOT TALK ABOUT JURY NULLIFICATION! It's one of the justice system’s biggest secrets. No judge, attorney, or official will tell you about it. It is not meant to be spoken about, but still very legal. TALKING ABOUT IT WILL REMOVE YOU FROM THE JURY OR EVEN CAUSE A MISTRIAL. YOU CANNOT TALK ABOUT IT. NOT EVEN IN DELIBERATION.
Second: YOU WILL NOT BE PUNISHED FOR GIVING THIS VERDICT!! As a member of the jury, you are protected by the Fifth Amendment (right to remain silent) SO IS THE DEFENDANT per the Fifth’s Double Jeopardy Clause- they cannot be tried twice for the same case. The verdict is final. They are not to be scrutinized or reviewed. Even when nullification is suspected.

Yeah, then no doctors, nurses or hospitals will ever get paid. Do you people hear yourselves?
I was an international student, and I was required to have health insurance. The university used United Healthcare, and they wouldn't even cover my yearly check-up.
Hospitals should stop overcharging, there dhould be transparency in the charges . So both insurance and healthcare providers need to be investigated. And more transparency about costs . Why charge 86 dollars for 6 dollar saline bag ???
When I had a major surgery and received my final bill I saw 6 charges listed as cart exchanges, so I called the hospital and asked them what those charges were for and they told me that every time I was moved from one gurney or bed to another they charged me 200.00. So $1200 just for that on top of an $82,000 3 day hospital stay. Well, actually 2.5 days because I was discharged at noon the 3rd day. Edited for spelling correction

It took me almost 3 years to find someone who could actually perform a disc replacement instead of a fusion. I was told many times that disk replacements were for military personnel only, according to the FDA. And then when I found the person that actually could perform the surgery, the insurance said my surgery was experimental surgery , they couldn’t pay for it. Then they put a lien against my accident case to collect their money because the state of Maryland allow insurances to put a lien against your lawsuit.
I did my investigation into the M6 discs used in Germany and the rest of the world. I was told that the FDA had not approved them in America and that M6 discs have been used for over 30 years in other countries. I asked Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance if they would pay if I went to Germany to have the surgery. They told me no, they only pay local doctors. the FDA is very conniving. It doesn't approve anything unless they receive bribes.
With M6 discs within 30 days you’re up walking normal with no pain because it’s an imitation of your disc . They continue to fuse, put metal in our bodies so we can suffer in pain and get addicted to painkillers so they can continue making money. America has a whole is very corrupted. Wake up American people!! if Luigi actually did what they say he did, he’s a hero in my eyes. i’m tired of people saying murdering somebody. It’s not the answer… what is the answer? If you don’t have money to hire an attorney what do you do? These people are all behind bulletproof offices and you can’t even speak to them. You write to them and they don’t even answer or they will conkckat some story and make you look stupid
Because they have the medical degree and you have no common sense… or if they answer you, they will brush you off. Free Luigi!! ✌🏽✌🏽🇺🇸
The CEO usually knows nothing about health either.
@ what’s the point of having the job if they don’t know? Who discusses the pre-approvals for profit?
Guys, this country doesn’t give a rats ass that the leading cause of death for children is death by firearm. What makes you think they give a rats ass about denying claims for live saving treatments. The name of the game is profits at all cost.
This country only cares about the rich & wealthy. It has been proven to us time & time again. We need to unite in revolution!! ✊️
f by “children” you mean gangbangers under the age of 22 ( which is a vast majority of the child deaths by firearms statistics) then yes. But if you mean innocent children, then you are dangerously wrong and you have been seriously misled about the actual facts.
"This moment is bringing it beyond politics?!" It was always beyond politics!
It’s a unifying experience as well. We could come together as people for the need for a Medicare for All system. We need to organize and demand change. Health care insurance companies and our elected politicians are all complicit.
Luigi killed a SERIAL KILLER (Brian) who let thousands of patients die 😭
What a way to bypass HIPAA laws, by saying that "we don't know the redditer who posted these x-rays."
It's not "some" people sympathizing with Luigi Mangione. It's most poeple.
What I learned in 2024 is anyone can avoid prison and avoid all accountability if they run for President of the United States. 🇺🇸
And their high son too, and brother, and past boss, there friends in high places,
Joe lost.
@@gab4690 oh, I thought that who u meant.
With the pardon and stuff. What Obama do? Are was u talking bill?
it doesn’t seem like anyone else can do the same thing as the great orange one though, without his help
waaaa waaaa no more woke!
I think this a case of corporate greed getting out of hand and it took a young man his conscience and his rage to make people aware of the unfairness and horrible cost of health care.
Start doing news reports on the people denied health care for those that paid health insurance and were still denied!!!
They can’t run a story that implicates their advertisers. CNN has seen a dramatic drop in advertising revenue over the past 2 years. They can’t afford to lose advertisers like Liberty Mutual. Any story that could potentially alienate their advertisers is never gonna air
I have watched tons of murder documentaries. This is the only one I agree with, luigi was right, this had to be done.
People have been protesting for decades about this issue, and they just ignore it. And then now you have these so called professionals, call him unstable, lunatic, or crazy
He sacrificed himself, for the awareness of a massive problem
If you really feel this way you’re part of the problem.
that's how I see it. I'm not American, I'm Irish, If I get sick, I don't get a bill. But he has highlighted the fact that not only do Americans pay a fortune for healthcare, but often, they're still declined!
THIS!
@@SusanaXpeace2u Americans do pay a lot for healthcare but in many other countries where healthcare is “free” the citizens pay much higher taxes to pay for that “free” healthcare. And everyone I’ve talked to about the “free” healthcare in their country has also said that where offered, the private healthcare that’s available is much better. An elderly friend of my MIL is from Canada and she’s been waiting on approval for her triple bypass heart surgery because they’re trying to determine if it’s medically necessary. I suppose the other option is dying…
As usual, media is biased and not listening.
the narrative will be:
About Luigi: he's crazy, he's priviledged, he had no real motive.
About the CEO: Family man, family suffering, he was just doing his job
They will repeat this over and over
Typical lowlifes…
Did you want a different narrative? Maybe one that would fit your agenda?
@@juliedepaolo9971 I'm the one with the agenda? 🤣🤣🤣 Selective attention
Mental illness i think
Are you a bott???@@juliedepaolo9971
Murder suspect? Everyone he did it, he will stand trial. Please report instead on the real criminals, the insurance companies, and a sick health care system.
It's not murder if the victim is unpopular? You are an unserious and silly person.
Brian Thompson is/was the bigeest murderer.
So because people think u did them wrong does that give them the right to gun u down ?
@censorshipisreal3153 The USA has done that around the world for the last 100 years.
@maryjaneshoe-fm4yr Brian Thompson was a popular murderer.
I mean, McDonald's did let a convicted felon host a photo op there. I thought they were fine with criminals.
That was a witch hunt
When i applied for united Healthcare they made big promise, but when i go to doctor there was different story !
The healthy pay into a system thats supposed to cover the sick and in need but it gets pocketed by these greedy corporations at the cost of people's live. So yeah forgive the millions of us for being "distasteful".
The fear in C-suites is a sign of guilt. Has been a long time coming.
No, the fear is not a sign of guilt, it's a rational response to all of these social media crazies.
@@sdrfz If the fear is not a sign of guilt then these C-suites are psychopaths. PSYCHOPATH: (1) reckless disregard for the safety of oneself or others; (2) failure to meet important adult responsibilities, including job- and family-related duties and financial obligations; and (3) lack of meaningful remorse or guilt-to the point of complete indifference
Hating the C-Suites is and has been typical of millions of Americans for obvious reasons.
@@Lexwell_Laversright? I've despised this crowd since I was old enough to understand what it was all about.
@@sdrfz Not really crazy. Overseers of this industry are monsters both metaphorical and literal. What's crazy here is how long this took for bad people to meet bad ends.
Things need to change in corporate capitalistic America. It's inevitable.
I laughed at the guy with the spine! Luigi had a spine and took and evil man out. While I don’t condone murder, is this what it really takes to get us to talk about how messed up this system is??
Talk about the politics and politicians that support the unscrupulous Healthcare system and insurance companies.
they’re focusing on everything except the healthcare system !!! unsurprising
Because the healthcare system is a significant advertisers for them
How many died today the same way and this has been the top story for days.
Trying to normalize murder shows how sick you are
Because its such a crazy story. I'm over it, but many who are frustrated with insurance claims are glued to the story
@davemitchell6281 you tube deleting comments. Democrats hate freedom of speech
Luigi is not guilty! They will never make me believe that he is the one who pulled that trigger.
Let's band together to call out the crooked CEO' s and greed in the healthcare industry. Healthcare is not the only greedy industry. We need accountability on all corporate levels.
People are living in such pain without pain medications now and it is really torturing to have that 24/7.
“When the rich rob the poor, it’s called business. When the poor fight back, it’s called violence.” -Mark Twain
They tried to have him plead guilty,before he even get a lawyer.
Thompson's kids go without father!!! What about Luigi's bright future? Now he is sitting in jail. His actions has brought attention to the greedy ceos and corrupt corporates.
If executives and investors weren’t getting obscenely wealthy from it-indeed, they *are* parasites-then people would have more empathy for this man, and more faith in the system.
I don't endorse the killer's actions, but my empathy for the victim is out of network.
The jokes are getting old. 🤦🏿
@@raineyj560 Who's joking?
@@raineyj560
Yeah, you're someone who knows how to really read a room... 😂
@richardkishita2766 I def am, the jokes are getting corny because they are all over the place and not original. 😂😂
@@DGas-rg1pk Holly dont u see the "out of network" #dense
Play stupid games win stupid prizes.
I stand with the people of the United States!!!!!
I look forward to seeing Luigi found “Not Guilty” in court!
All the medicine that he was taking for his back pain caused a deep depression and mental frustration towards the Healthcare industry for maybe denied some service that he felt should be covered..This is so sad for everyone involved 😢
Luigi‘s actions are truly a blessing to us all even the deceased CEOs family
free luigi!!!!!
Yes, free Luigi ! ! !
This is amazing that CEO is not the murderer????
Why is it sooooo hard for people to understand his actions.. not even to condone but just understand? They act like he's insane or he had a psychotic break. His was a very logical thought process that seems pretty straight forward.
Judging from the other comments on this video, it doesn’t seem like people are having a difficult time understanding his actions
@@susanfletcher3929 you're right. I was commenting on this news clip and obviously was referring to the reporters and news anchors.
