Why on earth are we hearing more expressions of empathy for Luigi Mangione, alleged assassin of United Healthcare CEO, Brian Thompson, than for his young children left Fatherless?
The latest news uncovered about Mr. Mangione is that he was not a subscriber to United Healthcare, so he hadn't suffered any personal grievance from the company. What United Healthcare probably represented to the killer is unbridled hatred of giant corporations instilled by Ivy league academics to the vacant minds of privileged students. Who can forget the ridiculous protests of the Occupy Wall Street movement of these same students with their expensive laptops and camera equipment holding the financial district hostage for weeks while crying oppression.
It is appalling to read the statements of celebrities mouthing their opinions that perhaps the murder was justified given the sins committed by the industry.
Sorry, but murder is never justified especially when committed against a person who may not personally be responsible for those sins.
According to the NY Post, police report that the manifesto found in Mangione's belongings mentioned director Michael Moore as someone who has, "illuminated the corruption and greed" of the healthcare industry.
When asked by the media to comment on the murder, Mr. Moore wrote : "It is about the mass death and misery — the physical pain, the mental abuse, the medical debt, the bankruptcies in the face of denied claims and denied care and bottomless deductibles on top of ballooning premiums — that this 'health care' industry has levied against the American people for decades," he added, before claiming that the government has enabled the healthcare industry to "murder."
Moore wasn't the only one expressing their disdain for the healthcare industry. Even comedian Bill Burr weighed in with what he thought was an amusing comment on his podcast: ""What is more heartless than a f****** CEO of a corporation? In health care, the decisions that they make...This is the thing —I'm not saying what happened should have happened, but...for them to be like...'Why would anybody want to do this?'" Now Wanted posters are being put up around the city with photos of various corporate CEOs. ABC News reported: Viral posts online have listed the names and salaries of several health insurance executives, multiple "Wanted" signs featuring corporate executives have been posted throughout Manhattan and users on social media continue to celebrate Thompson's death, according to the bulletin. understands the reaction and called it "a warning to everyone in the healthcare system."
Fox News reported that Senator Elizabeth Warren, D-MA, said to Joy Reid on MSNBC: "it was wrong but also served as a 'warning' of sorts that 'you can only push people so far. We'll say it over and over. Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth[care], but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands.'"
The NY Post reports: "The founder of a "socialist apparel" brand who has called online for the death of corporate executives is planning to sell a deck of cards of "most wanted CEOs" — complete with names and faces and decorated with illustrations of gun range targets."
SNL also used the murder and search for the killer as a routine comedy bit. Host Colin Jost said, "It really says something about America that a guy was murdered in cold blood and the two main reactions were 'Yeah, well healthcare stinks' and also 'Girl, that shooter hot,'"
Indeed. What does this madness say about America?
In November, 77,269,255 Americans voted to return the country to sanity but while the Democrat Party lost, evil is still waging battle with us. In 2018, I wrote a column enumerating the number of events that personified gross evil. The same can be said about the CEO murder that the blind deem as 'understandable.'
Many of these commenters preface their remarks by saying they don't approve of murder but… There should be no but about this event. It was wrong. It was pure evil and should be condemned outright. Instead what these empathetic screeds will probably do is incite other brainwashed lemmings to seek immortal infamy by copying the CEO murder.
Let us not be fooled again. It took prayers by all to win in November and it will take the same plea to the Almighty to protect our nation in the future,
GO MAGA!
