US Healthcare CEO Murdered - Please read mod note at OP

Musk didn't found Tesla, nor can that be used to counter-argue the fact that his behaviour largely has been, and continues to be, to the detriment of society.

Looks like the Trial for Mangione is coming up this week and the prosecutors are rightly terrified of Jury selection as they are probably going to be asking members of the general public if they or anyone they know have ever had a bad experience with private healthcare that could bias them in this case….. they also only have a limited amount of juror challenges on selection, from a quick google it looks like its 3 in NYC.

I think there's a high chance despite the evidence against him Mangione could easily go free, and personally I hope he does as I don't think there could be any better a wake up call for those in charge of the broken US healthcare system.

Yep pretending that Musk isn't a literal danger to democracy at this point is pretty naive.

that could severely limit any jury pool in the USA !

Not surprised when you think about it, a random person shoots a CEO of a Healthcare Insurer that has a notorious reputation for screwing people over and making every excuse to get out of their liabilities and they launch a massive manhunt, parade him around with a massive amount of officers in tow thinking this will intimidate other would be assassins to Luigi other kinds of CEOs and then are surprised when they find out nearly everyone agrees with the shooter and struggle to get unbiased jurors simply because healthcare has been allowed to inflate into a massive Ponzi scheme in the US with absurd health care costs for easily treatable conditions in nearly every other jurisdiction outside the US.

They might less biased the case if they hadn't made such a spectacle of it but in trying to show "tough justice" on a shooter they ended up exposing the hypocrisy that rich con artist who are a victim of crime get a massive man hunt for the perpetrator while any normal person will get maybe a low key investigation and possibly forgotten about because they're not wealthy. Hell they threw terrorism charges in for good measure even though that would not stick as at most the charge of Murder would be enough. By going overkill they further expose the absurdity of their response and the justice system is being used as a tool to seek vengeance and stamp down on people rather than justice.

Reports say he suffered from Lyme Disease and a back injury and if it turned out his health insurance refuse to pay out on treatment and left him to suffer then it makes for a compelling sympathetic argument of just why he would go so far as to shoot a CEO in the first place and thus why it would resonate with so many people, while murder is something that cannot be condoned neither should a system be allowed that rewards profits to a handful of people at the expense of others suffers and escapes their liabilities through legal excuses.
