As a British lad, I’ve been keeping tabs on the news about this guy and the wide support he’s getting.

With so much support, surely the public will get him out of jail just to spite the bastard rich kids and their CEO baron fathers?

The Man who was shot allowed a massive corporation to dangle its strings over people’s lives, medication being pulled away which is horrifying to me who uses the NHS as my primary medical service for hearing.

What do you think? Will Luigi “The CEO Reaper” Mangione ever get out of prison?

    It does seem they’ll try to use his case as a deterrent to anyone thinking about following in his footsteps. I think they will be harsh and he’ll be made into a martyr. The religious imagery of Saint Luigi may be apt and more than just a meme.

      Historically speaking, yes. He will be convicted and executed as a message. The message to the rich is that the justice system they’ve we’ve bought and paid for has their back. To the rest of us it’s a message about the cost of going after the wealthy. Thing is, the more they fuck the rest of us over, the more it’s a cost worth paying. But they are trying to keep us in line.
