A hero? For what? He didn't do anything.
They should let that innocent man go free though.
The superhero pilled brain of America will be the death of us.
There are no heros. There are people who are willing to take extreme measures because of their situations. He's not taking requests. He's not planning additional actions. He's not coming to save you. We have to do that ourselves. Kill your heros and join a movement that actually does something. Stop waiting for some vigilante that will never come.
But he did come… And he shot a legitimately evil person.
Who will just be replaced with another. I mean, we're all here talking about it, but ultimately, nothing will change.
Edit to add, nothing will change without pushback from the people. Original comment was very defeatist, and change can happen, but not by sitting here with our thumbs up our asses. At least we're talking about it, I guess.
Oh something will change all right. Premiums will go up to cover profit losses and security teams and the surveillance state will be increased.
So... class war won?
Become Ungovernable
Good luck paying a medical bill by being ungovernable.
So we're just trusting the police that they got the right guy and aren't framing some poor schmuck, now? I mean, saying 'The Adjuster' is a hero is one thing, but I'm not yet willing to concede the point that he and 'Luigi Mangione' are one and the same.
I am pretty sure that Luigi Mangione was my sales rep at the Apple Store in Orlando, Florida on the day of the shooting.
Can't be, I had him over for breakfast that morning.
That's cool. But Luigi and I saw a movie that evening. The new one.
I remember cause we went out for drinks right after the movie, Luigi was always in sight
Ah yes, I remember that movie it was good. Yes I believe after drinks we were playing the new hit game Marvel Rivals! Does he know his way around a gun? Only when he's playing Black Widow!
Same except Missouri.
I mean if they did that and the real killer killed another CEO it would look very bad.
You mean a copycat?
Better make 3D printers illegal. It's the only way to be safe.
You expect me to believe that his name is Luigi’s Mansion?
If it was, Nintendo would be trying to kill him.
It's one thing for this to happen, shrug, and not give a shit. It's another to glorify this guy.
It happened. I'm not upset about it. But this Luigi cat isn't my hero.
He isn’t some school shooter. He isn’t a crash out. He deliberately took steps to materially change the balance of power.
Dude just take the win. The perfect hero isn't coming. This isn't a Disney movie.
This is what one would expect Plain Simple Garak the Tailor to say.
Out loud.
You’re waiting for a perfection that will never come. This shit is always gonna be ugly.
Support.
A Hero? Oh yes! He saved those orphans from that fire Count Olaf started, I saw the whole thing. Happened just as that United Healthcare guy got whacked, meaning it totally wasn't Luigi! Not sure why I brought that up really!
...I've been having dreams about ASOUE and it makes me wanna take my books out of storage...
Except I never had the last two books in the series (Meaning I didn't even know the 13th one took place on an island till the Netflix series)
Until something actually factually nasty about him comes up, if anything ever does, totally agree.
Pay attention, you are about to watch whats known as a "smear campaign"
Every edgy facebook post, every website that could be construed as "extremist", any possible history of mental illness. They are gonna drag him through the mud, even if they have to manufacture the mud.
Ive been saying all along that the best result we can hope for is that he was never found or identified, because before now he was able to be idolised for whatever ideals we wanted him to have. I guarantee they are going to find a way to make him a pariah.
It's started already. I've heard the word mental illness several times in the media already.
Anyone know the names of the main media CEOs?
So it turns out that his family is very rich and he seems to have pretty good lawyers. Let's see how this all plays out.

Hes getting a shitload of slack from me as well as benefit of the doubt.
