Some see Mangione as a hero?

This is pretty much my thought. What in the end will change?

Here's one thing that will change. CEOs will now be negotiating security packages into their contracts, it will become a routine stipulation, just another cost of doing business. Which means more money siphoned away from those in need and funneled to high end executives. Murdering a CEO is an idiots solution, it will never help balance the scale.

It is galling that some people get paid a lot of money to hurt us. Though the news made it sound like he only got 10 million dollars, and that sounds low to me for a CEO. The CEO of Lyft gets 78 million.

Yes, his pay package was $10.2 million - "His $10.2 million annual pay package, including salary, bonus and stock options awards, made him one of the company’s highest-paid executives".
I read that the average CEO pay in this country is $13.9 million. However, I wouldn't feel too bad for this guy from a salary perspective, $10.2 million annually = $4,903.84 per hour.

Maybe the Elderly will learn from his stupid sacrifice. Forget health,
move on quickly to the next dimension.

The Zit pockmarked old fart sat there with Kentucky Whisky and self-rolled cigars, all his 18 + life, at the local Bar. "How old
are you the lovely new young blond Barmaid asked?" "29 "- "Last Friday, celebrated again today."

But seriously the CEO's set directions of a company but the underlings are the ones doing all the dirty work. The CEO doesn't
know the particulars. Why would he want to.
It's at the lower levels where all sorry UR so screwed decisions are made.

Bar the windows and Ur doors and give em all the finger.

I disagree. The CEO sets the tone. If she is pressing people to meet goals they can’t meet using ethical methods, often the lower levels are forced to do unethical things to keep their jobs. I have seen this several times.

Heck some baseball player makes 50+ million a year. The poor CEO is being treated like a mangy dog. :)

Never thought of that but you may be right.
 
It looks like ABC's 20/20 will explore this topic tomorrow night. I will record it and decide later if I want to see it.
 
Heard an interesting phrase..
We live in a common sense world..
that's becoming uncommon sense!

He has to plead "guilty" if he wants to be a martyr. Otherwise he's just a chickens--t cowardly murderer. Of course I think that's what he is anyway.

Yes ^^^^. The coward shot someone in the back.

I still have the rusty old pig de-nutter, from my parents farm, that I would Be happy to use on him —

Since when has it been ok for people to go around shooting each other in the back because they don’t like what the other one represents. I really am glad I’m old————

It’s sad and troubling when a murderer is considered to be a hero and our leaders busy themselves with amendments to change national birds and rename mountains instead of working together to address real life issues.

These things are not mutually exclusive. No matter what happens, normal every day business needs to continue.

What happened here is a materialization of the online hatred that has become normal every day language. Someone somewhere will always take things to the next level.
 
This pos copy cat killer apparently thinks so.

A Walgreens employee was killed by a gunman who has a 'grudge' against big pharmacies. The victim was not even a pharmacy employee which was closed at the time. He tried to kill others as well.

Suspect who killed Walgreens worker ‘had grudge against big pharmacies’, police say

I knew this would happen especially with all the teenage like infatuation and idolization of Mangione. Law and Order already did a fictional episode that basically mirrored the first month of the story. Pundits and public showing way too much sympathy and empathy for a cold blooded killer exploiting that murder for political gain.

Big Pharma and big national chain retail pharmacy stores are two different thing. DUH. I knew it. And this sadly won't be the last copy cat.

Another victim with a wife and a children

RIP store employee making a living for his family
 
No one has the right to take another person’s life. For the mere fact that he shot his victim in the back shows that he is a coward. The government is seeking the death penalty and even though its unlikely the jury will recommend death, he will probably end up spending the rest of his life in prison. He also faces additional charges in Pennsylvania.

He may get better care for his back pain being in Federal prison.

@C50 Well said. If LM had half a brain with logical thinking, we would have tried another way to bring about change. Violence is never the answer. I am so tired of people thinking violence and intimidation is the only solution to a problem.

It also means a rise in premiums.

Same with the arsonists who are scratching and fire bombing Teslas. Insurance companies aren’t going to absorb the losses they have to pay out. The costs will get passed onto the policyholders.

There was a Rhode Island State congressman that was caught on camera scratching a car because it had an anti-Biden bumper sticker on it. He admitted to being guilty and was fined, plus ordered to make restitution for repairs.

All these crimes are absolutely hideous and juvenile.
 
Mangione is most probably mentally impaired. There doesn't seem to be any issues in his background, which would account for his animosity towards CEO Thompson. One thing Mangione did was show that a health insurance company CEO was responsible to his stockholders rather than the insured. And health insurers were a business and not a charity.
