from ABC News 
Patreon-exclusive Fireside Chat podcast about the case of
#Luigi #Mangione, accused of assassinating a healthcare CEO.
In this episode we discuss the US healthcare system, about Mangione and his past, about media and public reactions to the killing, and about historical parallels and differences with past assassinations.
On March 19, Luigi Mangione was scheduled to have his first court hearing on federal death penalty charges, accused of assassinating healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, so we thought this would be a good opportunity to talk about the case.

Mon ikke USA når at få en ægte martyr inden Trumps kleptokratiske regime ender? #Mangione
No matter what happens, it'll be a travesty. The #US #oligarchy is chomping at the bit to make an example out of #Mangione.
But, I'm pretty sure the judge is smart enough to also know that martyrs breed copycats.
If he or she doesn't, I'm guessing the next big domestic terrorism act will be by people who don #LuigiMangione masks.

I'm not cheering the actions of #Luigi. Just like #NRA members aren't cheering for #massshootings. I just believe we should all have a #Mangione option just in case powerful forces start oppressing us. Just like #MAGA folks keep those #AR15 close "just in case." #ThoughtsAndPrayers

You can find case updates there, an FAQ, and if you're inclined to do so, you can contribute to his #legal #defense #fund (goal is 1 million USD; raised, as of now, about half of it).

Deny, defend, depose.
Drei Worte, drei Kugeln, mit denen #Luigi #Mangione mutmaßlich einen #CEO einer #Krankenversicherung erschoss.
Die Tat erntete Zustimmung v.a. in den #sozialeMedien.
Thema des Abends ist #Angst als Motor für die Zurichtungen im #Kapitalismus.
Was neben Luigi auch Elon #Musk und die #Afd damit zu tun haben, erfahrt ihr an diesem Abend.
Look, framing is important, right?
Luigi #Mangione did not kill a CEO. He's merely a concerned citizen exercising his 2nd amendment rights.
*shrug*
Mangione extended his arm out with a gun in it and repeatedly made "trigger pulling" gestures, drawing comparisons to "shooting."
Mangione ignited speculation and chatter online when 3 bullets entered brian thompson's back.
The motion has drawn comparisons to "shooting" employed by numerous "shooters" throughout the ages. Some good, some bad.
After the hand gesture, Mangione continued cycling. Manhattan is a wonderful place for cycling

Heard some US podcasters talking about Luigi #Mangione and the great difficulty expected in finding 12 jurors that would convict him, even without defense arguments. Americans know exactly why it happened and the health care companies are widely reviled across partisanship.
The US is a society awash in violence by capital against people, empire colonialism, stuffed with weapons, etc. It's a lot to expect that resistance won't be violent.
Interesting perspective.
Quote: He should have known that if he wanted to murder someone – and get away with it – there were far more socially acceptable ways of doing so.

Sorry for all the reposts, but sometimes I just have to share stuff that I agree so hard with that just leaving a
