The accused killer of a UnitedHealthcare CEO hoped to "normalize" such acts, including last month's deadly attack on the NFL headquarters, prosecutors argue in a new court filing.

    Personally I think CEOs who are fine with killing thousands to save money inspire violence more

    Wrong. CEOs are inspiring others to commit violence.

      It sure seems to be a CEO thing.
      I can for sure say I feel inspired to commit violence by such behaviour:

        Am I missing something? This is a random guy who was an asshole and stole a hat from a kid who received it from tennis player Kamil Majchrzaks.

        I thought it was going to reveal that the douchebag was a CEO like the Coldplay affair couple.

          Sorry for having linked an article, which didn’t state who the hat snatcher was - especially them being a CEO.
          Gladly @ReiRose has sorted that out.
          Thank you, @ReiRose!

      Cops couldn’t afford to look incompetent. So they did the usual thing and picked a convenient sap to pin it on.

        Honestly, the best argument for his guilt is that he seems a rather inconvenient sap. He has rich parents who can help him pay for representation, he’s charismatic and attractive, and he’s overall a pretty sympathetic figure. Pinning it on some poor, crude guy seems easier.

        The eyebrows and the world’s most suspicious manifesto are definitely not compelling, though.

          Well, they had to pick someone who at least plausibly looked like the shooter.

          Nose is wrong though, too.

    Pushing for the death penalty while simultaneously claiming he’s “inspiring others to violence” certainly is a choice. Oblivious to the high likelihood only making him a martyr to a lot of people. A good reminder of just how utterly unimpressive our elites rulers are.

      Prosecutor: We believe the defendant is inspiring others to violence.

      Judge: That is a serious allegation. You must be able to provide at least one example.

      Prosecutor: Of course your honor. We feel inspired to kill the defendant and will be seeking the death penalty in this case.

      Oh they are 100% going to find a reason to kill Luigi. The trial will be for show. They are probably talking to Hollywood directors right now trying to figure out how the trial should look.

    No - a corrupt and malevolent system that provides grotesque and entirely undeserved privilege for a sociopathic few at the expense of the many is inspiring violence.

    Insurance companies purposefully putting bureaucratic delays and hurdles in the way of their dying customers getting life-saving treatments in order to generate record profits, essentially letting their customers die to avoid paying for their treatment, is what has, and will normalize violent acts.

    Yep, it’s this one dude who’s inspiring the besieged middle class into increasing action over time, and it’s totally not the entire systemically rotten core of big corporate America.

    You absolutely nailed it NBC, spot on.
