Now, this could qualify as terrorism.
Not a single murder of a psychopathic indirect mass murderer CEO.
What do you believe his political motive was in spraying the produce?
What was the political motive between Luigi YAHOOO-ing the ceo?
I would recommend you reading his manifesto as long as you can, its not long but its being taken down from pretty much everwhere
It's been publicallly stated neither him nor his parents were customers of that specific insurance company, so the manifesto is likely fake.
The “We have no indication that he was ever a client of United Healthcare…” (https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/12/13/us/ceo-shooting-luigi-mangione-unitedhealthcare) is a little far away from a definitive statement, isn’t it? If they knew that not to be the case, why wouldn’t they say it so? Its really shouldn’t be hard to find out
So... do you think he was a customer, and they just haven't found out yet?
Like you said, it shouldn't be hard to find out. Therefore, he almost certainly wasn't a customer. They'd know.
So… why aren’t they saying that?
United already has a serious public image problem with their 30%-35% claim denial rate.
How much worse would it be if they said, "yeah, Luigi's back problems could have been easily fixed by surgery, but we decided to deny that claim and put him on painkillers for the rest of his life." They'd be admitting that one of their many fark-ups got their CEO killed. And that's not going to help their case if this ever goes to trial.
That's just how cops talk. Police are trained to speak as vaguely as possible in order to not give the defense any ammunition. If they say "he was not a customer" then the defense can use that in the trial, and why would they want to help the defense?
Now answer my question. Do you think he was a customer, and they just haven’t found out yet?
How on the bloody earth would assassinating his character help his defense? Maybe if they were lying, that could help I guess?
He is either ought to be, or he is a set up! It is very suspicious that after a week of headless panicking they found the suspect with the murder weapon and an apparently false paper explaining that he did it
They are not giving a definitive answer and merly giving their (less legally binding) professional opinion. Its like they dont want to know or publish an absolute.
Yeah that's how cops talk. They don't want to put a professional statement out there if it helps the defense.
