Will Luigi Mangione be bailed out? (lemmy.world)

As a British lad, I've been keeping tabs on the news about this guy and the wide support he's getting.

With so much support, surely the public will get him out of jail just to spite the bastard rich kids and their CEO baron fathers?

The Man who was shot allowed a massive corporation to dangle its strings over people's lives, medication being pulled away which is horrifying to me who uses the NHS as my primary medical service for hearing.

What do you think? Will Luigi "The CEO Reaper" Mangione ever get out of prison?

Lives are more important than shareholder value and no feduciary lawsuit would ever rule otherwise.

Yes I think extra-judicial punishment is a fitting end when judicial punishment fails to even start. Again, what's legal and what's moral are not the same. Luigi took one life sure, but how many lives do you think will be saved because insurance executives are a little more scared of looking like murderes to their customers? Hundreds? Thousands?

If I'm making decisions that directly lead to the death of my customers in exchange for monetary gain then yes please lock me up.

Indeed. That's why murder is illegal, not to mention a moral abomination. I didn't read the rest of your comment.

Clearly not all murder is illegal. And the whole reading thing tracks. They have systems out there that will help you learn.
