Whomever pulled the trigger did something we all like, I don’t think anyone is being dishonest or shy about that. Just like how most of the US was loving Seal Team 6 when they took out a famous mass murderer. Luigi is just a symbolic stand in since we don’t know the identity of the killer. And it doesn’t hurt that he’s very good looking.
You people act like denying medical claims which eventually lead to death was murder, when there were other options the ill might have taken. He didn't pull a trigger or order anyone to do so. These were dying people already. Nature pulled that trigger.
Don't get me wrong. I absolutely think it was a horrible thing to do as a large medical insurance provider, but you CANNOT conflate the CEO of an unethical company to a guy who orchestrated the direct killing of thousands of people in one attack.
I can compare those scenarios and I will, and I say there is no difference if 1000 people die at once or over a long time, the person still has a hand in 1000 deaths.
Brian Thompson was well paid for his actions as well, it was a choice he made.
Uhhh, yes we CAN
