    It’s a shame the CEO was okay.

    Homies gotta put in more time at the range before attempting to file a claim directly with the CEO.

    Could just be an accident right? Theres so many guns in the US and also the cops shoot and miss all the time.

    UK cautions its travelers to the US to avoid walking around alone at night, and almost every country warns travelers that the US is a more violence-prone place and full of firearms than they are used to.

    I can’t tell if they posted his income to say he is paid too much or too little… It’s a weird thing to include, it didn’t seem to fit the article at all.

    Poor guy getting shot at and doesn’t even make a million a year. Absolute tragedy.

      They mention a yearly bonus of around $200k in addition to his $550k/yr salary, but he may very well receive additional bonuses for meeting sales quotas or god knows what else. Not to mention stock options, which are given to every executive as a kind of tax-free additional salary.

      All that to say, I wouldn’t feel too bad for him.

    Yeah, I’ve got some tips…

    One, don’t be a moron and send threatening emails before the job is done, that just puts people on alert and makes it more likely you get caught, especially considering traceability of email.

    Two, don’t fire blindly into a house you colossal moron, you can probably find a hiding spot good enough to wait until your target comes outside so you can get a clear shot.

    Three, don’t pull out the gun until you’ve got a confirmed target, and don’t pull the trigger unless you’re goddamn sure you got a killing shot, on the right target. Remember one of the things everyone likes about Luigi is that he was successful, and the other thing everyone likes is he didn’t hurt anyone.

    And four, if successful, once you get out of the immediate area, make sure not to be carrying around any goddamn incriminating evidence.

        Luigi went from epic mastermind assassin to getting busted in a shitty fast food place with tons of incriminating evidence on his person. This bullshit needs a “epstein didn’t kill himself” level meme

          I mean yeah, I’ve been saying he was a patsy since the day he was arrested. The dude manages to evade capture for an entire week, then gets caught with a written manifesto and the entire (easily disassembled and broken into pieces to be scattered where cops will never find the entire thing) ghost gun fully intact? The entire thing smells like “accidentally” disabled body cams and planted evidence.

            He also sprinkled some crack on top of his own head, so if the other stuff didnt get him, that crack is pretty damning.

      he didn’t hurt anyone

      … else?

      Also, while the state and federal government claim otherwise, they carry the burden of proof and Luigi Mangione currently claims innocence. So, unless you are also accusing him, you should add some qualifier to “[Luigi] was successful”.

        … else?

        This presumes I would consider the creature that was killed as ‘someone’.

        And sure, legally he has to claim that. But unless all the evidence they found on him was planted, which I think is a bit too much of a stretch (not because I don’t think they would do it, but because I think it would be too likely to come out that it was planted), then in any situation where my comments do not cause legal jeopardy I don’t have an issue talking about him doing it as though it were fact.

      The reality is that Lugi was one in a billion: smart enough to plan and execute something like this, but also had the motivation (due to health problems and personal reasons) to actually do it.

      Most people who grab a gun to solve problems are unfortunately just lunatics, we just got lucky with Luigi.

          Considering there are like 340 million people living in the US, it’s quite unlikely for another to emerge at those odds, especially since the insurance Execs went on higher alert after the first incident

      I like to think that some version of this conversation took place:

      “Chief, should we release this security footage to the press?”

      “Why wouldn’t we?”

      “Well, it looks like bigfoot. Like a bigfoot scam video.”

      “It sure does. But if we don’t release it, they’ll say we’re suppressing it.”

      “As long as you are prepared for the jokes and memes, Sir.”

        Maybe almost human shaped, I’d say the arms are curiously long for a regular human and the torso is much bulkier than our’s, but I am no expert on human or bigfoot anatomy.

      It’s just common sense. You fire into the home of a CEO working in a corrupt industry and you kill what, like five people? Maybe more?

      Shooting up a school can have a way higher body count. It’s a no-brainer.

        Line must go up! That’s what I learned from shareholders. But what line, you ask? Any line. Shareholders don’t care what the line shows, as long as it goes up. Can’t have less children killed in school shooting than last year, that’s just bad business.

      Only if the company doesn’t contest it. It’s possible someone was injured on the job but the company didn’t want their insurance rates to go up, so they argued against it.
