Do the feds not understand how a martyr is created?
That would be awfully hypocritical, given that Mangione’s crime in the first place was (allegedly) killing a mass murderer.
They think death, media popularity, and being remembered is going to dissuade others who are facing a lifetime of severe pain because their heath insurance won’t pay for treatment?
Putting him to death will make him a martyr
“Put him to death!” is an interesting take from the “violence is never the answer” team.
I genuinely don’t know if they’re doing this intentionally, or if they are just completely blind to it at this point, but violence is, and always has been, normalized and used in the dominating political/legal/governing/economic systems. It’s just not treated as such.
Because what is denying someone’s healthcare insurance claim that they are supposed to get if not violence? Or sending police after someone? Or sentencing someone to death?
Violence has always been part of the answer. It’s just that that answer is not officially allowed for the common rabble.
All that is going to cause is that if a copycat bring down another CEO is that there’s no reason to go down quietly when caught.
A person could get a whole room if they don’t need an escape route.
I cannot help but wonder if the USA legal system treats murder differently depending on who died, essentially legalising that some people are more valuable than others.

You don’t need to wonder. Your suspicion is correct.
It does.
The insurance industry does, and the insurance industry is apparently part of the US government, so yeah I guess it does.
