Your spin on this story is not fooling anyone! How can you say in the same breath that Brian Thompson was not motivated by money right after you said he dumped a bunch of stocks when he found out he was being investigated for insider trading? He knew he was doing something illegal at the expense of these pension funds but somehow he’s this wholesome good guy… How do you think he moved up the corporate ladder, by caring so much about patients??
He was being sued by a firefighter's pension fund in Hollywood Florida for inside trading but the robber baron didn't care about money. I guess he killed people for fun then.
Healthcare should not be a life and death struggle. Healthcare should be a human right. "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" is enshrined in the founding of this nation. There is no liberty or happiness without life. Healthcare is critical to life. Healthcare, in its current form, is broken and we should not have to wait any further. We need reform now!
All you need to know about Brian Thompson was that he was a greedy scum bag who killed hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people by purposefully denying them life saving care.
@@Anna-ww4pv hahahah have you watch news and interviews on LAWYERS and LEGAL EXPERTS? they all said that the public sympathy on Luigi is a big problem to the prosecution? you should learn jury nullification and they filed a terrorism case (coerce or intimidate the public) against Luigi.
@Anna-ww4pv Luigi killed one man, while Brian Thompson probably killed or bankrupted thousands in order for United Healthcare to make 23 billions in profits last year. Murder should never be justified, but my god, where is your sense of perspective?
So basically Thompson forgot where he came from and didn't give two sh*ts about middle to lower class people and Mangione was able to see the problem of class discrepancy in the healthcare system. That's what I see
Mangione did this as a big F you to his family for the way they treated people in nursing homes and made all that money. Instead of going after your family, easier to go after the CEO of an insurance company.
@nobody-m4o personally, I don't care why he did it. But something needed to be done and an open and public conversation needs to be had. He made that happen. There could be various reasons he did it so I'm not going to assume it was against his family
What good is the conversation when it‘s still one side vs the other? You think killing one CEO is gonna change the healthcare industry? You think once the news cycle dies down they won’t return to doing what is best for the bottom line aka their pockets? Mangione did this for the fame and nothing more. He’s no different from the system that made him and his family filthy rich. That’s why he said “healthcare checks every box” because he needed a cause that was gonna gain him, not only fame, but public support. He’s not a hero, he’s a cold-blooded killer who claimed to idolized people like Ted Kaczynski, another highly educated weirdo who decided that anarchy was the way. Only Ted was really about the causes he claimed to be fighting for, whereas Mangione is about himself.
@@ladyprudence6 are you serious? He put together an algorithm that would automatically deny claims , gave the company 12 billion profit this was implemented in 2021
Brian Thompson has been the CEO since 2021 and claim denial rates went up on his watch. Explain how he’s helping customers access essential health care? Stop with your bias!
Exactly! The only thing he did was kill people from behind his desk by denying their claims. That's all he did all day long, that and play golf. That nonsense about Thompson wanting to change things was Public Relations. Clearly it was a massive lie since he went straight to participating int eh creation of an A I system that's only purpose is to deny claims.
Two things can be true at the same time. While the AI initially function poorly AI can work 24/7 without lunch break or salary. Thus United Healthcare could keep the premium rates lower thus low income people and employers in low pay service branches could afford it, plus it made profits to shareholders (who to a great part are pension funds seeing trough that pensioners get their monthly pay).
@@Anna-ww4pv We all have choices and my chosen profession is to serve the general public as a federal government employee. I’m no hero but I choose not to harm others in my short existence.
You can learn a lot about a person based on their tone of voice when discussing this case. Btw, I have so much more respect for someone "born with a silver spoon in his mouth" who empathizes with the people his family made it's wealth from, then someone who grew up modest and decided to make his wealth off the blood of families like the one he was raised with. We can't choose what household income we are born into. How we choose to live our lives is what matters. If you let your bias lower a little and actually looked into Brian Thompson's history, maybe you could understand how while obviously it's heartbreaking for his children, there's not going to be a lot of people who aren't apathetic. Channels have been covering this case 24/7 because the billionaires only care about the billionaires. A woman was literally set on actual fire on a New York subway on Monday, while a cop walked right by her and took no action, and while the man who murdered her, sat and watched her corpse burn on a bench. Not one word from mainstream society. Because only rich people's lives matter. Those of us who don't make millions a year, are met with apathy when we die, so why should we care when the rich people oppressing us die?
💯 As someone who has never had trouble getting the healthcare I need, and even had United Health pay for an expensive surgery 25 years ago (that was mostly elective, to be honest), I am no less angered for the people who have bad experience because of corporate greed. It's too bad United Health has fallen so far present-day. Everyone suffers....
Because you people that complain about the rich have MADE them rich. You shop at Starbucks, McDonald's, Wal-Mart, and you buy on Amazon as if it's going out of style, then you complain that Bezos is a BILLIONAIRE. You're all the problem. You don't like it, shop small businesses in your home towns. But, nooooooooooooo Amazon is so convenient and Wal-Mart is cheap. You all buy smart phones and make Apple and Google executives rich while the people who make the phones in China are paid $2 bucks an hour. Hypocrites the lot of you.
When we'll see the "Hitler was more than a Nazi" Episode? The CEO kids and wife lived off blood money. This portrayal is shameful and made more disgusting for all those who suffered even more because of their CEO denial policy.
I wonder why Vinnie doesn’t tell us about the Thompson divorce. I wonder what age his sons are and whether they crossed paths in the Ivy League schools and college campuses or university classes. Who benefits most from the death of Thompson. Think about that
You guys want us to care about Brian Thompson so bad and it’s not working AT ALL. It angers the media that public support is overwhelmingly behind Luigi and not the soul-sucking corporation for which Brian was the CEO of. ALSO! Under Brian Thompson’s watch, AI denial of people’s insurance claims increased. Bet you’re not going to mention that in this fluff piece.
1.) Cheated On Wife 2.) Frequented Strip Clubs 3.) Separated From Wife 4.) murdered many by denying valid and necessary health claims. All we need to know.
Would denying claims causing the death of a human being, getting paid $10 million a year for doing it - considered negligent and intentional homicide? Asking for a friend??
We know he was CEO of the insurance company that is the dirtiest in a very dirty field. We know it got more profitable and dirtier under Brian. Many people died and suffered pain specifically as a result of his and AI decisions.
I don't either. Unfortunately that's the way the world views things. And even considering that Thompson's wife and kids wanted nothing to do with him for years. ...I can't stand to hear this sad violin song playing for him.
Brian Thompson will never have a trial if true because his k*iller decided he had the right to make him a symbolic target but he'll get a trial and be a "parasite" to the taxpayers of NY.
@@KsangelnokIt’s a typical for large companies to sponsor events to boost their public profile. Thompson also spent millions on government lobbying and was responsible for acquisition of competitors resulting in loss of employment for many providers. We all can Google
Yeah, Brian’s life is more than what you did- IT’S WHAT HE DID TO OTHERS! Thompson had a prestigious job that affected MILLIONS. You are the legacy you leave. Yes, he had a family, but unlike a lot of us smaller working class families where our actions might affect our family and potentially our friends and community, this man affected millions of others’ that weren’t his own. As far as him not being motivated by money, I’d like to hear your explanation for his illegal inside tradings that he was under investigation for 🤔
We love Luigi and not Guilty. Thomson maybe had a humble beginnings but became extreme greedy and destroyed many lives. So I am sorry Vinnie you are not selling him to us.
6:53 …bandit raccoon eye socketed bt’s gaslighting lies about him leading the way in working on lowering healthcare premiums but didn’t didn’t age well…at the cost of his own life, someone finally said enough is enough.
I think that how he negatively impacted thousands of people’s well being overshadows other aspects of his life. Most people are not interested in Brian Thompson, the family man because he was not interested in his clients as human beings with families. They were only sources of revenue as premium payers and money losers when they needed to make a claim.
I like what the New York former police officer said - security detail isn’t prerequisite for CEOs. I don’t want my taxes going to police protecting corporations.
They can hire their own private security. Simple. Hopefully, the CEOs of Starbucks and McDonalds are doing this. After seeing the dummies who are cheering this on, they're probably worried about who's next.
@@Anna-ww4pvwhen did he confess? And why is he putting this things in quotes “it checks every box” 😂don’t be surprised when the lawyer reveals he didn’t write the “manifesto”
And they have to prove BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT! So far I haven't seen any evidence that goes "beyond a reasonable doubt." Maybe that's why the prosecutor needs so much time to look for "voluminous" discovery. Because he still doesn't have the slam dunk he needs to prove Luigi guilty.
Did you guys ever bother to listen to Mangione’s friends who came forward and commented about their relationships with him? “Kind” “Unassuming” Helpful” Are these the descriptions of a narcissist? I think you’re barking up the wrong tree. There is something more here.
He is on our side if he’s for due process and law and order. So many people who justify the murder if an innocent man are also against the death penalty. Go figure.
Stop bragging that man was a family man with 2 children’s , had a great job not worry if can bring food to the family table, How about the the thousands of people who has died because were denied life saving procedures, nothing is going to change People perception ,
He did his duty, now it's time the people of NY to do theirs. These elites seem to forget that this is OUR country, OUR government, and OUR justice system too. Maybe it's time they're reminded of that. Just want to share a information: Jury nullification refers to a jury's knowing and deliberate rejection of the evidence or refusal to apply the law either because the jury wants to send a message about some social issue that is larger than the case itself, or because the result dictated by law is contrary to the jury's sense of justice, morality, or fairness. Essentially, with jury nullification, the jury returns a “not guilty” verdict even if jurors believe beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant broke the law. This can occur because a not guilty verdict cannot be overturned and jurors are protected regardless of their verdicts. Jury nullification is legal. “When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty.”
What “thousands” of people? What are you talk g about? And that CEO wasn’t responsible for anyone’s death. Go back to Obama care and see what effect that had.
Am I the only one who sees the irony that Vinny keeps insisting this guy was more the just a CEO… Hey Vinny, LITERALLY because he’s the CEO of United is the ONLY reason why you’re making this little report here. So stop the fake outrage.
You need to investigate his ex wife and those threats Brian Thompson was receiving prior to his shooting. All that information is crucial part of this story and could answer many important questions. Truth be told!
I wonder how was it when Brian got to the other side and probably saw the faces of the many thousands of people that died because he denied them from getting proper and necessary health care coverage.
It's all good. Brian said he was trying very hard to fix the healthcare industry, so he'd only take $10,000,000 per year. Shame on you for caring more about your family's lives.
@@binthompson You seem to imply that business in context of healthcare should only have altruistic drive for it and if they don't they are bad people for it? I see a lot of comments around on this issue that complain in demagogic phrases about "corporate greed" etc which just show some ignorance how it works. A great part of the shareholders who want returns on their investments consist of pension funds. And about all of the modern western world has a proportionately large amount of pensioners. And these oldies had fewer kids than their parents had. So there is somewhat less money going into the system while still older people, naturally, consume more healthcare. The problem Mangione quoted with having the most expensive healthcare in the world and at the same time lowered life expectancy is real for sure. But as ugly of a fact it is may depend on availability of doctors, maybe there are too few examined. Then there is a demand issue from a population where too many have poor lifestyle choices that unfortunately make them prone to have the chronic illness that some decades back were seen as health issues that struck old people. But now you have surgeons taking off limbs on people only in their 30s because they can't be arsed to try and manage their diabetes. That United Healthcare is a very large company have also a reason that they have made the effort to have among the worst fees/premium rates. I would guesstimate that is the insurance offered by employers with low salaried service jobs and such, which may come with other problems of course. But anyhow, the availability and increased demands for healthcare in general is likely not that much insurance companies realistically could be doing much about. In theory maybe they could but in reality way less (for the perceived individual right of not owing anyone health and hang on to crappy lifestyle choices). Edit: and I'm sad to say that I couldn't help myself from chuckle a bit when I saw that clip at CNN showing the crowd outside the court cheering for Mangione. 9 of 10 of them were obese or larger and pretty much part of the problem Mangione claim to be angered about. Cognitive decline has gone down the drain. Edit #2: for the availability factor. I could compare stats from 2017: in Sweden where I live we had 4.1 practicing physician per 1000 of population while USA had 2.6 per 1000. We still have demographic structures causing some problems and some degree of increased obesity rates around 15% but not as high as over 30% as in USA. And there is "slicing" to cut cost in our government subsided system.
@@johannas.l.brushane2518 I invite you to give up your Scandinavian socialized healthcare and come here to America to experience the joy of our system.
He didn't care about money having come from a working class background? That makes no sense. John D Rockefeller came from a working class background and he was a monster.
Vinny is the son of a federal judge who grew up with huge wealth and privilege and was handed everything in life, including his career - of course he’s going to try and spin this trying to fool us to not see that Brian was nothing more than a criminal.
When what you do kills sick people its who you are. When your business model is deny sick people help, your job is evil. When you make millions of dollars hurting people, that is who you are. He takes work home, he does overtime, he bends the rules, he was greedy, stealing the hope from desperate people. Most successful people love what they do, so it doesnt feel like work. Health care should profit from helping, not profit from hurting.
Wow- Vinnie- I didn’t think you thought so small! Money does not equal mental health whatsoever! Worries change but just because you have nice things doesn’t mean your physical/or mental health isn’t horrible! I don’t approve of murder but I understand what it’s like trying to circumvent the health care system as a patient. And I’ve been through the same horrors as the rest the country! My healthcare recently decided I can’t use a medicine I’ve been using for around 15 years and what’s crazier? It’s because I don’t have Medicare or Medicaid! The system is set up for everyone including the doctors to fail!
I wish I cared……but I don’t. . I find it very difficult to care about someone who didn’t care about anyone but himself and the investors. Safe travels Brian. If you reincarnate….dont be a doosh.
United Health Corporation has lobbyists all over telling the media what to say and telling Merrick Garland at the DOJ what to do. UH Corp is also telling Governor Hochul and Alvin Bragg to increase the charges to what they have become.
Thanks for keeping us updated! I feel sympathy and empathy for our country. low income people are suffering to survive, and I appreciate Victoria Anne Leonard. You've helped my family with your advice. imagine investing $30,000 and receiving $95,460 after 28 days of trading.
I began investing in stocks and Def earlier this year, and it is the best choice I've ever made. My portfolio is rounding up to almost a million and I have realized that when a stock makes it to the news, chances are you're quite late to the party, the idea is to get in early on blue chips before it becomes public. There are lots of life changing opportunities in the market, and maximize it.
So when you apply for a job the pay doesn't matter??? When it's time for your review and a possible raise do you not take the raise and insread request free parking....longer lunch breaks....a shorter work day
According Luigi’s background, his personality, his educations, Luigi did not need to risk his precious life, his family’s wealth to just want to be a hero. He is clearly tried to get his voice heard, his voice about how many lives have been murdered by health insurances denied. God bless America, Let it be justice. Humanity over profits.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Politan's commentary couldn't be more tone deaf. Didn't take long for Thompson to forget that folksy past. Mangione had more empathy for the common man than the supposed common man himself.
He didnt care about the folks he denied health insurance for themselves and family poor folks like myself cant afford to give a fuc especially to the rich.
You have no idea who he is and what he cares about. Your have chosen “knowledgepower” but your comment is showing ignorance- should I call you a hateful fool?
People keep saying BT killed so many people because their coverage was denied...be for real...yall making it seem like he was personally making the decision to deny coverage
I have a feeling luigi knows something that we don't. He's very intelligent and has a master's degree in computer science at an ivy league college. I feel like he hacked into something and saw something he didn't like about Brian or about united healthcare.
I'll keep it short and sweet..."Oh Well" They dont care fore those who need help and can help them! What do you expect? People are starting to fight back and the establishment doesn't like it. WE ARE TIRED!!!!
I have to say, LE should put forth just as much effort in finding other people’s killer as they did on this one, I guess it’s only worth their effort if you make 10 million a year, then I bet they find your killer in 6 days but if you make 30,000 a year more than likely they don’t give a crap enough. ..
Bruh what’s with this working class Brian Thompson was a humble guy propaganda? I don’t like Luigi Mangione at all but this attempt propaganda is starting to make me agree with him
As a worker whose company uses UHC insurance I can see thru the he’s a person a family man etc what about the thousand of dollars I pay a year for healthcare and the claims that are denied on a monthly basis.. pay 5 k a year for it and the meds I’m on for years they deny to pay for them so a extra 600 a month..
It could have been the other way around, someone organised to meet Thompson and now that he is dead we will never know who. Mangione just knew to be there not knowing when he was going to show up, that’s why he went and bought snacks.
In specifically what hotel he was staying his time to get up and leave for the meeting and method of transportation and more importantly what route at what specific time.
If government will allow the health corps (not only insurance companies) charge us extra to provide CEO’s with security details, or will spend our tax money on their protection, what will happen with the government ?
@@Anna-ww4pvI didn’t write anything about government subsidizing UHC. I am writing about: 1) payment for security will fall on those insured; 2) police protection is coming from our taxes, which is indirectly involves government. What’s not clear?
@@Anna-ww4pv since you brought up funding, why don’t you use Google and research if the U.S. government subsidizes the UHC. I am sure you will find that it does, including ACA Marketplace, Medicaid, Medicare Advantage, and Federal Employees Health Benefits plans.
I know my name showed up on at LEAST ONE FBI List from this. Brian has very little to do with the bigger picture. I don't care how they're trying to potray Brian. He was the CEO, you don't get to that position without knowing. He knew exactly what he was doing. Nullification !
I watched Sicko last night and was just going to say what you did! It was truly eye opening and makes me ashamed of my country for letting us die unnecessarily because we are denied medical care!!
Mangione was angry about the equation of USA having highest cost per capita for healthcare yet lowered life expectancy. One part of that is demographic, with a relatively high number of old people who naturally tend to need more healthcare which is also a problem for basically all modern western countries. But where USA stick out different is a couple of other areas. One is they have fewer medical residencies per capita. Another is the level of individuality and amount of people with poor lifestyle choices, as one example in the last three decades childhood obesity have quadrupled. Aside of massively increasing the risk for chronic illness in early years it is also so that obesity is associated with more forms of cancer than smoking. But plenty of the influencers who want to include obese people into "body positivity" (which initially was for people who could not do anything about their conditions and handicaps) tend to have an attitude they perceive as sassy with they "don't owe anyone health". Europe outscore USA in alcohol consumption though if we compare avoidable lifestyle impact.
94 comments were left. But roughly, ( doing a quick count. ) and being generous by including replies. Give or take 3-5 for error. If I didn’t include replies it would be disastrous, and not being sure if they do include replies, in the total. Number number of comments, so I am giving it the benefit of the doubt, I included them . 52 are showing. This would equate only 55% of the comments that were left , were approved. Which is a 45% denial rate !!! What can we learn from this?
The CEO was not motivated by money because he came from working class? That's an odd conclusion since you would think not coming from money makes you more interested in it. The fundamental question is whether Brian Thompson was good or evil. Was he the CEO when the infamous policy went into effect. If not, did he do anything to rescind it when he came into power?

You shop at Starbucks, McDonald's, Wal-Mart, and you buy on Amazon as if it's going out of style, then you complain that Bezos is a BILLIONAIRE. You're all the problem. You don't like it, shop small businesses in your home towns. But, nooooooooooooo Amazon is so convenient and Wal-Mart is cheap. You all buy smart phones and make Apple and Google executives rich while the people who make the phones in China are paid $2 bucks an hour. Hypocrites the lot of you.

When we'll see the "Hitler was more than a Nazi" Episode? The CEO kids and wife lived off blood money. This portrayal is shameful and made more disgusting for all those who suffered even more because of their CEO denial policy.
I wonder why Vinnie doesn’t tell us about the Thompson divorce. I wonder what age his sons are and whether they crossed paths in the Ivy League schools and college campuses or university classes. Who benefits most from the death of Thompson. Think about that
You guys want us to care about Brian Thompson so bad and it’s not working AT ALL. It angers the media that public support is overwhelmingly behind Luigi and not the soul-sucking corporation for which Brian was the CEO of. ALSO! Under Brian Thompson’s watch, AI denial of people’s insurance claims increased. Bet you’re not going to mention that in this fluff piece.
Stop trying to make us to feel bad for a CEO who’s responsible for thousands of deaths
Think about the children seeing disgusting comments about their father… sick
Mr Thompson humanity is being lauded , nothing about the lives of many who has died under his leadership as CEO . This reporting is bias
@@leephilips3669 keep them off internet and news then
@ Think about the thousands of children who have seen their parents died because they were denied care by greedy CEOs like this…sick
@@leephilips3669these people don’t care
1.) Cheated On Wife
2.) Frequented Strip Clubs
3.) Separated From Wife
4.) murdered many by denying valid and necessary health claims.

Brian Tompson search: he has a DUI Mug Shot
@@Natalie_TrueCrime Another great quality to add to the list 🙄😂
Would denying claims causing the death of a human being, getting paid $10 million a year for doing it - considered negligent and intentional homicide? Asking for a friend??
You are asking for America my friend.
The fact that he had children is IRRELEVANT and doesn't make his life any more valuable than any other human being.
Free Luigi ❤❤❤
exactly. and he was probably a really bad husband, his wife was estranged from him and didnt even care when he died!
THERE'S NO PLACEforvigilantesor vigilantejustice in a CIVILIZED SOCIETY.
❤free Luigi
Sons are adults
We know he was CEO of the insurance company that is the dirtiest in a very dirty field. We know it got more profitable and dirtier under Brian. Many people died and suffered pain specifically as a result of his and AI decisions.
If I don't have a family and children, is My life worth less???????!!!!
I don't either. Unfortunately that's the way the world views things.
And even considering that Thompson's wife and kids wanted nothing to do with him for years.
...I can't stand to hear this sad violin song playing for him.
@@janeferguson4455 Thank you!
I have a family and people sĥuld not say that my bil was single and that doesn't make him less a valuable good person .
The CEO was a vampire not a man chill tf out Politano
His victims had families also! His sympathy has been DENIED!
Brian Thompson was supposed to be behind bars. Now he's 6 feet under. Life is mysterious that way.
Brian Thompson will never have a trial if true because his k*iller decided he had the right to make him a symbolic target but he'll get a trial and be a "parasite" to the taxpayers of NY.
I concur
Well, Karma can be bad.
karma
And fate
Would you say the same things about Bin Laden? But he has kids!!! He was more than he did!!!! Give me a break
Excellent point!
All of Bin Laden's wives and kids...
Brian thompson was also arrested for dui in 2017. Did you report that, too?
DUI ...murder.....oh yeah I see it now !! How stupid!!
3 times!
He was on the board of the Special Olympics. They paid tribute to him in a statement
@@KsangelnokIt’s a typical for large companies to sponsor events to boost their public profile. Thompson also spent millions on government lobbying and was responsible for acquisition of competitors resulting in loss of employment for many providers. We all can Google
@@Adriana-hx1bf You gotta drink heavy when you know you unalive people for a living. Evil
Yeah, Brian’s life is more than what you did- IT’S WHAT HE DID TO OTHERS! Thompson had a prestigious job that affected MILLIONS. You are the legacy you leave. Yes, he had a family, but unlike a lot of us smaller working class families where our actions might affect our family and potentially our friends and community, this man affected millions of others’ that weren’t his own. As far as him not being motivated by money, I’d like to hear your explanation for his illegal inside tradings that he was under investigation for 🤔
Well said!
We love Luigi and not Guilty. Thomson maybe had a humble beginnings but became extreme greedy and destroyed many lives. So I am sorry Vinnie you are not selling him to us.
Luigi didn’t have a personal grievance with BT.
You sure as hell are not selling murderer Luigi to us.
@@Anna-ww4pv That makes his murder okay then? Nothing personal.
6:53 …bandit raccoon eye socketed bt’s gaslighting lies about him leading the way in working on lowering healthcare premiums but didn’t didn’t age well…at the cost of his own life, someone finally said enough is enough.
@@Anna-ww4pv ridiculous comment
Let's talk about the crimes UHC committed. Let's talk about why Luigi did this. I skipped the part about the CEO.
How do you not get it? It’s the fact that one of the rich is sticking up for the poor. Not that somebody poor became rich.
Exactly!
First time watching Court TV but I can already tell which side Vinnie Politan’s bread is buttered on.
The truth is inconvenient to the narrative of the poor little rich guy Luigi. Ego maniac.
Vinnie's just an actor getting paid to put the spin on it that will help prime the pump for more jurors who sympathize with Thompson.
Pathetic.
@@Xianne027exactly he’s the mouth piece for corporations trying to skew public perception. Sad.
I think that how he negatively impacted thousands of people’s well being overshadows other aspects of his life. Most people are not interested in Brian Thompson, the family man because he was not interested in his clients as human beings with families. They were only sources of revenue as premium payers and money losers when they needed to make a claim.
Eloquently put.
I like what the New York former police officer said - security detail isn’t prerequisite for CEOs. I don’t want my taxes going to police protecting corporations.
They can hire their own private security. Simple. Hopefully, the CEOs of Starbucks and McDonalds are doing this. After seeing the dummies who are cheering this on, they're probably worried about who's next.
@@nobody-m4ogood they should be thinking about repercussions for their actions .
@ I don’t give a flying f*** about CEO and their lackeys
Luigi didn't say he did it, he said on the court that he is not guilty. They have to prove it first. He's still innocent.
He had already confessed
No, he doesn’t
@@Anna-ww4pvwhen did he confess? And why is he putting this things in quotes “it checks every box” 😂don’t be surprised when the lawyer reveals he didn’t write the “manifesto”
And they have to prove BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT!
So far I haven't seen any evidence that goes "beyond a reasonable doubt."
Maybe that's why the prosecutor needs so much time to look for "voluminous" discovery. Because he still doesn't have the slam dunk he needs to prove Luigi guilty.
@@Anna-ww4pv No, he didn't.
This is a man with thousands of painful deaths on his blotter.
Vinnie, he has not divided the population, he has literally united the entire country.
Nope. He did not fool everyone. Not by a long shot.
Exactly. The only people who are mad about this are the extremely privileged people who either are rich or just haven’t needed healthcare so far.
@@Rdk557 There are a lot of boot lickers in the world.
He has not united the entire country.
@@SundayGarfield
Yes. He has. Left and Right
Did you guys ever bother to listen to Mangione’s friends who came forward and commented about their relationships with him? “Kind” “Unassuming” Helpful” Are these the descriptions of a narcissist? I think you’re barking up the wrong tree. There is something more here.
A lot of those quotes from his friends are pretty much before the trigger point(his surgery). We don't know much about his post surgery state.
Vinnie is not on our side. He used to be objective but it is clear that he is bought by the corporates. Very disappointing indeed!
He is on our side if he’s for due process and law and order. So many people who justify the murder if an innocent man are also against the death penalty. Go figure.
Stop bragging that man was a family man with 2 children’s , had a great job not worry if can bring food to the family table,
How about the the thousands of people who has died because were denied life saving procedures, nothing is going to change
People perception ,
John Wayne Gacy and Bin Laden had children. Terrible argument. They can’t seem to find any redeeming qualities about Brian.
@@Rdk557 So did Joseph Stalin and Caligula.
He did his duty, now it's time the people of NY to do theirs. These elites seem to forget that this is OUR country, OUR government, and OUR justice system too. Maybe it's time they're reminded of that.
Just want to share a information:
Jury nullification refers to a jury's knowing and deliberate rejection of the evidence or refusal to apply the law either because the jury wants to send a message about some social issue that is larger than the case itself, or because the result dictated by law is contrary to the jury's sense of justice, morality, or fairness. Essentially, with jury nullification, the jury returns a “not guilty” verdict even if jurors believe beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant broke the law. This can occur because a not guilty verdict cannot be overturned and jurors are protected regardless of their verdicts. Jury nullification is legal.
“When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty.”
What “thousands” of people? What are you talk g about? And that CEO wasn’t responsible for anyone’s death. Go back to Obama care and see what effect that had.
The 1% are backing Thompson, which includes Court TV. 👎
Why can you still not pronounce "Mangione" properly?
Who cares? He doesn't deserve to be recognized properly!
@@UniquelySusieFree Luigi!!
@@UniquelySusie I was going to say that too. Who cares?
And to think Vinnie is an Italian himself! Pitiful
I love @courttv but I am so tired of the talk about the CEO.. you guys should know your audience better.. lol
Brian’s job was very immoral ..
Am I the only one who sees the irony that Vinny keeps insisting this guy was more the just a CEO… Hey Vinny, LITERALLY because he’s the CEO of United is the ONLY reason why you’re making this little report here. So stop the fake outrage.
I lost all respect for Vinnie.
It's poetic how a multimillionaire CEO died lying on the sidewalk with the same view many homeless people saw as their last.
Truly.
It deserved no better.
You’re evil. God help us if people like you ever held power.
LOL. It hasn’t divided the nation. It’s United the nation.
He pulled down the mask to let the girl do an ID check. The flirting part might have happened, might not . Please don’t prey on the gullible mind
That's all this video is: a spin to prey on gullible people who lack the intellect to study the facts of this case
@ horrible, this host is like paparazzi , making stuff up
It’s not even him
You need to investigate his ex wife and those threats Brian Thompson was receiving prior to his shooting. All that information is crucial part of this story and could answer many important questions. Truth be told!
If you ever wondered who owns Vincent P., well I guess now you know.
Yep. Now we know 👍
I wonder how was it when Brian got to the other side and probably saw the faces of the many thousands of people that died because he denied them from getting proper and necessary health care coverage.
Oh that room not in his network... He's at the southern branch
It's all good. Brian said he was trying very hard to fix the healthcare industry, so he'd only take $10,000,000 per year. Shame on you for caring more about your family's lives.
Why is it worse than Mangione's family running hospice facilities? Are they running them as charitables?
@@johannas.l.brushane2518 How is that relevant?
😂
@@binthompson You seem to imply that business in context of healthcare should only have altruistic drive for it and if they don't they are bad people for it?
I see a lot of comments around on this issue that complain in demagogic phrases about "corporate greed" etc which just show some ignorance how it works. A great part of the shareholders who want returns on their investments consist of pension funds. And about all of the modern western world has a proportionately large amount of pensioners. And these oldies had fewer kids than their parents had. So there is somewhat less money going into the system while still older people, naturally, consume more healthcare.
The problem Mangione quoted with having the most expensive healthcare in the world and at the same time lowered life expectancy is real for sure. But as ugly of a fact it is may depend on availability of doctors, maybe there are too few examined. Then there is a demand issue from a population where too many have poor lifestyle choices that unfortunately make them prone to have the chronic illness that some decades back were seen as health issues that struck old people. But now you have surgeons taking off limbs on people only in their 30s because they can't be arsed to try and manage their diabetes.
That United Healthcare is a very large company have also a reason that they have made the effort to have among the worst fees/premium rates. I would guesstimate that is the insurance offered by employers with low salaried service jobs and such, which may come with other problems of course.
But anyhow, the availability and increased demands for healthcare in general is likely not that much insurance companies realistically could be doing much about. In theory maybe they could but in reality way less (for the perceived individual right of not owing anyone health and hang on to crappy lifestyle choices).
Edit: and I'm sad to say that I couldn't help myself from chuckle a bit when I saw that clip at CNN showing the crowd outside the court cheering for Mangione. 9 of 10 of them were obese or larger and pretty much part of the problem Mangione claim to be angered about. Cognitive decline has gone down the drain.
Edit #2: for the availability factor. I could compare stats from 2017: in Sweden where I live we had 4.1 practicing physician per 1000 of population while USA had 2.6 per 1000. We still have demographic structures causing some problems and some degree of increased obesity rates around 15% but not as high as over 30% as in USA. And there is "slicing" to cut cost in our government subsided system.
@@johannas.l.brushane2518 I invite you to give up your Scandinavian socialized healthcare and come here to America to experience the joy of our system.
He didn't care about money having come from a working class background? That makes no sense. John D Rockefeller came from a working class background and he was a monster.
They’re running out of good things to say about Brian.. funny how they not once mention anything of all the bad he did.
Not one single millionaire/billionaire out there gets it. Greed taints their souls
So Vinnie, now you're getting paid to sell us on Thompson? Trying to get sympathy for potential jurors?
You lost me.
Vinny is the son of a federal judge who grew up with huge wealth and privilege and was handed everything in life, including his career - of course he’s going to try and spin this trying to fool us to not see that Brian was nothing more than a criminal.
When what you do kills sick people its who you are. When your business model is deny sick people help, your job is evil. When you make millions of dollars hurting people, that is who you are. He takes work home, he does overtime, he bends the rules, he was greedy, stealing the hope from desperate people. Most successful people love what they do, so it doesnt feel like work. Health care should profit from helping, not profit from hurting.
Wow- Vinnie- I didn’t think you thought so small! Money does not equal mental health whatsoever! Worries change but just because you have nice things doesn’t mean your physical/or mental health isn’t horrible! I don’t approve of murder but I understand what it’s like trying to circumvent the health care system as a patient. And I’ve been through the same horrors as the rest the country! My healthcare recently decided I can’t use a medicine I’ve been using for around 15 years and what’s crazier? It’s because I don’t have Medicare or Medicaid! The system is set up for everyone including the doctors to fail!
He thinks that way because he is small. Wouldn’t surprise me if there’s nothing between his legs
Luigi hasn’t even been convicted yet. This is premature and could hurt his right to a fair trial.
I wish I cared……but I don’t.
.
I find it very difficult to care about someone who didn’t care about anyone but himself and the investors.
Safe travels Brian.
If you reincarnate….dont be a doosh.
Ur 100% pissing everyone off VPI. Humanizing this evil man is only adding more fuel to the fire. Jury nullification for Luigi. Free Luigi
United Health Corporation has lobbyists all over telling the media what to say and telling Merrick Garland at the DOJ what to do. UH Corp is also telling Governor Hochul and Alvin Bragg to increase the charges to what they have become.

Thanks for keeping us updated! I feel sympathy and empathy for our country. low income people are suffering to survive, and I appreciate Victoria Anne Leonard. You've helped my family with your advice. imagine investing $30,000 and receiving $95,460 after 28 days of trading.
I began investing in stocks and Def earlier this year, and it is the best choice I've ever made. My portfolio is rounding up to almost a million and I have realized that when a stock makes it to the news, chances are you're quite late to the party, the idea is to get in early on blue chips before it becomes public. There are lots of life changing opportunities in the market, and maximize it.
What opportunities are there in the market, and how do I profit from it?
You can make a lot of money from the market regardless of whether it strengthens or crashes. The key is to be well positioned.
I would really like to know how this actually works.
All you need is a good capital and the
service of a professional broker, with those your investment will most certainly produce high yields.

According Luigi’s background, his personality, his educations, Luigi did not need to risk his precious life, his family’s wealth to just want to be a hero. He is clearly tried to get his voice heard, his voice about how many lives have been murdered by health insurances denied.
God bless America, Let it be justice. Humanity over profits.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
No one hears his voice now. Attorneys have shut him up. That must be killing him. He did this for attention.
@@ginnymurray1869 to bring attention to a bigger problem yes.
God doesn't exist and why would he care about America? No one else does.
His background actually point out how moral thinking is possible no matter income
The CEO killed more people for money than Luigi did every jury needs to find Luigi not guilty
Politan's commentary couldn't be more tone deaf. Didn't take long for Thompson to forget that folksy past. Mangione had more empathy for the common man than the supposed common man himself.
Vinnie Vinnie Vinnie NO ONE CARES neither did his own people. They carried right on with their meeting.🤣
Like the ceo care about the family that the insurance denied and has died 🤬🤬
I dont care who Brian Thompson was, I know what he did. Free Luigi!
I’ve always been judged by what work I’ve done. My entire life more than 30 years.
He didnt care about the folks he denied health insurance for themselves and family poor folks like myself cant afford to give a fuc especially to the rich.
You have no idea who he is and what he cares about. Your have chosen “knowledgepower” but your comment is showing ignorance- should I call you a hateful fool?
People keep saying BT killed so many people because their coverage was denied...be for real...yall making it seem like he was personally making the decision to deny coverage
You forgot 1 little detail, BT most probably was a psychopath, and his wife had divorced him
Vinny,how much you get paid for cleaning Thomson,his can be good went his youth,both his change and can to be greed,people change Vinny ext!!!!!💪🏾🇵🇷🇵🇸
tell us who should be targeted if not Bryan, if THAT was ironic?
I have a feeling luigi knows something that we don't. He's very intelligent and has a master's degree in computer science at an ivy league college. I feel like he hacked into something and saw something he didn't like about Brian or about united healthcare.
Well Vinny since his death the hc industry has issued less denials and have reversed thier decision to limit anesthesia thanks Luigi
I'll keep it short and sweet..."Oh Well" They dont care fore those who need help and can help them! What do you expect? People are starting to fight back and the establishment doesn't like it. WE ARE TIRED!!!!
I have to say, LE should put forth just as much effort in finding other people’s killer as they did on this one, I guess it’s only worth their effort if you make 10 million a year, then I bet they find your killer in 6 days but if you make 30,000 a year more than likely they don’t give a crap enough. ..
You’ll never make us hate Luigi. Sad attempt.
Bruh what’s with this working class Brian Thompson was a humble guy propaganda? I don’t like Luigi Mangione at all but this attempt propaganda is starting to make me agree with him
Why don't you like Luigi?
They just assume people are dumb and that we all will just blindly swallow their propaganda.
As a worker whose company uses UHC insurance I can see thru the he’s a person a family man etc what about the thousand of dollars I pay a year for healthcare and the claims that are denied on a monthly basis.. pay 5 k a year for it and the meds I’m on for years they deny to pay for them so a extra 600 a month..
Why don’t you ask Obama. The result of the ACA is high premiums, low service.
Brian Thompson: America's most prolific serial killer
His wife wasnt even with him and his kids will get over it like thousands of parents and children of the people he sentenced to death by DENYING
Luigi Had to have a source on Thompson's location and Exact details of his schedule! when will we learn who !!??
It could have been the other way around, someone organised to meet Thompson and now that he is dead we will never know who. Mangione just knew to be there not knowing when he was going to show up, that’s why he went and bought snacks.
In specifically what hotel he was staying his time to get up and leave for the meeting and method of transportation and more importantly what route at what specific time.
Y'all ignorant... The location of the investors meeting was printed in Forbes and Better Business magazine LMFAO!!! It was also on the hotels website.
That wasn’t Luigi! He’s a patsy!
@ Perhaps, but a willing one.
I have never heard of a migrant being denied of a life saving healthcare procedure.
Think about that for a second. 🤔💭
100% of every comment on this video and on You Tube sides with Luigi.
Be civil?? You people are dancing around what the health insurance industry has done or not done to people
How about Obama. This is a result of his ACA.
This news channel needs to be put out business permanently.
This propaganda is INSANE
Death is awful that is probably why so many side with all those who were denied the chance of life because of greedy corporations
Free Luigi! ❤

I noticed the wife that lived down the street has commented about him being a great guy and father? She would know better than the media right?
Hasnt
I know my name showed up on at LEAST ONE FBI List from this.
Brian has very little to do with the bigger picture.
I don't care how they're trying to potray Brian. He was the CEO, you don't get to that position without knowing. He knew exactly what he was doing.
Nullification !
Watch the documentary Sicko. Maybe Luigi did also.
About the American Health Insurance system. It's heart wrenching.
I watched Sicko last night and was just going to say what you did! It was truly eye opening and makes me ashamed of my country for letting us die unnecessarily because we are denied medical care!!
@@Bhoneyb355why are any Americans denied when they’re more than happy to provide medical to immigrants illegally in this country?
@@Bhoneyb355pack your bags and gtfo then you disgarce
Sicko is referenced in the manifesto
Mangione was angry about the equation of USA having highest cost per capita for healthcare yet lowered life expectancy. One part of that is demographic, with a relatively high number of old people who naturally tend to need more healthcare which is also a problem for basically all modern western countries.
But where USA stick out different is a couple of other areas.
One is they have fewer medical residencies per capita.
Another is the level of individuality and amount of people with poor lifestyle choices, as one example in the last three decades childhood obesity have quadrupled. Aside of massively increasing the risk for chronic illness in early years it is also so that obesity is associated with more forms of cancer than smoking. But plenty of the influencers who want to include obese people into "body positivity" (which initially was for people who could not do anything about their conditions and handicaps) tend to have an attitude they perceive as sassy with they "don't owe anyone health".
Europe outscore USA in alcohol consumption though if we compare avoidable lifestyle impact.
Exactly, that CEO was everything that is corrupt with your system. How many lives did that CEO take advantage of? Yea, Vinny. Sit down and be quiet.
94 comments were left.
But roughly, ( doing a quick count. ) and being generous by including replies. Give or take 3-5 for error.
If I didn’t include replies it would be disastrous, and not being sure if they do include replies, in the total. Number number of comments, so I am giving it the benefit of the doubt, I included them .
52 are showing.
This would equate only 55% of the comments that were left , were approved.
Which is a 45% denial rate !!!
What can we learn from this?
The CEO was not motivated by money because he came from working class? That's an odd conclusion since you would think not coming from money makes you more interested in it. The fundamental question is whether Brian Thompson was good or evil. Was he the CEO when the infamous policy went into effect. If not, did he do anything to rescind it when he came into power?
Not too many people are buying this propaganda anymore.
ugh.... this take was gross. innocent until proven guilty anyone. Don't think I'll be watching your videos anymore.
