To dismiss his act as not being a sane one really diminishes Mangione's agency. He outlined his reasons, and seemed to grasp the weight of the choice he made in the letter that was found in his personal effects. I think there's a line of logic to his actions that you do not need to endorse, but that anyone examining the situation in an honest way can track. While it is beyond the parameters of what we historically have considered an "acceptable" approach to addressing massive policy problems, years and years of stagnation in any issue (and let's be honest, we have many big issues that are facing years of inaction and neglect, or deeply insufficient incrementalism) will lead to more people like this. I do not *hope* for that future, I prefer the one where policy actually addresses our problems, but I think we've seen that for decades that isn't how our government works anymore. I am afraid we won't see that future. If people don't like what happened, then government and industries will need address the weight of the innumerable problems that are crushing people. Healthcare costs, rising credit card balances, car loan defaults, sticker shock at the grocery store, declining personal savings year-over-year. People are going to get pushed to further extremes. This man had more resources than most of us, more than I do certainly, and even he still couldn't bear the weight of his problems. I don't like that this is what someone felt they had to do, and I don't think it's the answer, but I can't pretend that I don't understand why it happened and why people frankly aren't upset about it either.
@@traviskitteh nor any introspection into the reasons why so much of society reacted the way they did and again attempting to drive and push a narrative without actually grasping the praise and anger behind the reaction people have had.
This was the desperate act of an insane 26-year-old suffering mental and physical anguish due to a broken healthcare system, a corrupt insurance industry, and a dysfunctional government refusing to provide oversight. His lawyer should file a class action lawsuit against health insurance companies and name the US government as witness.
himself is not even a victim of the current health care system at all. he is from a rich family and could pay anything. he is not from your class at all! so he doesn't represent your interests at all!!
@@Claudia-bo5vf absolutely ridiculous to postulate that people can only act from self-interest and not in the greater good. Do you do anything for the greater good or only act out of self-interest 24-7?
We have aways lived in very violent times, and the reasons/ rationale have always been much the same in their various contexts. Luigi did not do this alone. My guess is his life of privilige has bought him a chair at the book club pretty much sums it up. Not a leader in any case.
It's nearly impossible to make any sense of this guy's complaint that no one is talking about banning guns as a result of this incident. I don't agree with banning guns, the second amendment exists for a good reason. But it's easy to understand that the reason people have a visceral reaction to school shootings and immediately call for more gun control is because in those cases the victims are innocent children. Needless to say, the victim here was NOT an innocent child. Oh, and by the way, guns were banned in the area were the shooting happened and those laws obviously didn't do much.
Don't you worry, friendo. Our corporate masters will be certain to make a fine example out of Mr Mangione, and any other poor that dares challenge their god-given power.
Luigi is a narcissist who lost his job experienced ego disintegration and needed to become a revolutionary hero to compensate. By his own admission he knew very little about health care but wanted to become a somebody by going after corporate greed.

Narcissistic culture. He didn't experience healthcare injustice. No way he acted for the greater good. Duh. Why let people like that on the air?
Capital punishment for Luigi.
