All they said was the stanning isn't gonna protect him and it is true. I am suspecting that that the government might use lack of transparency in that prison to organize a ploy to have him killed. Mostly like have the prison guards kill him and cover up the crime, or give an inmate decreased sentencing to carry out a murder. Hell, they could influence the prison industrial complex to make sure he never leaves the prison, through dubious means and falsifying misconduct. This is the American government, go after the rich and they will ruin your life.

Unless you're arguing for the opposite, which would be murder is justified in specific circumstances. So what circumstances would that be? You seem to allow for billionaires. How about millionaires? Or maybe just billionaires whose companies have directly led to deaths. Should we kill the McDonald's or PepsiCo or Dunkin Donuts CEOs since their products directly correlate to heart disease and diabetes? Tell me you are stupid without actually telling me you are stupid. I certainly hope I don't get heart disease from my McDouble, you are right. My insurance probably wouldn't cover it when I get to the hospital

It's a simple principle.

The fact you're trying to correlate the two. Talk about stupid. Yes and not everyone is denied life saving medical care during an emergency. This CEO also I'm sure did not directly deny a specific person's care. Instead he likely pushed policies that indirectly imperiled someone's life. So his link to any such deaths is as attenuated as McDonalds CEOs actively knowing their products cause diabetes but continue to produce those products anyway. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanplh/article/PIIS2542-5196(21)00298-9/fulltext "387,195 adults were surveyed, 284,793 of whom were included in the study. 22,951 (8%) reported having diabetes. Fast-food outlet exposures were positively associated with diabetes prevalence. ..… The results of this study showed that in a large, adult population living in the Netherlands, fast-food outlet exposure was associated with greater odds of having diabetes in both urban and rural areas, compared with no fast-food outlet exposure." Maybe causality is too complicated a concept to understand. 2

"Mangione is trying to fight extradition to New York, where he'll be arraigned and likely formally charged. He'll probably wind up in Rikers Island, where, trust me...all that stanning by the public won't protect bruh", this phrase could mean a whole host of things. One of which is rape but, this could easily mean the powers at be putting a hit on him in prison. Like, he won't be in the public and people will stop caring after he is put in prison, they always do this.

A neoliberal magazine attempting to use a parody of AAVE to dunk on Mangione and defend the CEO he killed is not concerned with the rare risk that the government is going to kill him while in jail. The authori is quite literally joking about prison rape. 1
Idol_Maniac Posted Monday at 07:55 PM Posted Monday at 07:55 PM I'm aware of the preference by many to avoid extreme or uncomfortable comparisons, but how would people have felt about violence against slaveowners or anyone else who was pro-slavery during that era of U.S. history? I'm genuinely asking. Full disclosure: To whatever extent that it may or may not be relevant, I'm a white Hispanic American and not an expert on the topic by any means. 4 1
