Luigi Mangione

Wasnt really a Luigi style shooting from what little Wikipedia has to offer so far. Dude just killed a bunch of random people and then offed himself. Literally just a mass shooting.

He killed:

• Didarul Islam, a 36-year-old off-duty police officer (ACAB)
• Blackstone executive Wesley LePatner (...)
• Julia Hyman, a recent college graduate working for Rudin (questionable)
• Aland Etienne, a 46-year-old security guard (probably not a cop considering it wasnt specified like with the other one)

Definitely not a targeted assassination. Still better than doing it in a school or club tho.

This is HORRIBLE! DOESNT he know that if you Want to Commit a MASS SHOOTING in the United States you MUST Target a SCHOOL and NOT places where Rich People wor"KKK"?

Until we know more we shouldn't.

We shouldn't glorify a person. We should glorify a deed. His intention most likely wasn't to shoot the bourgeoise, but just to shoot people. He just happened to get her.

But out of 4 victims we know one was a CEO and one was a cop. So only the other two may be innocents.

I have a feeling he didn't mean to kill the blackstone ceo, just a stroke of good luck

The CEO killed people every week, just not with a firearm.

I was in NY 2 blocks away when this happened. This dude has no redeeming qualities and would have happily shot you for looking at him funny.

He wanted to kill people from the NFL but did no reconnaissance and ended up murdering 4 completely unrelated people.

His manifesto is also just complete madness.

Edit to add: If anything this is another reason why there should be more publicly available resources for combating mental health issues and tighter gun control. But we all know there will only be thoughts and prayers and no real change coming any time soon.

Keep defunding mental health and social welfare, see where it gets you. Feel bad for the recent college grad and the security guard. Not so bad for the cop and the CEO of the corrupt investment firm.

I would only be impressed if somebody actually did something about the conditions that created the CEO in the first place.

Bullets are famously ineffective against these conditions.

You can shoot a capitalist, but you can't shoot capitalism.

bro stopped a mass murderer

Last week, the Department of Justice announced it had filed an amended complaint to its antitrust lawsuit against RealPage in order to sue six of the largest U.S. landlords for their alleged participation in a nationwide rental price-fixing scheme. According to the complaint, the six landlords allegedly coordinated their rents with each other through use of RealPage’s pricing algorithms and direct communication with competitors about rents and occupancy, among other tactics. Of those six landlords, three are owned by private equity firms: Blackstone, Greystar Real Estate Partners, and Cortland Management.

Blackstone, the nation’s largest landlord, with around 350,000 rental units, has faced years of scrutiny from advocates for its poor treatment of tenants. In August, the Private Equity Stakeholder Project (PESP) and the Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment (ACCE) published a report examining how Blackstone has profited from rent hikes and ramped up evictions in California. In 2021, Blackstone acquired 5,800 rental units in the San Diego area. Since then, the report showed, Blackstone has increased the rent at these properties 38% — almost double the 20% average rent increase for all apartments in the San Diego market during this period. The rent increase at some Blackstone-owned buildings was especially high – up to 79%. The report also noted how Blackstone touted to investors multiple times how the firm’s real estate investments benefit from declining new supply of housing, a key driver of the affordable housing crisis.

“As more and more Americans struggle with the cost of putting a roof over their heads, corporate landlords were allegedly colluding to raise rents ever higher,” said Jordan Ash, Director of Housing at PESP. “Everyday Americans can’t keep up with the cost of rent. Homelessness is skyrocketing. Folks are choosing between medicine and a place to live. We applaud the Department of Justice for taking decisive action to hold profiteers like Blackstone accountable.”

This headline can easily be part of an intended effort to associate the luigie situation with any shooting of a CEO or business leader. Reasons matter. Protecting luigie means enforcing strict conceptual differentiating between him and other acts of violence. We know there's a difference, we need to enforce that difference in every space the topic comes up. As soon as Luigie is successfully lumped in with random acts of violence, he loses the public sentiment that is his best protection.

Respect.

I neither praise nor blame him. I blame the NFL for not taking good care of him though. No-one deserved to die over that. Fuck capitalism.

He took the wrong elevator. He was looking for the NFL offices as he blamed them for his CTE. Only one person he shot worked for the NFL.

When are cops and ceos gonna stop celebrating the killing of the working class?…. Just playing devils advocate here.

Absolutely wild that someone with CTE can get an assault rifle in America.
