    I know it’s exited the news cycle, but I still remember this was a big thing for the left and right to both agree on supporting. I’d very much like to prompt Trump for his opinion on the man to force him to take a side.

          I bet more cops and bootlickers agree with you than not. My stance doesn’t promote any authority at all, it’s as simple as “pointless murder is wrong, doesn’t help us”.

          EDIT: BTW that user is a fucking Tankie so it’s extra ironic.

            Luigi’s assassination absolutely had a point, and had immediate results in BCBS rescinding/delaying their plan to cut anesthesia allowance for people during surgery. Luigi directly saved thousands of people from unnecessary suffering with just one targeted attack. Imagine what a more widespread action could accomplish.

            I’m betting you’re a cop. You’ve got the same blind loyalty to the law, paired with a lack of moral compass.

              BCBS announced those changed before the assassination, they also stopped suing over medical debts the year prior, got any others?

              Also, even if Luigi did somehow change that and not the countless other people including the governor going after them in court and on social media for the year prior, it would have saved people from potential debt, not death and not certain debt.

                  Ah wait hang on wrong link, 1 moment

                  Theres like a million articles talking about this story after UHC happened so it’s taking a minute

                  GOT IT! https://www.rochesterfirst.com/new-york-state/anthem-blue-cross-blue-shield-to-cap-anesthesia-coverage-after-certain-time-frame/

                  It was published Dec 4th talking about “last thursday” which would be Nov 28th!

                  Ah but the article was updated on the 6th…

                  You know what, I might have been misinformed about this, it’s possible that the changes took place on Dec 5th, all the paperwork being written up, board meetings held, and filed less than 24 hours after the assassination, although I still doubt Luigi had as much to do with it as the Governor saying “Outrageous. I’m going to make sure New Yorkers are protected" just before that. And also those bad policy changes were announced in late 2023 or January 2024 but also never implemented due to criticism they received then as well.

                    BCBS’s own website dates that statement release as December 5th. So yeah, you’re making it up.

            I agree that cops have no place here. If They wanna lick boots and circlejerk eachother about how just their unjust system is they can go to reddit or Twitter.
