Luigi Mangione shouts a message to the American people on his way to court:

“This is completely unjust and an insult to the intelligence of the American people and their lived experience.”

        Where does the wealth go if his competitors are dead? Dude owns casions and hotels. If he offs the competition, that makes him a lot of $

          He no longer owns any casinos. Those went bust. Most hotels aren’t even his, he just leased his name out. Killing a CEO doesn’t put the competing company out of business, either.

              No. It doesn’t. They already replaced the dead one. You think there aren’t more greedy shits who will roll those dice? Or shareholders who will remain unaffected by the killings?

      Trump can already pardon himself. Even if he couldn’t, making enemies of the rich wouldn’t help himself, in fact it’d just do the opposite. The ultrawealthy have class solidarity, so Trump was never in actual trouble. They only face consequences if not doing so would majorly harm the collective image of the rich (e.g. this is why Jeffrey Epstein had to die).
