NY - UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson fatally shot in Midtown. #11 *Arrest*

[Sundog]

I think it’s safe to assume LM will go to prison for a long while, regardless ofif h any large following he may have. I doubt our country will turn in to the “Wild West” of murderers “whacking” people without consequences. We are already overfilling our prisons for far less than murder. The “uprising” from LM followers will give him a good chance at parole, imo I don’t believe he will spend life in prison. Privilege being one reason. (Im not versed in legalities around parole.)

He will get a parole board hearing if and when his sentence allows it (not if he gets life without parole but yes if he gets a sentence that allows for parole after a certain amount of years, etc.) But the family and others harmed by LM (i.e. the victims) will have an opportunity to appear before the parole board and make their case for why LM should remain in prison and not be eligible for parole at that time. I suspect the issue of LM being a danger to society may be an issue at parole, unless LM can prove he has been rehabilitated and been somewhat of a model prisoner.

I don't see him doing well in prison for 20 + years. I think he is riding on a high now due to his social media fans and the nurturing of his legal team and prison consultant.

I hear you! I don't wear clothing with words or put bumper stickers on my car!

But, I think the three Ds mean something else.

This is MOO, but here goes:

The original three words appear in a book titled, "Delay, Deny, Defend: Why Insurance Companies Don't Pay Claims and What You Can do About It."

LM changed the words to Delay, Deny, and Depose. The first two are the same, and the third follows alliteration, but I think it's a threat. "Depose" in LM's usage (again, MOO) indicates that those who delay and deny claims unfairly (the CEOs of Insurance Companies) will be deposed (removed from power) by violence. At least that's how I took it -- I took it as a direct threat to the companies and their top dogs.

I could be wrong, but I think that's why it resonates with the young, impressionable segment of society. All MOO

Oh I think it means deposition. But your interpretation is on the list of meanings.

Moore is Michael Moore. He's known for his documentaries etc. Michael Moore - Wikipedia

I had to search "Moore" also. I thought he was referring to an economist or something. He's not talking about Michael makes the movies? Is he? Sure enough he was.

And Rosenthal is allegedly NYT reporter Elisabeth Rosenthal. Michael Moore responds to Luigi Mangione’s cryptic message

She wrote ‘An American Sickness: How Healthcare Became A Big Business and How You Can Take It Back’

I have felt it meant deposition as well.

Thank you so much! For the life of me, I couldn't think of Michael Moore.

But yes, that makes sense now!

Thank you, too! A book to add to my reading list!

At the time, I wondered it was because her knee. The old song, "the knee bone's connected to the hip bone" etc. She could have referred pain in her hip and, back due to her knee. Tucking stuff in at the waist may have aggravated everything with her knee. Leaving shirt untucked gives her more hip mobility, which is needed during a knee injury.
Just MOO.

Thank you for at least making a guess!

But she didn't have to tuck it in to make it be invisible up under her sweater. We older people do that all the time. I advise looser waistbands if tucking in a lightweight top makes one's knee hurt (I have spondy like LM, but also two bum hips and one bum knee; I would just fold the tail of my shirt up and cover it with my sweater if I had to appear in court.

OTOH, if it was the classroom and I was trying to be an aging hipster, I'd do what she did (or some other similar hipster thing to do).

I think you may be onto something though. This was an unexpected new job for her, she's still recovering from knee surgery, and she just said to herself, "I'm comfortable and I'm wearing this shirt tail out."

(But she's aware that she is allying herself with the younger crowd, IMO).

Thats just not true. It didn't matter who he was. We knew about this because it was a broad daylight assassination with a masked gunman in the middle of NYC by a guy using a silenced weapon. This simply doesn't happen, which is why I followed it.

And I followed it because of the company involved, not because of Mangione's looks.

LM Reference to Rosenthal?

....
Then he makes this comment:
"But many have illuminated the corruption and greed (e.g.: Rosenthal, Moore), decades ago and the problems simply remain."
Is anyone aware of the writings of Rosenthal or Moore that he's referencing?

snipped for focus @GRT
Another poster (sorry, forgot who, but TYVM) mentioned Elisabeth Rosenthal. Maybe this one? FWIW

From Amazon's author bio:
"Dr. Elisabeth L. Rosenthal, was appointed editor-in-chief of Kaiser Health News in 2016, after more than 2 decades with the New York Times. She received a B.S. degree in biology from Stanford University, an M.A. degree in English literature from Cambridge University, and an M.D. degree from Harvard Medical School.

"Rosenthal began her Times career as a reporter in the science department, and went on to cover the health and hospitals beat on the metro desk. In 2008, after a stint in Beijing and another in Rome, she returned to the U.S. as a New York-based Times senior writer covering environmental issues.

"Rosenthal went back to healthcare writing after being asked to cover the Affordable Care Act during the 2012 election campaign. Libby’s two-year-long New York Times series “Paying Till it Hurts” (2013-14) won many prizes for both health reporting and its creative use of digital tools. "An American Sickness: How Healthcare Became Big Business and How You Can Take it Back," her first book, grew out of her desire to help patients understand and tackle the high cost of U.S. medicine.

"Kaiser Health News is an independent, non-profit, newsroom based in D.C. focusing on health and health policy. Its stories appear in a wide range of media partners from the New York Times and the Washington Post to NPR and the Daily Beast. (It is not related to Kaiser Permanente or the Kaiser Health System.)"
