    We can only assume it’s because the healthcare industry fucked him or his family over the same way it has done to a multitude of others.

      Okay, I looked it up. I was wrong about him. We don’t have to assume. We know what his manifesto said, because it was published, and his struggle with the healthcare system was reported on in the news. Who knows what will come out in the trial, though.

        Yeah, I admittedly hadn’t looked back at that in a while, so I couldn’t remember. Good sleuthing looking it up for both of us.

          People with lots of privilege tend to have a sense of entitlement, so when life royally fucks them over, they’re more likely to flip out and kill people.

          Attributing what he did to a more noble motive isn’t surprising, but it also doesn’t seem to have helped much. I don’t see much talk about health insurance reform when Luigi comes up. It just seems to be a way for people to vent their anger and resentment.
