Yeah, that's not a prank. That could have killed people if nobody noticed it.
I hope they lock his dumb ass up for a long time.

From the last wave of pranks when people licked ice creams and put it back I have learned that messing with food is a federal crime in the US and is taken quite seriously.
Now, this could qualify as terrorism.
Not a single murder of a psychopathic indirect mass murderer CEO.
Doubt many CEOs shop at Walmart, otherwise it would totally be terrorism charges.
you'd be surprised. A fairly large number of them are quite miserly, even in their personal lives.
What do you believe his political motive was in spraying the produce?
Whatever you think it is to fit your personal narrative /s
What was the political motive between Luigi YAHOOO-ing the ceo?
I would recommend you reading his manifesto as long as you can, its not long but its being taken down from pretty much everwhere
It's been publicallly stated neither him nor his parents were customers of that specific insurance company, so the manifesto is likely fake.
The “We have no indication that he was ever a client of United Healthcare…” (https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/12/13/us/ceo-shooting-luigi-mangione-unitedhealthcare) is a little far away from a definitive statement, isn’t it? If they knew that not to be the case, why wouldn’t they say it so? Its really shouldn’t be hard to find out
So... do you think he was a customer, and they just haven't found out yet?
Like you said, it shouldn't be hard to find out. Therefore, he almost certainly wasn't a customer. They'd know.
I mean, I get your point......but not every story has to be compared to other stories. In this case Luigi. I also see other people bring up politics during stories that have nothing to do with politics.
And I wonder why people do that. Why talk about an unrelated topic when there's already an interesting topic?
I guess it's not as bad as reddit, where they would instead just post a random unrelated quote from the office, but still....
It's quite simply what's on people's minds right now. It was a major event, it outlines some of the systemic inequalities, and people are interested in the subject.
It's a current event being compared to another current event. One about a murder, and the other potentially attempted homicide, depending on the pesticide used. Seems to be pretty related to me, regardless of any politics.
Just because they call it a "prank", and the media uses the same shitty term, that doesn't make spraying pesticides on food for unsuspecting citizens to grab any less dangerous.
Corporate needs you to find the difference between this story and this story.
(They're the same story)
It reminds me of the dupes on Facebook that comment "must have been a Kamala voter" on every video of someone doing something stupid.
What political cause or ideology do you think this was done in support of?
Now, this could qualify as terrorism.
🤣
"Prank"
He only got ~300 likes on his posts, too. Dude's picking up a felony charge for 300 likes.
Good, let him rot in irrelevance, and prison.
I don't know what community I thought I was in, but I thought this was gonna be some joke story about Jar Jar Binks running a police force. Those cops need to fix the spacing for "Mesa"
It's remarkable that it needs to be said but... Don't record yourself doing crimes and post it on YouTube.
It's just a prank, bro!
