If I was rich, wouldn't I just pay the fines though? I hear about megacops fined billions of dollars every year for doing this shit they don't give a fuck

Edit: Okay my brain processed the information now, criminal prosecution sounds like slightly more deterrence. (Nobody would do an illegal thing, after all ;)

Criminal prosecution isn't even an issue because it does not extend to the executives. PG&E somehow keeps paying fines to resolve murder charges.

Hence, the alleged action of Luigi Mangione.

If the law of the government doesn't catch up, eventually the law of the jungle will. But maybe not in their lifetimes.

As President John Fitzgerald Kennedy said: "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable."

it remains hard to imagine a jury that would convict, fully knowing he actually killed the mass murderer. reasonable doubt might almost work againt mangione
