If you believe rich white boy Luigi Mangione is a hero, but white Marine Daniel Penny is a murderer,

y'all just might be a hypocrite!


'cuz I'm pretty sure I think the opposite, which should also reveal me as a hypocrite. Edit: Unless my reasoning is sound, of course.

My mind may be captured by the culture war.



Good point. Taking another persons' life is always a big deal. Luigi's act was premeditated, which makes it murder. Penny's was not, so it doesn't meet the legal definition.

My opinion is self-defense or defense of others should be grounds for acquittal. Also that intervening to defend others when most people won't is absolutely heroic. So I guess you and I are in the same boat.

Do you think there are many people who truly see Mangione as a hero? - 10/12/2024 05:34:17 PM 34 Views

The involvement of other passengers is precisely why I'd doubt the need to continue choking him. - 10/12/2024 07:18:27 PM 26 Views

I was kind of expecting to hear more from the experts you referred to. - 11/12/2024 12:24:56 AM 26 Views
Well he was acquitted. So apparently 12 people agreed more with me than you. - 11/12/2024 12:51:51 AM 30 Views

I think a lot of people are joking, a lot are serious, and a lot--like me--have very mixed feelings. - 11/12/2024 09:51:57 AM 28 Views
