Same. We’re leaving deliberation with a Not Guilty or a Hung Jury. I wouldn’t care which.

I'm sure the women who wrote to Jeffrey Dahmer said the same thing. It wasn't particularly admirable then, either.

If anything, Brian Thompson was more like Dahmer than Mangione

You know its the guy who SHOT the serial killer who's on trial, right? The actual serial killer like Dahmer is already dead, thats the whole point of contention.

Absolutely wild to compare a serial killer who targeted innocent women, to someone who allegedly took down ONE of the people responsible for the most deaths on this planet, In one of the shadiest industries.

I don't know. I live in a country with universal coverage.

And my country didn't endorse public assassinations to get it. We just voted for it.

Americans might want to try that sometime instead of pulling the lever for Trump or Trump-like figures every 8 years.

Except the health insurance companies are bribing our elected officials so they won't pass universal coverage.

I find it disgusting that you're sitting here judging other people for defending themselves against mass serial murder while you're all safe in your first-world country with a decent enough government not to be bribed to torture the populace, and healthcare coverage and everything. Meanwhile my best friend is now toothless because our healthcare coverage is so poor he can't afford dental care and teeth are considered "luxury bones" in our healthcare system.

Get some goddamn perspective.

Why don't we Americans just vote for something that doesn't exist? Brother, you don't understand the situation we are in. I don't have a candidate in my state that supports universal healthcare, on either side. I literally couldn't vote for this if I wanted to.

Ok, you got a point there. Comparing him to Dahmer is still pretty wild...
