Prediction: The UHC shooter will develop a following of young women groupies (like Bundy and Tsarnaev)

[Sylvanz]

Well yeah, duh.

[snowthx]

Well, I guess, if he’s the killer, he’ll have a long time alone to think about all the women he could have dated. But he threw all that away, for…?

Slightly off-topic: The 2007 Michael Moore film “Sicko” is about the lack of socialized medicine in the US (since then, only partly ameliorated by Obamacare). A memorable stunt is Moore’s attempted visit (by speedboat) to Guantanamo Bay with a sick person, to underline how at least the Gitmo prisoners were getting free health care.

The current episode would make for an interesting post-script to that film. I wonder how Moore would have handled it.

I’d also suggest a nexus with Moore’s “Bowling for Columbine:”

The film explores what Moore suggests are the primary causes for the Columbine High School massacre and other acts of gun violence.

Taylor Tomlinson’s take…

To close out the category, Ken, I’ll also take “Roger & Me.”

Disguised as a TV journalist, Moore interviews some auto workers in Flint and discovers their strong disgust for GM chairman Roger B. Smith. Moore begins seeking out Smith himself to confront him about the closing of the Flint plants. He repeatedly tries to visit Smith at the GM headquarters in Detroit, yet he is blocked by building security. Over the course of the film, Moore attempts to track down Smith at the Grosse Pointe Yacht Club and the Detroit Athletic Club, only to be told either that Smith is not there or to leave by employees and security guards.

From there, Moore begins to explore the emotional impact of the plant closings on his friends. He interviews Ben Hamper, an auto worker who suffered a nervous breakdown on the assembly line and is residing at a mental health facility. Moore also talks to the residents of the affluent suburb of Grand Blanc, who display classist attitudes about Flint’s hardships.

I suspect Moore would have some thoughts on this shooting.

“WILL?” Within hours after Luigi was identified there were Reddit posts where a woman writes that she is offering unlimited sex, any hole, any position, any time, no protection,yada yadda. It is much longer then I paraphrased.

Someone who (allegedly) shot this particular CEO could look like Sloth from the Goonies and he’d still have legions of female admirers.

Someone who looked like Luigi Mangione could have strangled 20 innocent victims and he’d still have legions of female admirers.

Dude has the best of both worlds.

[Al128]

i think we’ll settle for “had” …

[LSLGuy]

Depends on your / their / his taste for jail porn.

Too old; just shoot me.

Are you a CEO? No? Hardly worth the effort.

And Moore speaks:

A Manifesto Against For-Profit Health Insurance Companies — by Michael Moore

That did not disappoint.

The woman who fixated on Kenneth Bianchi (one of the Hillside Stranglers) may hold the title of worst prison groupie ever.

In 1980, Bianchi began a relationship with Veronica Compton, a woman he had met while in prison. During his trial, she testified for the defense, telling the jury a false, vague tale about the crimes in an attempt to exculpate Bianchi. She also admitted to wanting to buy a mortuary with another convicted murderer for the purpose of necrophilia. She was later convicted and imprisoned for attempting to strangle a woman she had lured to a motel in an attempt to convince authorities that the Hillside Strangler was still on the loose. Bianchi had allegedly given her some semen during a prison visit to plant on the planned victim to make it look like a rape/murder committed by the Strangler.

Here is a NYP article on the subject.

He has plenty of male admirers too.

[LSLGuy]

Which of the several meanings of that do you mean?
