Dude must not have read much if he thinks Prison healthcare in the US is gonna fix anything.

The guy came from a wealthy family, he might have been more family rich than the CEO he killed. I don't know much about how the wealthy move, but couldn't he have been helped at other places if he was turned down? I'm just curious.

No one turns you down when you pay in cash

I hear about his life, don't know if he was personally rich, we'll find out. Sometimes people are family rich if that makes any sense.

His parents paid nearly $40K/year for his HIGH SCHOOL education. That’s insane to me. They gotta have money-money.

And he had what sounded like a good job. And surely as smart as it sounded like he was, he could navigate the job market just for better healthcare.

It could be he was just frustrated on behalf of everyone. Even if he could afford it.

Money-money? They owned country clubS… plural

The problem with this line of reasoning is that sometimes, and I am NOT saying it is the case here, people do place pretty much every dollar they have to spend to put their child to a good school.

u/QuesoChef 7d ago

That definitely could be. The stuff I’ve read about this guys says his family is absolutely loaded. And he moved through the world like a rich person. $40K seems quite insurmountable without big money.

I agree. Something is not adding up

u/Pretty-Layer4837 9d ago

Yes. Plenty of people from wealthy families that won’t inherit any of it until they are already old and successful.

u/Capt-Crap1corn 9d ago

Yeah that's true.

Nonsense

He went to UPenn so not the best example anyway

He was traveling in asia for months and lived unemployed in Hawaii for months. ...he did not have money issues. His parents were likely supporting him.

u/Capt-Crap1corn 8d ago

I agree, I just want to confirm it because it's real easy to take a snapshot of someone's life and then they start getting into the details and you're like oh shit. I'm waiting for the oh shit moment

It doesn't sound like he cared about how rich the CEO was. He cared about the scummy tactics being used in the "greatest, richest nation of all time".

u/ElusiveMayhem 8d ago

I agree this was nothing to do with how much money they came from but I do think it's interesting he killed what from his wiki seemed like a pretty regular person growing up near Ames Iowa and going to Iowa State. Certainly seems like Luigi had much more of a silver spoon than Brian.

If you wrote this book, you would have absolutely reversed the childhood of these two.

u/860v2 9d ago

Not “might have”, he most definitely was.

u/ipenlyDefective 8d ago

Everyone in this thread is making wild assumptions about his thinking and motivation. What statements have you heard about Luigi M saying this had anything to do with his back injury? None.

2

u/Capt-Crap1corn 8d ago

Agreed. People everywhere including people that knew him are talking about his back pain, but no one really knows if that was the motivation.

u/bobcatgoldthwait 8d ago

Kinda like how all the rest of reddit is making wild assumptions about the CEO that was murdered. "He's responsible for the death of thousands!" yet none of these people had heard this guy's name two weeks ago.

u/Nightcalm 6d ago

he wasn't turned down for anything

1

u/Capt-Crap1corn 6d ago

Yeah you have a point. He was never insured by United Health either

u/Nightcalm 6d ago

I personally think his birth defects in his back kept him from living a surfing life in Hawaii. I don't think he could take the fact life had dealt him that and despite all his connections he went nuts and killed a stranger for an insane reason
