Luigi's Manifesto
- johnea 2y agoWhile the outrage over murder has been generally directed at the shooter, it is worth pointing out that denial of healthcare also leads to deaths. I'm surprized that this specific point isn't made in his manifesto.
- NetOpWibby 2y agoPublic discourse has made this point time and time again. Maybe he felt it didn't bear repeating? Or maybe the point was made via his actions.
- kelipso 2y agoThat point is obvious from reading the manifesto. And that point has been elaborated many many times for decades from news articles to academic publications to film media, so why repeat the details in the manifesto.

- whateveracct 2y ago> My queries to The New York Times, CNN and ABC to explain their rationale for withholding the manifesto, while gladly quoting from it selectively, have not been answered. I mean..often mass shooters' manifestos aren't circulated because that was their goal after all. It feels like it's standard practice to take care with such things?
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 2y agoFreedom of speech? I believe in the freedom to hear. I have a right to hear what this man is saying, no?
- 15155 2y agoSure, that doesn't mean a commercial entity is required to convey what he is saying.
- MrHamburger 2y agoThen they should not be quoting from it at all if they are not going to release it in its entirety as without context quote can have completely different meaning.
- cool_dude85 2y agoBut that's not true. Dorner's manifesto, Breivik's manifesto, the Charleston shooter's manifesto are all broadly available, I believe through mainstream media. Heck, there's a purported review this guy posted on goodreads for the Unabomber's manifesto floating around.
- whateveracct 2y agoThey weren't released like immediately though. Or at least some weren't I know. Because it's frowned upon. It's not because the MSM has some conspiracy against this guy (which OP does insinuate.)
- WorkerBee28474 2y agoI wonder what the effect on quality-adjusted life years [0] is from the shooting. -30 for the shooter, but how many positive from improved health insurance policies? Probably thousands. Perhaps someone will figure that out and publish a journal article called "Decreasing all-cause mortality through hyper-local plumboid injection". [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quality-adjusted_life_year https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quality-adjusted_life_year
- OmarShehata 2y ago> but how many positive from improved health insurance policies? Probably thousands how did you come to this conclusion? what if it actually gets _worse_? What if the media attention blows over, the good or neutral actors end up eating the blame, some savvy corporations/politicians with skilled PR end up using the public anger to enrich themselves & make things worse for the public, and people still don't understand why the system isn't working? I haven't seen any good information on what actually is the root cause and what are the solutions that will fix everything. I don't think this is a matter of greedy people blocking easy/obvious solutions.
- exe34 2y agoit has brought to the attention of CEOs the fact that even though the individual shooter might be apprehended, the CEOs who push too far over the line might not make it home from their next shareholders meeting.
- ahofmann 2y agoI think this is a unlikely outcome. The CEOs will hire more personal security and the company will pay for it. The job of a CEO is to maximize profit of the company, this is written in their contracts. So this is what they will do.
- kelipso 2y agoThey are not robots and they are not following an algorithm. They have plenty of flexibility and creativity to maximize shareholder value.

- voisin 2y agoI am interested to know why he fled at all.
- SwiftyBug 2y agoMaybe he knew that it would keep the event in the news longer?

- voisin 2y agoWhy is this flagged?
- disqard 2y agoLots of future unicorn CEOs on here? I mean "temporarily embarrassed billionaires".
- jfengel 2y agoMy tech is pretty locked down because I work in engineering so probably not much info there. I wonder if he's right about that. I'm a professional developer and I have little faith that I can lock down everything. Not against a determined adversary, much less one with whatever special semi-legal voodoo the FBI has.
