The attack on the 50-year-old executive—allegedly by the now 27-year-old Luigi Mangione—immediately sparked an outpouring of public fury not at the gunman, but at UnitedHealthcare itself.

And I am a proud believer that he is innocent, that police officer absolutely planted a gun in his backpack, with their body camera off.

I don’t see the benefit to the rich of letting the real killer go free

That's because you don't appear to understand what this is about.

This ain't about the killer, this is about sending a message to the plebs. Attack on one of their own will result in owner class using full power of the state. They are letting us know they are in charge, public opinion is making them uncomfortable and they are acting erratic. At this point I am assuming that the police botched the evidence spooks collected for them.

That requires having the real killer.

If they dont't, pinning the whole thing on an innocent guy and making a sbow out of how they crack down on him absolutely makes sense, in the evil machiavellian way that it is.

The goal is to discourage more people from doing it because they know that they are weaker than even a small set of the population organizing a resistance against them.

Authoritarians, and you have to be one to be capitalist, live in constant fear of the ordinary people and they will keep escalating violence as they fear dissent to grow.
