United Healthcare Shooter Arrested

[GURPS]

For a long time, after any act of mass violence the debate always turned to gun control and the influence of video games. Games like 'Grand Theft Auto' and 'Call of Duty' drove people to shoot and murder others.

It was -- and remains -- a stupid, garbage argument.

Which is why it's a) amazing to see it making a comeback in the wake of the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and b) hilarious because of the video game being called into question this time.

First, we're going to start with a screencap of The New York Post headline because it sets the stage:

An assassin video game? Sounds scary! Definitely a game that's rated M for mature, right?

Right?

Wrong:

The Democratic Party has a new hero: alleged CEO murderer Luigi Mangione.

UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was gunned down by Mangione on the streets of New York City and since that day not an insignificant number of Leftists have come out to defend Mangione's actions including AOC (who called denying health insurance claims an 'act of violence'), Elizabeth Warren said people can only be 'pushed so far', and the panel of 'The View' said Mangione's actions show people are fed up with healthcare.

Now Bernie Sanders has joined that club:

Keyword is 'but' in any argument..I just smile and walk away when the 'but' word is used.
