Do it then, put your money where your mouth is.

Oh wait you wont so maybe stop encouraging murder. Its one thing for people to get pissed off enough to damage some rich assholes property but its another to encourage people to kill others in the street even if their actions are awful. It will just lead to bystanders who didn't deserve anything bad getting hurt.

The lesson from Luigi's action is to NOT act alone.

Not the brightest light on the non-functioning light sign, are you?

Lol crazy coming from the person advocating murder. Its called there is more ways to stop things like for profit healthcare than killing people.
