I was about to ask what nimrod is downvoting each post here... until I got to this

Nathan Freudenthal Leopold Jr. (November 19, 1904 – August 29, 1971) and Richard Albert Loeb (/June 11, 1905 – January 28, 1936), together known as Leopold and Loeb, were two American murderers who kidnapped and killed 14-year-old Bobby Franks in Chicago, Illinois, United States, on May 21, 1924.

Leopold and Loeb, both students at the University of Chicago, were respectively aged 19 and 18 and were engaged in a relationship at the time of their crime. They committed the murder – characterized at the time as "the crime of the century" – hoping to demonstrate superior intellect, which they believed enabled and entitled them to carry out a "perfect crime" without consequences.

Thrill Me: The Leopold & Loeb Story is a musical with a book, music, and lyrics by Stephen Dolginoff. It is based on the true story of Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, the so-called "thrill killers" who murdered a young boy in 1924 in order to commit "the perfect crime." The story is told in flashbacks, beginning with a 1958 parole hearing.

by Klark Kentpersonally I am shocked that TBoy is in here defending a play about one of the Left’s darlings.

The left’s darlings???? The left get most everything for free because they refuse to work. Luigi was a hero for most actual working people, and that certainly isn’t leftists. Can you imagine how many working class families had their lives and finances ruined forever because they or their children had the audacity to get sick or injured? UNH is a cancer. You cannot call yourself a child of God and support anything about that company. That ceo was pure, unadulterated evil incarnate and whatever Luigi’s motives and whatever his political leanings were are irrelevant. The outcome was a huge victory for working class families everywhere that deserve affordable healthcare and to actually have a future despite an illness or injury. Anyone that supports UNH or that scum ceo is either an incredible fricking dumbass or absolute evil. He got precisely what he deserved. Actually, he deserved far worse.

So your position is that he deserved to be murdered? That his wife should lose a husband and his kids should lose their father? Since when did random internet commentators and Luigi get promoted to judge, jury, and executioner? Celebrating a killing as a “victory” is a pretty grotesque take….something generally
isolated to weirdo lefty’s from Reddit.

Eh, maybe whoever wrote that will have a kid or spouse get sick and have their life ruined despite paying obscene premiums every month. Would be poetic honestly

Sorry for his kid I guess. The wife knew what she was marrying so frick her too. She benefitted from his ghoulishness and she knew all about it. I’m sure she got a payout from his life insurance so she’s probably happy. Evil seeks out evil, I doubt she cared if he was alive or dead as long that money is still there. I don’t know why you guys care about the tool that did the job or their political beliefs. From a purely pragmatic standpoint it’s irrelevant. Some good was done that day. And by the way, it effected some other policy decisions shortly thereafter for the better sound say again, all in all it was a huge victory for working people of every stripe

Considering some of Greek tragedies that have been portrayed this seems a little much.

Maybe we can give this “musical” as little promotion as possible imo. It’s a stupid idea

Yeah im sure you would frick face. Give me a fricking break. Most of you are so fricking fat and your lipid profiles are so goddamn bad you’re likely on the border if having a heart attack just typing your fake tough guy shite. So your wife and kid matter but the ones tortured by that ceo don’t, got it. You’re a real beacon of ethics you piece of subhuman shite

address me directly if you’re going to talk shite, bitch. And I have a wife and 2 children. I’ll slap you around if you mention them again.

Considering this is a thread about making some stupid arse show in a bar for Luigi Mangione of all people… is it worth it?

This is the dumbest idea ever. No reason to get this mad over a troll
