About the same time the #FreeLuigi memes featuring the mustachioed plumber from “Super Mario Brothers” mushroomed online, commenters shared memes showing Tony Soprano pronouncing Luigi Mangione , the man charged with murdering the UnitedHealthcare CEO in Manhattan , a hero. There were posts lionizing Mangione’s physique and appearance, the ones speculating about who could play him on “Saturday Night Live,” and the ones denouncing and even threatening people at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s for spotting him and calling police. It was all too much for Pennsylvania's governor, a rising Democrat who was nearly the vice presidential nominee this year. Josh Shapiro — dealing with a case somewhere else that happened to land in his lap — decried what he saw as growing support for “vigilante justice.” The curious case of Brian Thompson and Luigi Mangione captivated and polarized a media-saturated nation. It also offers a glimpse into how, in a connected world, so many different aspects of modern American life can be surreally linked — from public violence to politics, from health care to humor (or attempts at it) . It summons a question, too: How can so many people consider someone a hero when the rules that govern American society — the laws — are treating him as the complete opposite? Luigi Mangione, a suspect in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, on Monday at the police station in Altoona, Pa. Writings found in Mangione's possession hinted at a vague hatred of corporate greed and an expression of anger toward “parasitic” health insurance companies. Bullets recovered from the crime scene had the words “deny,” “defend” and “depose,” reflecting words used by insurance industry critics, written on them. A number of online posts combine an apparent disdain for health insurers — with no mention of the loss of life. “He took action against private health insurance corporations is what he did. he was a brave italian martyr. in this house, luigi mangione is a hero, end of story!” one anonymous person said in a post on X that has nearly 2 million views. On Monday, Shapiro took issue with comments like those. It was an extraordinary moment that he tumbled into simply because Mangione was apprehended in Pennsylvania. Shapiro's comments — pointed, impassioned and, inevitably, political — yanked the conversation unfolding on so many people's phone screens into real life. “We do not kill people in cold blood to resolve policy differences or express a viewpoint,” the governor said. “In a civil society, we are all less safe when ideologues engage in vigilante justice.” But to hear some of his fellow citizens tell it, that's not the case at all. Like Bonnie and Clyde, John Dillinger, D.B. Cooper and other notorious names from the American past, Mangione is being cast as someone to admire. Luigi Nicholas Mangione is escorted into Blair County Courthouse on Tuesday in Hollidaysburg, Pa. Regina Bateson, an assistant political science professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder, has studied vigilantism, the term to which Shapiro alluded. She doesn’t see this case as a good fit for the word, she says, because the victim wasn’t linked to any specific crime or offense. As she sees it, it's more akin to domestic terrorism. But Bateson views the threats against election workers , prosecutors and judges ticking up — plus the assassination attempts against President-elect Donald Trump this past summer — as possible signs that personal grievances or political agendas could erupt. “Americans are voicing more support for — or at least understanding of — political violence,” she said. Shapiro praised the police and the people of Blair County, who abided by a 9/11-era dictum of seeing something and saying something. The commenters have Mangione wrong, the governor said: “Hear me on this: He is no hero. The real hero in this story is the person who called 911 at McDonald’s this morning." A person demonstrates Monday near the McDonald's restaurant in Altoona, Pennsylvania, where police earlier in the day arrested Luigi Nicholas Mangione, 26, in the Dec. 4 killing of UnitedHealthcare's CEO in Manhattan. Even shy of supporting violence, there are many instances of people who vent over how health insurers deny claims. Tim Anderson's wife, Mary, dealt with UnitedHealthcare coverage denials before she died from Lou Gehrig’s disease in 2022. “The business model for insurance is don’t pay,” Anderson, 67, of Centerville, Ohio, told The Associated Press . The discourse around the killing and Mangione is more than just memes. Conversations about the interconnectedness of various parts of American life are unfolding online as well. One Reddit user said he was banned for three days for supporting Kyle Rittenhouse, who was acquitted after testifying he acted in self-defense when he fatally shot two people in 2020 during protests. “Do you think people are getting banned for supporting Luigi?” the poster wondered. The comments cover a lot of ground. They include people saying the UnitedHealthcare slaying isn't a “right or left issue" and wondering what it would take to get knocked off the platform. “You probably just have to cross the line over into promoting violence,” one commenter wrote. “Not just laughing about how you don’t care about this guy.” Luigi Mangione is taken into the Blair County Courthouse on Tuesday in Hollidaysburg, Pa. Memes and online posts in support of the 26-year-old man, who's charged with killing UnitedHealthcare's CEO, have mushroomed online.

Bayern Munich fans protest against PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi MUNICH (AP) — Bayern Munich fans protested against Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi during the teams’ Champions League match on Tuesday. Canadian Press Nov 26, 2024 2:26 PM Share by Email Share on Facebook Share on X Share on LinkedIn Print Share via Text Message PSG's Bradley Barcola heads the ball during the Champions League opening phase soccer match between FC Bayern and Paris Saint Germain, at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, Tuesday, Nov. 26, 2024.(AP Photo/Matthias Schrader) MUNICH (AP) — Bayern Munich fans protested against Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi during the teams’ Champions League match on Tuesday. The supporters held up several banners making clear their opposition to the Qatari businessman during the first half of Bayern's 1-0 win. One banner showed Al-Khelaifi’s face with a line over it, another accused him of being “plutocratic” with an expletive, and more banners read: “Minister, club owner, TV rights holder, UEFA ExCo member & ECA chairman all in one?” The 51-year-old Al-Khelaifi is unpopular among the Bayern fans for his influence on European soccer as chairman of the European Club Association, Qatar Sports Investments — the owner of PSG — and the Qatari state-owned BeIN media group. Bayern fans had long protested against their own club’s sponsorship deals with Qatar, which was accused of human rights abuses before it hosted the 2022 World Cup. The fans eventually got their way last year when Bayern’s long-running sponsorship deal with Qatar Airways was not renewed. The Sueddeutsche Zeitung newspaper reported at the time that the decision came from Qatar, whose emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani , was unhappy with the Bayern fans’ constant criticism and the club’s failure to distance itself from their protests. Kim Min-jae’s first-half header was enough for Bayern's victory, its seventh straight without conceding across all competitions. PSG forward Ousmane Dembelé was sent off early in the second half. ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer The Associated Press See a typo/mistake? Have a story/tip?

Over decades, the entrepreneur has feuded with business partners, investors and regulators as he built an empire that’s made him Mexico’s third-richest person. But even for Salinas, the current financial predicament is dire — and also a little odd. Ricardo Salinas Pliego is in a financial predicament. Credit: Bloomberg That’s because the bulk of his $US10.5 billion ($16.3 billion) wealth is tied up in a company, Grupo Elektra, that is poised to plunge in value as soon as it begins trading again on the Mexican stock exchange. This is where things get weird. Officials have been trying for days to lift the halt on the stock that was imposed in July, only to give up once buy orders hit trading screens in the pre-market auction. The problem: the bids are so shockingly low, coming in at less than 50 per cent of the stock’s value in July, that the market circuit breaker designed to limit volatility is immediately tripped, and the stock is halted again without a single transaction taking place. So for official bookkeeping reasons, Elektra’s shares are still worth the same 944.95 pesos they were quoted at on July 26, and Salinas’ wealth remains, precariously for now, intact. The cause of the initial ban was, like many things involving Salinas, a bit mysterious. Salinas himself had triggered the trading halt in July when he alleged a creditor had used the company shares to fund a $US110 million loan. Loading Lawyers for the billionaire said most of the shares appeared to have been sold, pushing the stock price down — with the rest allegedly pocketed by the creditor. The creditor has denied any wrongdoing. Index suspension What followed the allegations of fraud was easier to understand — after a month of no trading, Elektra got booted from the country’s main stock gauge, leaving it without the crucial support of index-tracking funds needed to support the share price. Which is why traders have been lobbing in such lowball bids when the exchange tried to restart trading.{ "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "NewsArticle", "dateCreated": "2024-11-27T00:57:13+02:00", "datePublished": "2024-11-27T00:57:13+02:00", "dateModified": "2024-11-27T00:57:12+02:00", "url": "https://www.newtimes.co.rw/article/22139/sports/football/have-robertinhos-rayon-proven-their-title-credentials-yet", "headline": "Have Robertinho’s Rayon proven their title credentials yet?", "description": "We are not afraid of any team currently, we are in top form, if you bring Real Madrid, we can play against them.

These were the words of Rayon Sports head coach Robertinho Oliveira after his team thrashed traditional rivals Kiyovu Sports 4-0 in a Rwanda Premier League week 8 game This is a clear assertion by a coach who is full of confidence and who believes in what his charges can do. ALSO READ: Iragire nets late equalizer as 10-man Amagaju upset Rayon Sports Second comings are always dangerous especially in football. Jo Bonfrere's second coming to coach Nigeria ended in a mess, Bukhard Ziese and Kwesi Appiah were not successful in their second spells coaching Ghana, even at club level, Jose Mourinho's second stint at Chelsea didn't end well. Several others can be mentioned as examples. ALSO READ: Bbaale's second half strike powers Rayon at the top For the case of Rayon Sports, few people gave Robertinho the chance to have a good start in his second spell at the club. This is a league which has, for over the past half-decade been dominated by the Blues’ closest rivals APR FC. The last time Rayon won the title was during the 2018/2019 season when the Brazilian coach was at the helm. Robertinho’s first stint at Rayon, which dates back June 19, 2018, was a great one, one that brought history to the club where he propelled them to the CAF Confederation Cup quarter finals. After leaving Rayon, Robertinho coached Gor Mahia, Vipers and Simba before returning to the Blues in June this year. He made history by qualifying Vipers to the Group stages of the CAF Champions League for the first time in their history in 2022. Rayon, prior to re-appointing their former coach in July, had been far from convincing in the domestic league since his departure. They finished as runners-up in the 2019-2020 season, 4th in the 2021-season, 3rd in the 2022/23 season, and again runners-up in the 2023/24 season. The run has been nothing but a total disappointment which has visibly felt by supporters who often voiced their frustration, calling for club management to step down as long as they can’t deliver the title which APR have won during the past five straight seasons. It is early days of the 2024/25 season yet but there seems to be light at the end of the tunnel. Rayon started the season with two consecutive draws against minnows Marines and Amagaju. Many people raised question marks about Robertinho's tactics but he quickly bounced back and got the team up and running, winning 7 games in a row. Robertinho’s side now sits at the top of the league table with 23 points from the 9 games they have played. Some of the Rayon Sports players are already brimming with confidence and they are optimistic they have what it takes to win the league title. It is possible we can win the league. We are on course and we have to continue winning our games, Hadji Iraguha told the press after scoring twice in their 4-0 win over Kiyovu. What has worked for Robertinho so far? Rayon's attack marshaled around Senegalese striker Fall Ngagne is on fire, the lanky forward has netted four goals so far in 10 games for the Blues. Fall is so dynamic and, though he plays number 9 role on paper, he commutes between 9 and 10. This gives skipper Kevin Muhire a free role to operate. Muhire has provided a whopping 6 assists in 9 games so far this season. Again, Rayon's acquisition of Richard Ndayishimiye has been a plus for the team; he is a box-to-box midfielder full of energy and he perfectly gets the defensive duties in midfield. Moreover, the partnership between defensive partners Youssou Diagne and Aimable Nsabimana, which struggled in the first two games, is finally clicking. Now, the duo plays with so much telepathic understanding and they complement the work of each other. Will Robertinho pass APR test? Despite Rayon's bright start to the league, which has seen them winning 7 games and drawing twice in 9 games, people still feel they haven't faced their biggest test yet. The Blues have a rescheduled match day 3 league game with defending champions APR at Amahoro Stadium on December 7 and this game will be the major litmus test for Robertinho to show his title winning credentials. Games between the two teams can make and unmake a coach and Robertinho is fully aware of that. You either become a hero or a villain in games between Rayon and APR as a coach. Robertinho played APR twice in the league games during his first stint in 2018. On December 12, 2018, he lost 2-1 at the hands of APR despite playing with a man down. When the two teams met in the return round on April 4, 2019, Rayon Sports the army side 1-0 courtesy of a late Michael Sarpong penalty. At least, Robertinho knows the atmosphere of the derby games and what it entails in Rwandans. This game will prove whether he is really in to wrestle the title from APR or he is just flattering to deceive. In the nutshell, credit must be given to Robertinho though it is early days yet. He has at least built a winsome team at Rayon in just some few months since he arrived.", "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Edmund Okai Gyimah" }, "publisher": { "@type": "Organization", "name": "The New Times", "url": "https://www.newtimes.co.rw/", "sameAs": ["https://www.facebook.com/TheNewTimesRwanda/","https://twitter.com/NewTimesRwanda","https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuZbZj6DF9zWXpdZVceDZkg"], "logo": { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "/theme_newtimes/images/logo.png", "width": 270, "height": 57 } }, "copyrightHolder": { "@type": "Organization", "name": "The New Times", "url": "https://www.newtimes.co.rw/" } }
