According to the Left, the death penalty is unfair, unjust, immoral, and evil.
 Unless you have the opportunity to walk up to a rich guy you
don't like on the sidewalk and shoot him in the back. The
only form of the death penalty that's okay for the Left is
the form that doesn't include a judge, jury, or court, and
where the executed person has not been charged with, convicted of, or even accused of any specific crime.
 This is the actual position of millions of leftists in this country. Not a straw man. It's what they believe.

 Why do you presume Mangione's fandom is "leftist" exclusively?

 Because you leftist types love anything that can be portrayed as
a blow against capitalism and assassinating a CEO absolutely
SCREAMS "Down with Capitalism!"

 Umm... why doesn't it absolutely SCREAM "Fuck our health-system!"?
 

If you don't like the health system, you should be changing the
health system, NOT killing executives from that system. But the Far
Left LOVES the whole notion of destroying the existing system -
"burning it all down" - with only an implied claim that something
better will come along to replace it - eventually - and then failing
to deliver.

The question is why you'd assume Mangione anti-capitalist ...when his most salient role is as a health-insurance CEO, not as a Wall St. mogul.
