if a company put obscene profits before my treatment and I'm slowly dying in pain and fear then so are the ghouls who decided that money was more important than my treatment.

What have I got to lose?
Prison, I'll be dead before that happens.
Death sentence? I've already got one, thanks.
Damnation in hell? If there is a god and heaven then I'm pretty sure I'd be going up there if I take out a few billionaires. I have nothing to lose, they have everything.

    I can only assume most of these people have spouses and kids, because that thought goes through my head too, or we'd definitely see more terminal vigilantism.

    And most people can sympathize with the low level workers at the actual physical location, while the ceo and others at the top aren't necessarily easy to track and find.

    I'd be curious to hear what the 'acceptable targets' are from people who casually talk about what they would do if they were in the situation described. I know I would hesitate at every single one. It's too easy to imagine how someone has been fucked over by our society's system, and the pain it will cause for them to die. Doesn't even matter if it's a rich fuck bastard like the asshole with two kids and an estranged wife that was popped the first time uhc got its teetee slapped.
