The person they have in custody didn’t do it.

The person who did it is a hero.

The idea of shooting health insurance CEOs dead is heroic. Luigi is the current godwalker of the archetype, to borrow from old rpg Unknown Armies. (Godwalker being the best living representation, subject to the collective beliefs of humanity). It doesn't really matter if he did it or not. The idea is there.

Do Republicans not understand like metaphors and shit, or do you have a home aid that should be coming by to log you off momentarily?

It's cruel how unfortunately real is this.

There are thousands of others

I feel like you're underestimating the number of bullets in the world.

It's not murder until there is a conviction.

UHC approved so many insurance claims after the CEO got offed that they are currently being sued by their shareholders for failing to reject enough claims and potentially hurting shareholder revenue streams.

I'd say it turned into a pretty positive act.

Yes murder is bad.

It also seems like the only message the owners receive.

Killing 100s of thousands if not millions of people by denying them healthcare is infinitely worse and Brian Thompson and all these other fucks were active participants in that. They set the policy the rest of their companies follow. Murdering every single one of them is a net good for the world and is the only option left since our fucking useless politicians aren't doing anything about it.

Go read A Time to Kill, or watch the movie.

It's only ok when you put a few layers of indirection between your barbaric acts and the brutal consequences of your actions. Pedo Capitalists Unite!

With how aggressively they're destroying the planet and the poor, at a certain point, putting a stop to them becomes an act of self defense.

The lack of universal health care in the US accounts for an estimated annual death increase well north of one hundred thousand people. It's the oligarchs who are behind that push against it.

Wake me up when you get angry at the people corrupting our democracy and maybe i'll listen to your complaints. Until then, pardon me for supporting action against the people fucking our country.

I don't celebrate the murder of a United Healthcare CEO, whom by the way denied more Healthcare claims than any other insurance company in the world (by a decent margin). But I sure as hell don't feel sorry for the guy.

His policies can be directly tied to thousands of cases where people who needed life saving treatment, died so they could save a few bucks.

But yeah, sit up on your high horse and feel superior to everybody else. You're lucky you haven't had to experience a health crisis that could potentially determine whether you live or die, or have a job.

Dude you sympathise with Brian Thompson? The guy responsible for letting paying members die horrifically painful deaths for profit? Do you not see how hateful, stupid and barbaric that makes YOU? Reflect on yourself.

Brian Thompson, through his words and actions, caused the deaths of thousands of people

I'm not taking a stance on the moraloty of his murder, but is it even a tiny bit surprising people believe he deserved it given that fact?

Murder via a pen may generally be tolerated by society, but that isn't universal

How quaint of you to have the illusion of civility in this post-pandemic world. Get off your fake morale high horse and go back to watching fox

While you sit on your moral high ground, people like that ex-alive cunt CEO get paid to murder people.

Hateful, stupid, and barbaric insurance industry

FTFY

Yeah, it's hateful and barbaric, but not stupid, and it's what anyone who is barbaric and hateful deserves; I believe in radical proportionality, thus what you give is what you deserve to receive back, exactly, no more and no less (if you give someone five punches in the face with a given force, you deserve exactly five punches in the face with an amount of force proportional to your resistance). You can't expect a damn serial killer protected by millions of dollars in total assets and the title of CEO to receive flowers. And proportionally to his crime, a simple stay in jail is equivalent to giving him a bed of roses.

So, if you hate others with no reason and kill others with no reason, you deserve to be hated and killed because you're giving reasons for that.

Won’t someone think of the poor billionaire CEOs?

They can’t afford yachts if they give the people the health care they paid for.

I bet you'd love the guy who killed Hitler.

(we can smell the conservative from here)

You're either a bot, a shill, or amazingly stupid.

If there's one thing Republicans have taught me, it's that I really need to give less of a fuck about other people's problems, and spend more time gleeful at their misfortune.

So, re dead CEOs: hahahahaha
