I don’t really celebrate murder, but I’m certainly not gonna mourn the loss of someone responsible for many preventable deaths bcz they wanted a bigger paycheck.

Completely agree, but lots of folks here are cheering for what amounts to cartel style street assassination.

What makes it “cartel style?”
SoyTDI@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Not killing the right people, you know, the poor 😉.

Brazen broad daylight, professional, targeted.

I think the latter is fine, but there’s lots of active celebration going on.
masterspace@lemmy.ca 3 months ago
Understandably. I’m emotionally removed from the situation enough to know that I shouldn’t actively celebrate, if I knew a loved one who’s medical care was denied by a for profit health insurer or if I had to waste my life fighting with them for basic care, then I’m sure I would be actively celebrating too.

I wouldn’t go that far but I do block users that post this shit.

It’s the irony that people complain about Reddit being full of hate and one of the reasons they left, and yet Lemmy is full of shit like this.
masterspace@lemmy.ca 3 months ago
We left Reddit because it was a corporate captured shit show that killed the only nice apps for interacting with it. We didn’t leave because they were too mean to health insurance executives.
ccunning@lemmy.world 3 months ago
I thought it was because /u/spez is a piece of shit?
bilb@lem.monster 3 months ago
From what I can tell, that’s not unique to the lemmy network.
I guess being loathed and having an indifferent at best reaction to your murder is one potential negative consequence of participating in an industry that that devalues human life in exchange for profit as a matter of course.

Turns out that looting millions of people’s healthcare for profit and ruining a large subset of their lives doesn’t garner you any sympathy. Crazy how that works.
Jackthelad@lemmy.world 3 months ago
You don’t have to like the guy or his job to think that he shouldn’t be gunned down in the fucking street.
Liome@pawb.social 3 months ago
American justice system clearly showed it’s incapable. It’s either street justice or injustice.
Is it ok?
No.
But neither is the alternative.
Ledivin@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Miss me with this bullshit. Bad people deserve bad endings, and he got what he deserved.
If our laws and justice system ever decide to start working for anyone except the rich, then maybe I’ll start giving a fuck about them. I’m sure Trump and Elon will get right on that.
boredtortoise@lemm.ee 3 months ago
A civilian shouldn’t have to resort to this because of society’s failure to bring less violent justice.
Tinidril@midwest.social 3 months ago
Where should he have been gunned down then? The footage was pretty good, but better lighting and sound would be nice.
Getting gunned down is exactly what should happen to mass murderers. That is exactly what this guy was. When the system fails as consistently as ours has, people are going to take care of justice themselves. The fact that it hasn’t happened at scale is the result of remarkable restraint on the part of the working class.
This isn’t a Lemmy thing. This response has been nearly universal in every space where public comments can be found.

It’s pretty wild how little empathy humanity has as a whole. The discourse on Lemmy around this murder has been a little disturbing. The man had children.
Womble@lemmy.world 3 months ago
As did the many of the thousands of people who died from being denied treatment in order to push his wage packet up another million dollars. Some of them were children themselves.
OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 3 months ago
And I’m sure a lot of the people he denied health care to had children too.
masterspace@lemmy.ca 3 months ago
Quite frankly, executives of health care companies continually make money by denying medical coverage to people with children and letting them agonizingly die.
I’m not on here celebrating his death for the sole reason that I think it’s just as likely this corporate espionage / assassination for money, but if it is a normal person shooting a health insurance executive for denying a loved ones coverage it’s hard to imagine how the executive didn’t deserve it.
You don’t get to be separated from the morality of your actions, just because you use neutral sounding business language to describe how you’re fucking over and killing people for personal profit.
Ledivin@lemmy.world 3 months ago
The man also built a company that refused to provide anti-vomit meds to children on chemo. “Think of the children,” they demanded, while thinking of literally no children but their own.
mcpoops@lemmy.world 3 months ago
This is the definition of keyhole compassion. You feel more for the monster who made millions off denying medical care to people, stealing their money, and laughing all the way to the bank rather than the people he deliberately let die.
Your take is disgusting. The executive class should be living in constant fear after all the crimes they have committed to the working class, poor, colonized, enslaved, and otherwise marginalized people.
