  On a personal level, yeah it’s got to be a shock. On the other hand they profited off of the suffering of others. My empathy is limited.

    Right. The situation could directly correlate. The guy responsible for limiting access to physical and mental healthcare for millions was shot. He’s fucking will millions of physically and mentally ill people. Granted, this is the most extreme repercussion for his actions.

      He didn’t suffer as much as the pain he’s inflicted upon others. He also didn’t bankrupt his family in the process.

      I can’t say this is the way I want society to run … but quite frankly I think we’re all sick of pretending that killing someone with a pen is any different than killing someone with a gun.

    Limited empathy is totally fine. Cheering for assassinations is a different thing ( not saying you did).

    I wish the systems this dude profited from were changed. This guy will just be replaced, and the next one will have a security detail ($$$)

      I dunno, I think this might really rattle a few people. It’s one thing to talk about social consequences like not being invited to garden parties or whatever, another entirely to be potentially killed.

  I doubt they lost any sleep knowing their dad killed thousands by denying them coverage. Why would i lose sleep for them? Hell, they are probably looking at a juicy life insurance payout, which is more than any of us will get when United kills our loved ones.

    I don’t know but mabe his life insurance will deny it, given he had the pre-condition of being a shitbag CEO.

      They should be fair to him, and roll percentile dice. If it rolls below a 33, the claim gets denied. You know, like UHC does with their “customers”

    It might get denied due to it being terrorism

  I feel for the people who loved him. Not convinced he loved anyone but himself though

  Are they going to donate all of his ill-gotten gains to a healthcare charity?

  Well put.
