  Absolutely insane that people are saying stuff like this unironically. Online echo chambers rot peoples brains.

    Echo chambers? This has been the most uniting event of the year: I’ve seen conservatives, liberals ancaps and tankies all share the same opinion for the first time ever. This guy made millions by denying healthcare to people that had rightful claims and he got what he deserved.

      Everyone loves a good FAFO moment, particularly when it happens to the type of people who regularly FA and rarely FO.

        The FO part is usually only for us poors. Nice to see it trickle upwards.

    OR they actually dislike the CEO and don’t feel bad about seeing the cumuppance of someone who’s decisions while performing their role has caused an increase in suffering and death.

    You don’t need a gun in your hands to bring death and suffering to those around you. Sometimes all it takes is a pen, callous disregard for others and a desire for self enrichment.

      …you do know that it’s possible to dislike someone without justifying murder, right?

        Of course I do. You know it’s possible to justify murder without having a personal dislike of the person?

        I’m against institutionalized violence, but I can get behind a victim seeking retribution. The rule of law is not applied evenly, as you can plainly see with the manhunt for this shooting victim vs countless others. Because of that, I don’t pretend to be a believer in letting the justice system handle the dispensation of justice solely.

        Maybe you should stop viewing it as a murder and start seeing it as mob justice. That wouldn’t have to happen if our institutionalized justice system functioned correctly.

        Murder is hardly ever justified but excuse me if I have no sympathy for this absolute shitbag of a person. In the unlikely event that I learn the whereabouts of the killer, I will certainly not say anything. It’s about time the people who fuck around the most begin to find out.

    Late stage capitalism rots everything even faster.
