Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted?

  Morality is subjective, no real system can truly decide what is evil. But in this case we’re talking about, it’s pretty clear cut that the CEO was a willful threat to the health of millions. This isn’t some abstract slippery slope of dubious vigilantism, might as well be claiming that the assassination attempts on Hitler were a gateway to Mad Max dystopia.

    What makes an act evil or not is a really complicated question unless the action in question is mass murder. In that case, there isn’t a debate, it is evil, there is no slipper slope. The CEO undeniably caused the deaths of countless people and maimed and permanently hurt many more. At least the person who killed the CEO actually carried out the act of taking someone’s life themselves, undertaking the action and witnessing it. The healthcare CEO on the other hand was the most cowardly kind of murderer.
