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

Yes, of course he must be prosecuted if he can be found. As a member of the general population I feel as though it’s possible that a jury wouldn’t convict him and could even find him not guilty. Then he is a free man.
Until his identity is known I shall call him Attaboy Goodman, and if a jury were to convene with me on it, I would be unlikely to take seriously any claim by the state that this vigilantism is somehow more destructive of public order than police murdering and robbing people while ignoring wage theft and corporate crimes.

Agreed. If we don’t keep some sort of semblance to govern, others will take violence in their own hands for every other thing possible.
