  Its called an execution, not a murder. A murder is a crime.

    This was murder. It was a crime.

      Seems like most people recognize it was a justified execution of a criminal.

      Can’t murder a cockroach. Or a mosquito. Or a leach, or a bedbug, or a flea. You exterminate those.

        We’re talking about a human being.

  Except that’s false because he did not murder anyone (that we know of). Be angry at the system and the government allowing it to exist not the ones using it as intended. Much of what I see here is jealousy of millionaires and virtue signalling instead of people truly suggesting change. Anyone here can start any business, go start a fair insurance business, no one’s preventing you, and that will actually help the issue instead of crying online

    “Go start a fair insurance business”

    I cannot fathom how you can believe what you are writing.

      I can only say one thing: be the change you want to see. Nothing is going to change if nobody bothers doing anything

        I’m liking the change I’m seeing: fewer CEOs.

    There are actually very high barriers to entry in the insurance and health care markets (which in the USA are tightly intertwined).

    The health insurance industry doesn’t want there to be fair alternatives because then everyone would buy that instead. This is an oligarchy, not a democracy.

    Just because he didn’t do harm directly he still profited in an industry that does. There is some culpability there. He wasn’t forced to make millions in that particular industry.

    I am not saying I am casting my vote on either side of the argument on the shooting, but there was obviously some level of culpability here
