Might need to update the hair cut on this:

        I still stand by my original statement, but hot damn I hadn’t considered that when making it.

        What a chief.

      Looks like a murderer from all sides

      Edit: I’m no longer responding to comments here as it’s overwhelmingly been bad faith arguments, and I’m just not into that.

              Killing people on the street is not normal behaviour in any situation, and even suggesting that is sick.

                I agree, Brian Thompson should never have been allowed to murder so many people with his psychopathic level of greed.

                So he should be punished for killing a man “on the street”, but the man he (allegedly) killed, the one who ordered hundreds of thousands, if not millions of deaths all for the sake of making more money that he doesn’t need; you think that’s fine and acceptable and we should all just let it keep happening because it didn’t occur “on the street”?

                What is sick is your suggestion that giving a mass murderer his comeuppance is morally wrong. Your framing of this as anything but what it actually very obviously is is pathetic and paper-thin.

                in any situation

                Really? So if an invading army rolls down the street, everyone should just try to have a chat?

            It is not psychopathic to use deadly force in defense of yourself or others. The psychopath was the CEO denying healthcare for profit.

              So did anyones live get saved by his action? Was anyone immediately in danger? Or was ist just retaliation to satisfy his personal feelings of unjustice? He did not fix the broken system, and nobody doing this will. Everyone deserves a just process, because that is what makes a stable society.

                Yes actually. Insurance companies across the board suddenly started approving claims at a noticeably higher rate immediately after. A large enough increase that it was immediately felt by consumers and the media even covered the change. Thousands of lives were demonstrably improved by not having to deal with bullshit fights over claims being systematically denied by default like they had been.

                Within 3 days of the incident, and the groundswell of people not buying the media’s attempt to make people feel sorry for the piece of shit CEO who made money off the suffering of his countrymen, reversed a new policy where they were going to only cover part of the cost of anesthetic if the procedure “took too long”. A policy that would increase mistakes made during surgery or babysitting more people for no reason other than greed.

                So yes. It helped millions. Pretty much Immediately. Is everything fixed? No. Was intentional harm reduced? Slightly.

        That’s what the police planting a gun and manifesto, extra cash and a passport in his bag he’d packed for a trip to McDonald’s a week after the incident…was meant to make you think.
