Turns out that looting millions of people’s healthcare for profit and ruining a large subset of their lives doesn’t garner you any sympathy. Crazy how that works.
Miss me with this bullshit. Bad people deserve bad endings, and he got what he deserved.
If our laws and justice system ever decide to start working for anyone except the rich, then maybe I’ll start giving a fuck about them. I’m sure Trump and Elon will get right on that.
Where should he have been gunned down then? The footage was pretty good, but better lighting and sound would be nice.
Getting gunned down is exactly what should happen to mass murderers. That is exactly what this guy was. When the system fails as consistently as ours has, people are going to take care of justice themselves. The fact that it hasn’t happened at scale is the result of remarkable restraint on the part of the working class.
This isn’t a Lemmy thing. This response has been nearly universal in every space where public comments can be found.
It’s pretty wild how little empathy humanity has as a whole. The discourse on Lemmy around this murder has been a little disturbing. The man had children.
Quite frankly, executives of health insurance companies continually make money by denying medical coverage to people with children and letting them agonizingly die slowly.
I’m not on here celebrating his death for the sole reason that I think it’s just as likely this corporate espionage / assassination for money, but if it is a normal person shooting a health insurance executive for denying a loved ones’ coverage it’s hard to imagine how the executive didn’t deserve it.
You don’t get to be separated from the morality of your actions, just because you use neutral sounding business language to describe how you’re fucking over and killing people for personal profit. If you come into your job and you focus every day on how we can make more money, instead of how we can deliver a better product and thus make more money, then you’re an evil scab and drain on society.
This is the definition of keyhole compassion. You feel more for the monster who made millions off denying medical care to people, stealing their money, and laughing all the way to the bank rather than the people he deliberately let suffer and die.
Your take is disgusting. The executive class should be living in constant fear after all the crimes they have committed to the working class, poor, colonized, enslaved, and otherwise marginalized people.
Then maybe you should focus on the robber barons creating this crisis instead of concern trolling the people who have been locked out of institutional power and must use violence to get any kind of justice.
As did the many of the thousands of people who died from being denied treatment in order to push his wage packet up another million dollars. Some of them were children themselves.
The man also built a company that refused to provide anti-vomit meds to children on chemo. “Think of the children,” they demanded, while thinking of literally no children but their own.

You don’t have to like the guy or his job to think that he shouldn’t be gunned down in the fucking street.
American justice system clearly showed it’s incapable. It’s either street justice or injustice.
Is it ok?
No.
But neither is the alternative.

A civilian shouldn’t have to resort to this because of society’s failure to bring less violent justice.

No, I don’t feel more. I feel equally. None of it good. People dying is not good.
I don’t even think his company should exist to deny people health care in the first place.
Then maybe you should focus on the robber barons creating this crisis instead of concern trolling the people who have been locked out of institutional power and must use violence to get any kind of justice.
And I’m sure a lot of the people he denied health care to in the name of profit had children too.
