Comment on Man suspected of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO is ordered held without bail after brief court appearance in Pennsylvania in ~news
pete_the_paper_boat Link ParentWhat a bizarre comparison. I can think of many ways in which public outrage causes change way before opting for murder... And I don't think so, actually, I think barely anyone even knew who he was...Murder is generally bad, but would you fault a jew for killing Hilter in 1938?
What a bizarre comparison.
The killing of this specific CEO, was pretty much a matter of when, not if.
I can think of many ways in which public outrage causes change way before opting for murder... And I don't think so, actually, I think barely anyone even knew who he was until the assassination, then heard the backstory, and nodded along.

pete_the_paper_boat Link ParentExactly, it's hard for people to sympathize. But a lot of people turn this into a "good murder"/"bad murder", which worries me. I do not believe the murder to have any valid justification (, feels...It's wild that there are so many disappointed people right now. It's made us all reconsider our values. And I must admit, although I don't condone violence at all, certainly not murder, it's hard to feel any kind of sympathy for the victim here.

I do not believe the murder to have any valid justification (, feels stupid to even have to clarify such a position.) But it should be a very clear signal that the insurance industry deserves a closer look.

It would be a neutral party to purely exist for the benefit of the development of the browser
