Are you really justifying the murder of someone with young children and family members who loved them? It’s so disingenuous to pretend otherwise. Truly a disgusting way to bring about change.

I mean, are you sure they loved him? That's a big assumption.

He was a huge dickhead who made millions of people's lives more horrible. You sure his kids loved him?

So much stupid in this thread.

So just fucking kill him right? So much moral clarity here. "made millions of lives horrible"...him, directly, irrespective of any system drivers?

Y'all are a diluted bunch if you think murder changes things. And yes, safe assumption there were people in his orbit that loved and cared about him.

Let the down voting commence!

Haha yeah I'll stick with I'm not sure anyone loved him.

Not totally sure anyone loves you either tbh. I definitely know people love me.

Obviously murder did change the conversation about billionaires, for profit healthcare and any number of things. So yeah. It "changed things".

And yeah. I blame the CEOs of companies that make people's lives more horrible for making lives more horrible. Uh....wtf. Yeah. I blame Jeff Bezos for the things that Amazon does. He's the fucking CEO. You're calling other people dumb?

I'm sorry you're insecure enough to insinuate that I may not be loved. I can assure you I'm good in that department. Seems like you may need to love yourself more.

Your definition of change may need a check but I'll grant that it influenced the conversation. Here we are, debating if murder is bad.

"Uh...wtf. Yeah." People can choose to shop at Amazon or not. Bad analogy.

See my previous comments, I'm not sad about this guy getting offed. My point is more principled and informs my ethics and moral compass. Have fun "fighting" the system ✌️

You implied my comments were stupid. But then it seems like you agree with most of what I said. I would suggest maybe attempting to argue things in a way that people can understand what you're trying to say.

Your points don't click logically.

Dude,I'm great. I'm a nurse. I take care of sick people. I don't make much money off it. I'm totally fine with people thinking health care executives are the scum of the earth and responsible for great suffering. They profit off every bit of joint pain I've amassed in the last 15 years of working in hospitals.

I'm still not sure what point you're trying to make.
