The assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson revealed corruption in society that justifies higher corporate spending to protect executives.
The Rick Jones response makes your case perfectly. Holy Hell what is wrong w/people. Thx for your post I was really bothered last week by the “celebrations” and justification BS. Taylor Lorenz is mentally disturbed and has been for years but sadly, she is just 1 of many.
The most surprising thing about this is that something like it hasn't happened sooner. And if you were surprised by the killing, or surprised by the public reaction, you are clearly, clearly out of touch with the state of health care for most people in the U.S. And please don't forget, Donald Trump said, "To those who have been wronged and betrayed, of which there are many people out there, I will be your retribution.” Retribution by those who feel wronged and betrayed has been fully endorsed by the President-elect. Welcome to the new world.
I purposely did not discuss my views of the healthcare system as they are totally irrelevant to the topic of the post: public approval of an assassination and the need to take preventative steps to avoid such situations in the future. Your comments comparing this situation to Trump are ridiculous and don’t even warrant a response.
I agree totally. The public reaction to this event has been deeply disturbing.

Thankfully, police have apprehended a suspect in the case:
