Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted?
Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted?
This is a genuine question.
I have a hard time with this. My righteous side wants him to face an appropriate sentence, but my pessimistic side thinks this might have set a great example for CEOs to always maintain a level of humanity or face unforseen consequences.
P.S. this topic is highly controversial and I want actual opinions so let's be civil.

No. I hope he is never found
I hope they admit to it on their deathbed a long long time from now so they can be buried under a round of applause.
This guy has done more to united America than anyone in recent history.
I didn't realize we all had this in US.
If he's caught the lessons of how will help the dozens of copycats
For many reasons.
Firstly, never meet your heroes...
That's a disgusting frame of mind. The murderer needs to be caught and punished.
The murderer was shot and killed. That’s what this whole thing is about.
No the murderer hasn't been caught yet. You have your information incorrect.
True, the mass murderer wasn't caught. They were assassinated on video. You can watch it if you want proof.
Woosh
he did get caught and punished. wait...
The murderer has not been caught yet as of this writing. Your information is incorrect.
*whoosh
Brian Thompson deserved to die and his murderer is a hero.
I 100% don't regret this guy's death but it does make me uncomfortable when people claim anyone "deserves death". This sentiment is exactly why we have capital punishment and why uncountable numbers of innocent or undeserving accused persons were killed, sometimes cruelly, and often by a government.
I don't think anyone is perfect enough to decide who deserves death, except maybe in extreme cases where the individual is 100% sure of extreme harm. For example if someone came into my house and killed my loved one, I think it's 100% justified to make that decision and kill that murderer.
The year is 1940. You're a French soldier. You're waiting just outside Paris for the Nazis to come. When they arrive, will you use your gun to try to kill them?
Well I hope so.. because not only does that seem to fit the types of exceptions I mentioned, I'm also a soldier in this scenario.
Seems you missed my point entirely.
The year is 2024. Brian Thompson has doubled the number of healthcare claims denied by insurance since he became CEO of UnitedHealthcare. Thousands of people have died as a result of his personal, individual actions. Will you use your gun to try and kill him?
Way to make sure the point doesn't penetrate your thick skull. I'm not a fucking soldier by the way
That's a disgusting attitude. How would you like it if someone said you deserve to die?
Well if it was a healthcare CEO denying drag's insurance claim, drag would probably want to assassinate them about it.
Sarcasm?
Right wing shill account. Old history is a bot like post of a bunch of Fox news and loads of low effort and negative comments typical of a shill
Not real ring wing haha
Right and left are united on this issue and see a lot of potential to reconcile to get things done
"Right" and "Left" are meaningless words in politics which have no concrete definition, have no useful material basis, are relative to context, and group contradictory ideologies together into a nonsensical strawman. The left-right spectrum just isn't a meaningful way of interpreting politics.
Case in point: "right-leaning" mass media is generally defending the CEO, while others we would consider "right" are pro-shooter.
You are correct but you are also either not recognizing or being dense about what I meant, ie people on both sides within my life and social media are essentially cheering this despite what media says.
Ehh, yes, I suppose I was being intentionally dense in a way, overlooking the point of unity, because I believe events like this show us exactly why the left-right framework should be fought; the 'left' and 'right' are unified when it comes to class conflict! The real split lies in who is the owner class and who isn't.
I was regrettably blunt and antagonistic, sorry.
I love this reply. It shows integrity and self reflection, also taking accountability. Thank you.
