People should not kill law abiding citizens they disagree with because everyone has a different opinion.
also people should most definitely NOT kill law abiding citizens! we do have laws for that
These are the laws that your fellow citizens have chosen and established.
killing CEOs is not the kind of violence any reasonable human being can condone, but people tragically affected by someone’s actions may not be all that reasonable
We do, but unfortunately it heavily favors the party with the most money. If you want to take a health insurance company to court it's gonna cost you a lot of money in lawyer fees and you'll face a phalanx of corporate lawyers who have a lot of experience in crushing cases brought by their customers. That's not to say that people should go out and take matters into their own hands, but there is a lot of pent-up frustration out there and we really need to start addressing some of these issues before more of this happens.
Someone has turned to vigilante justice here not because they believe that the courts are useless, but because they believe that this is such an extreme case that courts would not have worked in this case.
What I believe people fear is not the rise of anarchy due to one killing, but a fundamental shift in attitudes of the ordinary people in response to the unreasonable rise of the power structure. This threatens not order but the very power structure itself, which implies that a lot of people who benefit from injustice will suddenly be at risk of losing those benefits (money).
That's not what happened.
Brian Thompson isn't a "law abiding citizen I disagree with" he's a law abiding citizen who killed people. If you or your loved one died because of his actions, would you "have a disagreement with him"? Is that what you'd call that?
How many millions of people did he save?
Tell that to the people whose family members died due to his actions.
I'm not arguing this with you again for you to ignore what I say again.
> If you attribute the deaths from healthcare denials to him, did he also save every life that wasnt denied?
> How many millions of people did he save?
None that wouldn't have been saved by anyone doing his job. Literally, it was just his job, and he was close to as bad at is as he could get away with. All the evidence I've seen is that this guy was an obstacle to saving lives at every opportunity he got.
Even if we somehow pretend he made any effort to saving lives, how many lives do you have to save to get a free pass for a murder in your mind? Is that how you think this works?
Honestly, I think there's something wrong with your conscience. Grow some compassion for other humans.
Good when it works, but what happens when it fails?
