The reactions online are awful and completely divorced from reality.
- rootusrootus 2y agoGhouls, all of them. And all the adoration for the killer is going to create a whole lot of copycats.
- SlightlyLeftPad 2y agoWhile terrible and no one should condone murder ever, we might finally get some common sense gun laws as a result.
- logicchains 2y agoBecause people with the resources to carry out professional assassinations are going to abide by gun laws..
- SlightlyLeftPad 2y agoNo as a distraction to make the general public feel better about a situation they have no control over.
- analognoise 2y agoWhy must we never condone murder ever? Surely in the rich tapestry of human interaction, there are a number of reasonable places for it?
- hiatus 2y agoAren't guns already heavily regulated in NYC, and suppressors illegal in NYC altogether?
- jumping_frog 2y agoThe copycats would think of themselves as Dexter, doing good for the society while keeping the hobby alive (pun intended).
- xp84 2y agoYou're right, all of the healthcare CEOs are disgusting, morally-bankrupt ghouls!
- wetpaws 2y ago[dead]
- lostlogin 2y agoWhat do you think causes more deaths, CEO assassins, or healthcare CEOs? If you depend on insurance for healthcare, the reality is the power of a healthcare CEO.
- cyberax 2y agoIndeed. Some people even express sympathy for him! I asked my ex (an endocrinologist), and he told me that if the shooter stands trial before the jury made of doctors, the deliberations will be done in 5 minutes. And the shooter will go free. That's how much doctors hate the insurance CEOs. I also highly recommend this clip (also from an actual doctor): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWA2aQYXDbo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWA2aQYXDbo - and it's not actually a joke. The policy lampooned in this video was real, BCBS walked it back after the assasination.
- 8note 2y agoi wouldnt be surprised if doctors hared him for not making them the most profit possible, rather than anything about the sick and needy.
- cyberax 2y ago[flagged]
- throwaway48476 2y agoDoctors are forced to interact with the sick people instead of just seeing them on a spreadsheet.
- cyberax 2y agoFound a UnitedHealthcare employee.

- thatswrong0 2y agoIn what way?
- analognoise 2y agoI think it’s more detached from reality to think actions (especially monstrous ones like denying care to sick people) would be consequence free.
- surgical_fire 2y agoAgreed, too much focus on healthcare CEOs. There are many other CEOs and a billionaires that could be targeted too!
