Disgusting. Everyone has the freedom to say what they think. Justifying extra-judicial murder because of policy difference shows that you have no principles, and only go along with what will keep you popular with your tribe. Everyone celebrates "justice" against the "bad guys" via vigilante violence until they are next against the wall.

If you ever happen to talk to normal people you realize people already feel very much "against the wall" when it comes to healthcare. People die everyday because their claims are denied. I am curious what you think the more rational way to be is in this world. The play of life and death is already our theater, but we are just supposed to take it I guess, never give it out.

  Worse than people dying, even more common a single health event can literally bankrupt a family. This happens every day, all day. 41% of Americans have some sort of health care debt. Over 3 million Americans owe more than $10,000 in medical debt. The average American can’t swing an unexpected $2000 expense, imagine how destructive this is, and what is it for? Record profits for insurance companies?

The guy probably knew he was a pencil pushing mass murderer of sorts; doesn't mean he should be shot by vigilantes, but in modern society it seems you get away with this (boeing ceo, this guy etc) if you trust on the system as 'he is just maximizing profits, great US company, we are the greatest country because of people like this blah blah' (until it's your mother or sister or whatever ofcourse). You don't have to justify anything by not wanting to help catching the killer though; it's their choice. I have never been in this situation (not allowed here), but as I said before, I find the restraint amazing; if a family member would have paid for 30 years in some insurance and then gets denied because some AI said no, I find it hard to imagine this type of vigilante stuff is so rare. And the ceo really knows this is happening so he should go to jail, at least. Not just a slap on the wrist.

Nobody is justifying the killing. They just don’t care to help find the killer.

Nobody "justifies" it. But it would be nice that you would be just as shocked by the practices of the US healthcare industry
