Brian Thompson's case shows systemic vs direct violence: one hidden as "civilized," the other viewed as evil.

Technology and bureaucracy weaponized for murder and suffering on a massive scale, yet his killer is condemned for directly responding with the same violence Thompson’s actions produced. I only feel sorry for the people who are suffering or have passed away due to the healthcare industry.

but did you hear he's a husband and father?

Edit: was*

Edit: In case it wasn't clear, this is a joke. Obviously.

I'm a husband and father. I wouldn't disappoint them by killing thousands of people and getting shot for it. It's a reason to not do evil things.
