Some? I've yet to find anyone not on his side, the most I can find are people sarcastically saying "Oh no, won't someone please catch him..."
What were the words written on the bullets.
Thing is, if they don't catch him, it will inspire a copycat to repeat his tactics.
And I honestly can't even bring myself to say it's a bad thing; this gunman killed a glorified serial killer, a man who is paid to find people buying his product in order to get help for fatal yet curable illnesses, and kill them in order to save costs.
Violence is wrong and should only be used as a last resort, but well, given the circumstances it's hard for me to lose sleep at night....
I legally cannot and will not advocate violence, I stress this, I AM NOT ADVOCATING VIOLENCE, IF YOU'RE PLANNING YOUR OWN VIOLENT ACT I BEG YOU TO RECONSIDER! Everyone out there has at least one other person who loves them, and most high profile violent acts backfire horribly on the perpetrator.
But I will say this. Some men can only be pushed so far until they're at the edge, then they'll grab onto the person who put them there so at least they fall together... And many MANY men are at the edges.

Deny. Defend. Depose.
They did the worst thing. They found him, named him, and published a glamour shot. This should have been the school shooting procedure if they didn't want copycats. Instead of an unnamed killer they can vilify they now have the story of a normal, well educated, young man pushed over the edge. An Anti-Hero. I predict one of two things in the next 1-6 years. The death of health insurance or the death of more health insurance executives.
I'd like to take this time to point out that CEOs are cogs in a machine, important, highly placed cogs, but cogs all the same. They couldn't run the place any other way without their majority shareholders firing them. Those are generally groups like Blackrock and Vanguard, (The largest shareholders in UHC). They have that status in many publicly traded companies. This gives them an outsized say in the board composition of companies across the economy; on issues like food, housing, and yes healthcare. If you're looking for a deep state or shadow government, these guys are close as it gets. They don't directly make the twisted policies but they do fire CEOs that don't make the green line go up in any way possible.
Once Americans figure that out I think the rage is going to be surreal in it's magnitude.
God I hope so
