Still a murderer. Regardless of how much we agree with his reasons and the rest of the outcomes.
Fuck that CEO, and fuck the entire US health insurance system, but I'm just not going to delude myself that this guy did not murder the piece of shit.
Edit: See, this is exactly what I'm so against. Too many people are willing to shit on anyone who says anything slightly negative about this guy, all while throwing logic out the window. This is disgusting and outright dangerous behavior.
People need to not lose sight that things got so bad that this guy had to take it this far. Downplaying the fact this was murder is not good.
And yet, actions taken by the UHC CEO have doubtlessly caused far, far more suffering and death. Why aren't you criticizing him?
People voted for privatized healthcare. They created the UHC. Nobody holds a vote for vigilante murder, nor is anything significant gained by setting the killer free.
Just treat it as a fair trade.
Brian Thompson, the CEO who was killed and raised the denial rate of UHC to be twice the industry average, was also unelected.
