The full facts about exactly why he was killed aren’t known so I can’t understand why some people are already drawing conclusions or celebrating his death

gwadn-wreti.bsky.social•156 days ago

People are celebrating because regardless of the specific motive, the guy deserved it.

No one deserves to lose their life.

Lifetime imprisonment yes, death no, or we end up no better than them.

gwadn-wreti.bsky.social•156 days ago

Agree to disagree. Maybe this guy coulda been saved with an intensive programme of restitutional community labour and re-education, but that's not exactly possible without a lot more people suddenly getting way more cool with communism than they are right now.

Don't care if he's saved or reformed, just locked up OR ( cheaper for the tax payer) barred from ever having a healthcare related role in any shape or form.

I haven't seen 'celebration'.
Apathy, a sense of 'he deserved it', and a general disdain for health insurance companies in general are widespread though.
As well as many memes.

Don’t get me wrong. I don’t feel particularly sorry for him but would like to know a bit more about his crimes and the murderer’s story & motives. There is a feeling that these corporate types escape justice so maybe this might focus their minds.

Things like this don’t help…..

Social media's almost overwhelming lack of sympathy for his demise is telling, though.

One less private health care demon is less than bad

If I was not retired, I would "down tools" & persuade as many people as poss to join me.

Murder is awful no matter the reason. However, the shooting is a good wake-up call for us in the UK to protect the NHS. Healthcare is a necessity and a right for all. It should never be based on your wallet.

I agree was NHS phlebotomist since 1983 privatised in 2014 big mistake only interested in money didn't give a thought about the person on the end of the needle. I left the NHS 2018

I would like to think it’s times like these, when those of us who are protected by #NHS healthcare, truly realise how precious that is!
