Mug is here for the CEO shooter.

He was quoted in the past saying: “When all other forms of communication fail, violence is necessary to survive.”

What are your thoughts on this?

If I were within earshot when he said that I'd respond with "No shit, Sherlock."

There are horrible flaws and stories in the US health care system, and people die because of it...the greed, profit, and survival of their companies take priority over the lives of human beings.

gonzag22.bsky.social•83 days ago

With that being said, you just can't go out and murder their executives. Justice in this country moves at a snail's pace.

France, heads roll.. history repeats.

The other other white meat. Nom nom nom.

ricardozapatajr.bsky.social•83 days ago

What kind of hair product does he use? Hair on point.

simplytoast.bsky.social•83 days ago

he's not wrong. This country wasn't liberated by virtue of terse letters and strongly worded posters.

yeagerll.bsky.social•83 days ago

He certainly grabbed attention to an issue the American people are rightly concerned about

rsvp2wendy.bsky.social•83 days ago

He was a spoiled rich kid and is the heir to a fortune. The whole thing doesn’t make a lot of sense.

Money can't buy your way out of chronic back pain, yet.

Somebody had their face eaten by a leopard and then shot a leopard.

emmago.bsky.social•83 days ago

It does if you look in political history ... this kid may come from a republican background, but his quotes sound a lot more like leftist theory. Marx was lower class, but Engels was from a very wealthy family. Bottom line, he understands class economics and the oligarchy in this country.

madmakhno.bsky.social•83 days ago

His X account included praises of Musk and Theil before Musk nuked it. Just a kid trying to figure things out.

lin12313.bsky.social•83 days ago

The biggest thing I would say is he doesnt look like the photos they've been showing of the shooter.

willbartt.bsky.social•83 days ago

He’s going to be able to prove his theory in the yard at Rykers. My money is on him going through some very unpleasant interactions.

themont3r.bsky.social•83 days ago

Agree with every word

dagmat.bsky.social•83 days ago

Maybe a popular choice for a Presidential Pardon?

sigviking.bsky.social•83 days ago

It’s sad. He’s sacrificed his life & future to make a point. I know murder isn’t an acceptable choice as a solution to a problem that some companies have chosen to end patients’ lives by denying coverage.
The answer: universal healthcare. If only he’d focused his energies to make that happen.

imafrozenfire.bsky.social•83 days ago

He did focus his energy on making it happen.

curraghchase.bsky.social•83 days ago

In 2024 did he actually sacrifice his future? He will have his day in court and his voice will be amplified. If he is charismatic enough who knows? America was captivated by Hawk Tuah girl. What if she had had a real message? This is a weird moment in time.

becdawgmil.bsky.social•83 days ago

Historically, violence is the only thing that people at the top take seriously.

drgurner.bsky.social•82 days ago

My thoughts are that he was an ivy educated man of privilege, who certainly could had the potential to communicate better than he did - and now his life is destroyed, the CEO will be replaced, and his violence changed nothing.

maile.bsky.social•82 days ago

I agree that nothing will change. He would have made more change by going lawschool- lobbying and fighting from within.

drgurner.bsky.social•82 days ago

A lot of people are rightly frustrated with healthcare, but you're right - He could have started a competing company, done law school to take on reform pro bono, etc..

So many ways to use brilliance to bring about change that would have actually been effective. What a waste of 2 lives.

ilikekillnerds.com•83 days ago

I get the frustration with corrupt systems, but celebrating violence crosses a line. It’s not justice; it’s chaos. If the goal is change, we need action that fixes the system, not fuels more harm. Vigilantism might feel like rebellion, but it rarely leads to anything better.

gmsoros.bsky.social•83 days ago

Did you watch the movie “John Q”.
After John Q there was a lot of changes to the healthcare industry

lesliealarson.bsky.social•83 days ago

I bet there’s more to this story.

War is a continuation of politics by any other means.
- Carl Von Clausewitz

Dude shouldn't get off, but this has created a badly needed dialogue between both sides of the aisle.

ilenej.bsky.social•83 days ago

IMO, he threw away his life for nothing. He’s no freedom fighter. I think he was mentally disturbed.

corit153m.bsky.social•83 days ago

They are reporting he had some kind of mental break.

ilenej.bsky.social•83 days ago

Yes, saw something about that. He also had back surgery, could have triggered it. Medications, anesthesia, extreme pain🤷‍♂️

alexcartaz.bsky.social•82 days ago

I keep thinking he has an AirPod in

sammigirl824.bsky.social•83 days ago

He'll have fun in prison.

bailey1050.bsky.social•80 days ago

I won’t laud this cowardly lunatic anymore than I would:
Ted Kaczynski
Tim McVeigh
Charles Manson

Or any other terrorist or killer who destroys others. This guy destroyed two lives and two families. He’ll more than likely get life and will be forgotten except for some daft female pen pals.

sfnativekelly.bsky.social•83 days ago

Violence is never the answer.

itsjenren.bsky.social•83 days ago

Yet it's how this country was created, how the 40 hour work week was created, how slavery was ended, how women are allowed to own property and vote ...

sfnativekelly.bsky.social•81 days ago

Ok, then "murder" is not the answer, IMHO

itsjenren.bsky.social•81 days ago

Probably not.

unacoder.bsky.social•83 days ago

This mugshot launched 1000 memes today and who knows how many more until he finally drops off everyone's radar.

kesselrunner528.bsky.social•82 days ago

That I really hate the posts ending in "What's your opinion / what are you thoughts on this"

magitek.bsky.social•83 days ago

He also quoted The Lorax.

bigduckfan1.bsky.social•83 days ago

He's pathetic human garbage 🗑

rayl.bsky.social•83 days ago

Not that I'm part of it, nor am I hoping for it. People aren't going to get what they think Trump is offering. Those are unhinged people already. Other people are beyond frustrated with a lack of justice. People like Trump get breaks others don't. I don't endorse it but history shows the trends.

whatadisaster.bsky.social•83 days ago

You people dont vote and then cheer for this while condemning other forms of violence. This is wild.

What a completely fucked lot america is

douthinkucantell.bsky.social•83 days ago

This statement has proven true throughout history.

jonthegoose.bsky.social•83 days ago

Pardon him, Biden!!

cece250.bsky.social•83 days ago

I think that if someone I loved very much died because the insurance company wrongfully denied their claims, or if I was dying and being denied care, the picture would get extremely complicated.

1epluribusunum.bsky.social•83 days ago

I'm glad that shooter did what they did.

thecenteredopinion.bsky.social•83 days ago

Wouldn't it be hilarious if he was a registered republican.

corit153m.bsky.social•83 days ago

His cousin is a Maryland republican rep. They could be twins.

dysfunctional1.bsky.social•83 days ago

Hmmm. Not buying into this yet. He’s wealthy, his family owns resorts and nursing homes (benefits from healthcare insurance): Maybe in partnership with someone to throw off the cops. How would he know the guy’s schedule?

theroofdiva.bsky.social•83 days ago

Historical truth 🤷‍♀️

colemarie.bsky.social•83 days ago

All the world’s a stage for some Sacco and Vanzetti types. Murder should never be the answer but in self defense. That said, I see how people find glimmers of hope in great disparate events to attach some feelings of control. There are very few good stories.

bonnietrek4455.bsky.social•83 days ago

He has 4 aliases on Bluesky… block them all

rcopelander.bsky.social•83 days ago

Historically speaking it's accurate, but the whole point of civilization is to move beyond those types of historical norms

ccwolf101.bsky.social•83 days ago

Now he can spend the rest of his life incarcerated

radbadtad.bsky.social•83 days ago

Society is what we built in order to stop having to kill problem creators.

The societal justice machine is now broken, and it's not doing anything to protect us from the most dangerous villains, because they have captured and broken it.

So people will revert to the only way they see that works.

itsjenren.bsky.social•83 days ago

He's not exactly wrong. 🤷
