Rich people killing poor people = dog bites man, media uninterested.
Poor people killing rich people = man bites dog, media frenzy.
America smiled and grinned.
One victim was responsible for the deaths and misery of untold thousands, greedily denying insurance claims for pure fun and profit.
America was horrified by the loss of such a man.
Medicare for all should be the democrats platform from now on if they ever want to win again. The answer is staring at us.
Dems need new blood in the party. And fuck Liz Chaney.
Health insurance and
privatization of health care are nothing but parasites feeding off of the working class.
But I understand.

Murder/Execution is wrong, self defense is not.
Not defending Penny. But, apples & oranges...
One was premeditated.
Better to go with the #NoJusticeNoPeace argument. Or better, #SystemicRacism
Daniel Penny thought he was protecting people.
You can't compare that to a person that intentional murder some one.
“It’s not WHO you know.
It’s who you KILL”.
Or something like that.
PS. this is turning into the plot of the Joker and it is scary!
Oh, and America's justice system is just about as fucked as your Health System!
He killed a man who allowed hundreds of thousands of sick people to die by denying them coverage - that would've otherwise saved their lives - for frivolous reasons.
& ESPECIALLY egregious because those dead people actually PAID him to receive that healthcare they were denied?
One encountered a stranger in crisis and choked the life from him for over six minutes.
One, likely after years of physical suffering, made worse by UHCs greed, targeted the cause in a swift, silent manner.
Not the same.
White guy murders poor black guy in cold blood: ✅
White guy murders rich white guy with cause: ❌
Homeless people are not a societal threat, they are the most vulnerable victims of a brutal system.
Hoarding wealth & access to public resources is an incitement to violence.

The Left idolizing murderers of greedy CEOs is not any better than the Right idolizing murderers of BLM protesters.
Get a fu*king conscience.
Jeez, a former marine decided to step up and protect. 🤔 What we want is the average New Yorker who prides themself on not making eye contact nor getting involved. Enjoy your next subway ride, but please do not expect any help.
The CEO was a "winner" because he figured out how to 'deliver more value to the institutional investors while killing patients.
That's the balling life, yo!!!!!

Carry on.
But many of us understand the motivation behind it, and find it hard to be upset that this scumbag was taken out.
Vigilante Racist Killers
OR
Vigilante Millionaire Killers
There are simply no other options…
wait till they re-discover Uzi DriveBys from the 80’s!!
The CEO case was premeditated murder. The homeless man case was maybe negligence. The civil court will decide that.
But can we not allow these horrific events distract the us from the maga agenda, we are possibly headed into a dictatorship, where many people will die at trump’s bequest.
He stopped someone from continuing to murder many people who PAID to die.
My comment has nothing to do with any of this, my concern at this point in time is the country heading into a dictatorship, rights being ripped away, if you’re not a white male you will have a target on your back
Didn’t think so.
Has it been done?
Is someone doing it?

But I still think these cases cannot be compared politically, socially, and especially legally. The circumstances are not similar.
