“But”
And the rest of the message ignores that this murderer was a son of privilege

Murder is not the way we should seek redress of grievances. But be alert there are grievances forged by outcomes of an unfair healthcare system. People with different socioeconomic economic backgrounds and cognitive abilities address the grievances in different ways, sometimes pushed to violence.

It’s almost like you read Machiavelli once.
I also applaud what billionaire Mark Cuban is doing to bring down the cost of prescription drugs.
It needs to be a spectacle so the media will cover it.
The fundamental immorality of a for-profit healthcare system.
2) Their business model is built on fucking people over.
3) CEO ‘s clearly are not getting the message which means this will happen again.
It's about the target & what it represented. It's not a class war other than folks of immense wealth experience life differently than the rest of us.
Maybe I'm missing something but I don't see the significance of privilege to the validity of the struggle.
Anyway, I responded to Tom's point above
(Spoiler alert: they will).
I had what felt like a crazy conversation with an Ivy-league educated relative who was didactically adamant that sexism (never mind racism) played no role in the election.
The healthcare system is unequivocally broken in this country and the private health insurance companies are a scourge upon the population.
Also, murder is bad and you shouldn’t do it.
People love and need to find points of difference and dismiss the actions of "them"; much harder to confront a crime by one of your own.
this dude was in the anti-capitalism rabbit hole
If this is a protest, it's a very strange one.
There is something deeply, deeply disturbing about this .
It may also indicate that no one did this sooner simply due to lack of means. The reaction of social media shows the desire exists, and that it’s more mainstream than we’d like to admit.
Isn't democracy about solving problems w/o violence? This outcome is thud obvious, no?
god damnit.
Thousands of people don’t care, or are finding small pleasure and no one wants to know why?
It’s mind blowing and infuriating.
You’re focusing on the wrong thing. 🤯😡

The free market has spoken. 🙃
Living an absolute nightmare since that bloviated brown skinned bully floated down his escalator.
He has the entire world constantly in different phases of the abuse cycle.
Now cold murder is the norm. I refuse to engage with society anymore.
The media will rightly condemn his action and, in turn, condemn anyone who cheers for it.
In doing so, the righteous anger of the public about the state of U.S. healthcare markets will be largely silenced.
The silence allows anger to grow.
With that said, I never would have thought the murder of a healthcare CEO would have turned out to be a rich people fight. What a time to be alive!
