Nah he was defending himself against highway robbery.

If he gets caught (hope he doesn’t), I hope he gets prosecuted, pleads self defense, and wins.

Because let’s be honest, this is 100% a case of community self defense.

I'd say it will be nearly impossible to get an objective jury that also represents the defendants peers.

I wouldn't ally myself with some random anon, especially not one with a history of violence, but I'm also not actively seeking his arrest. He's the cops' problem and I'm not helping.

You gotta weigh the decision, on one hand he shot and killed one person, on the other hand the dude he killed was allowing sick people to die unnecessary deaths so he could get his bonus.

So it's a big old fat no from me, that's a greater good scenario.

I am under the belief that there was no murder and he had a preexisting condition of lead poisoning. As such, we unfortunately do not cover these kinds of conditions in our penal system and his claim must be denied.

If they ever set up a GoFundMe to set up a memorial statue of the killer, just give a shout.

Prosecution is required since otherwise it would set a precedent for revenge killings, but holy shit even serial killers did less harm than this one person

Yes, of course. Then face a jury. And hopefully go free via jury nullification.

How do we get him to do it again?

I’ve already received a ban on LW for benign comment when this story broke (like lots of others) and this community is on LW so I won’t give my opinion, but instead point out that more communities should move away from LW (and I definitely don’t mean to ml)

When we prosecute all the avoidable deaths by Insurance Companies in pursuit of greed.

In most circumstances, I absolutely would not encourage vigilantism.

Millions of people effectively have no choice in their health care.

They are seeing friends and family die or become destitute because these companies refuse to give them the care they're paying for.

These companies own the government, and they indirectly write the laws.

They are making the decisions to make money rather than do their jobs and provide healthcare. They are literally taking our money and buying yachts and property instead of just paying for medical procedures and medication.

If this is what it takes for that all to change, I see no reason to make a martyr of him. It's the corporations that need to change, not the guy forcing them to.

Yes. He murdered someone. Will I curl up in a ball and cry for hours if he's never caught? Not so much.

Yes, because murder is illegal. But if they never find the guy... That's okay too.

Jury nullification would be nice.

No, but I hope someone makes him a cool cape or something of the sorts.

What murderer? He fell on lead because he was high on prescription drugs.

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone

Or something

The ceo was a bad dude,

But murdering people isn’t cool.

Trump said he could murder a guy on Fifth Avenue,

Maybe this guy can murder a guy on Sixth Avenue.

🤷‍♂️

Edit: if he is some crazy cereal killer then I guess he has to get away with it the first time?

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out and how long it goes on for. I feel like every other shooting, even school shootings these days get the "thoughts and prayers" treatment. Then it's onto the next news at six and who won last night's game.

Don't give a shit if he's prosecuted for it, I'd be a bit pissed if a jury convicts him.

No! But we could slice the CEO into small pieces.... Accidentally.... And accidentally drop the pieces in resin and sell them on eBay? Then when you go in for a healthcare review, you come in wearing the pendant.... "Oh this? Its the tip of his penis! I paid $300 for it, it was cheap!"

Even if he gets convicted, he'll be a hero in prison. We've had plenty of serial killers with cult followings, and this person is more dangerous to the establishment out in public.

It's very likely that he would get dealt with in a similar way that Epstein was.

Yes. I have no sympathy for the CEO but murder is still murder

If that was a catalyst for many others to do the same instead of an isolated incident, we wouldn't have called it an assassination. We would have called it a revolution. In the kind of time and society we find ourselves in, this is the closest we'll ever get to a revolution. And I say, viva la revolución!
