Not just a CEO but a shit human.

I feel for his family and loved ones. I’m not celebrating his death. I’m just not surprised by it.

I doubt they lost any sleep knowing their dad killed thousands by denying them coverage. Why would i lose sleep for them? Hell, they are probably looking at a juicy life insurance payout, which is more than any of us will get when United kills our loved ones.

I'm celebrating it.

On a personal level, yeah it's got to be a shock. On the other hand they profited off of the suffering of others. My empathy is limited.

Right. The situation could directly correlate. The guy responsible for limiting access to physical and mental healthcare for millions was shot and killed in a premeditated murder. He’s fucking with millions of physically and mentally ill people. Granted, this is the most extreme repercussion for his actions, but it’s not like he’s some random CEO.

He didn't suffer as much as the pain he's inflicted upon others. He also didn't bankrupt his family in the process.

I can't say this is the way I want society to run ..... but quite frankly I think we're all sick of pretending that killing someone with a pen is any different than killing someone with a gun.

How hated must you be when suddenly leftists, tankies, fascists, conservatives and liberals find themselves in quiet agreement about their feelings on your murder. Even the silence from gun control advocates is deafening.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

There's nothing quiet about the agreement on Lemmy over this.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 weeks ago

The quiet part is the agreement with others you completely disagree with almost always, and even often despise.

It’s the thing the people who are CEOs don’t want us to think about. It’s not leftists, tankies, fascists, conservatives against each other. It’s them against everyone else.

To be fair, this isn't really a "gun control" type situation. A single, targeted, killing, would have been just a successful if it were done with a knife instead. The gun control arguments are more applicable to spree killings.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 weeks ago

I mean, the guy would have been able to write their whole message on one knife rather than needing three bullet casings to get it across.

So I guess environmentalists and the metal industry (Big Metal?) would probably care a bit?
