  • This is not “a” person, this is a specific person who has perpetuated a corporate policy that directly affects the livelyhood of its medical customers. Many customers died because they were denied care, as a result of said corporate policy.

    This assassination did get me a positive result. Were I to go into surgery, I am garuteed anesthetics for the full surgery, even if it goes into overtime. This is due to United reversing a decision they made before the shooting. It was only through Brian Thompsan’s death that the company made this decision, as they have a reputation for denying care they are responsible for giving.

    The only legal recourse would be lawsuits. This does not work, as corporations of United’s size pay fines as if they were taxes - the fines don’t get the intended result.

    Are you against all violence, or unnecessary violence? History has many examples of necessary violence as a means of protecting one’s home or life. Violence is often inevitable, as desperate people become commonplace. And since there is no line dividing functional and dysfunctional societies, one must use their own judgment to determine if using violence will get them the change they want, and if that change is worthwhile.

    Even if you aren’t desperate, good luck explaining to the growing homeless how legal reform works better than insurrection, when they could easily steal to meet their need for food. The desperate don’t think long term, since humans prioritize immediate food and shelter over abstract economic stability. And since fewer housed people can afford retirement, their ability to believe in a stable future for themselves wanes.


  • Rule of law has not worked to fix the system, and material abundance does not help the sick and injured who are being scammed out of their savings for the promise of living.

    I agree with you that killing defensless people in the street is wrong. I also do not see this specific murder as wrong, and am prepared to defend that opinion from the standpoint of reducing the totality of human suffering. I would not perform such murder, but I would not assist the police.

    If you think I’m evil, so be it, but pearl-clutching does nothing but waste bandwidth, so give your best effort to convince people that your view is correct.
