Murder is wrong, no matter how much you hate the victim. FFS.
If Trump celebrated the murder of someone he hated (& he does), you're good with that, too?
Seeing so many good people being okay with someone killing someone in cold blood is beyond alarming.
"He deserved it?" No, even if he was a prick
Agree %. The vigilantism supported by the current political environment is totally unacceptable. The lack of empathy and compassion is 180° out from the values instilled by families, educational institutions, and voiced in our Constitution. Celebrating the murder of any individual confirms we have lost our moral direction.
@Atticus1956 @GottaLaff Put a foot in a bucket of hot sand, the other in a bucket of ice water. Are you hot, or cold? I in fact can celebrate action taken against the injustice of "healthcare" even while lamenting the human loss. Thompson may have been a nice guy, in context, and he's still the "buck stops here" person in context of rolling out an AI with a 90% inaccuracy rate which in turned caused uncountable misery and even death.
Oh, and #EatTheRich .
@phaedral @Atticus1956 @GottaLaff perspective
Brian Thompson killed more Americans by denying them critical healthcare, AFTER THEY PAID HIM FOR IT, than any terrorist with an WMD ever did.
People clutching pearls at the manner of his death did not raise any of that stink when he used AI to essentially kill (or cut length or quality of life from) hundreds of thousands, for profit.
Thompson was a smiling monster. protecting monsters is an obscenity unto itself.
Maybe "murder is not the answer" but when EVERY AND ANY OTHER ANSWER is denied to people, the Rule of Law has failed, factually.
For fuck's sake a convicted felon ON BAIL is being allowed to enter the White House, when he should be going to the Big House.
Law reflects (or should) the overall Will of People. Law is only as good as People are. Law is just ink on paper, if people are not willing to enforce it. Legal fetishes are not gonna save us, guys.
be 117% sure of one thing: clutching pearls and bothsidism ARE killing democracy, because allowing the other side to use a missile launcher when the spineless dems bring niceties to the fight.
@faraiwe @Atticus1956 @GottaLaff Trump shouldn't be going to jail. His head should be on a pike out front of 1600 Pennsylvania as a warning to other traitors.
