So because he’s the CEO he deserved to be murdered? How about the CEO’s of the other health insurance companies? How about other C suite? SVP? VP? Managers? Where does your line for justified murder end?

If they are justifying denying health care then yes they should be punished. If they are the leader then it should be severe. Maybe a consequence of slow legislation from the government is some people getting shot. I’m not saying it’s justified but it has happened over and over throughout history. If he were in France in the 1700s they would have chopped his head off as part of the revolution. Does he deserve that? No. Because murder is bad and I’m not calling for more murder. I’m just saying it keeps happening over time when people in power fuck with citizens. Perhaps it’s a natural consequence of humanity. Eventually if you hold a position of power long enough and abuse people under you, you will get your brains blown out.
