    It is bad that vigilantism is being celebrated (though I’ll admit to being aboard the “laugh about this specific murder” train).

    But I think the reason that this is being celebrated is that this is the only kind of justice this guy could have ever faced because his crime is legal

      If CEOs get to celebrate making money by killing people we get to celebrate vigilantism.

      At least with vigilantism fewer people die.

      Dont beat yourself up about it. Look at the context the public still has the last time billionaire died it was a submersible.

      The reaction to that and this are very similar except the challenge deep wasn’t involved to making healthcare unaffordable.

      Not to mention Rick Scott also defrauded millions from medicare in Fl

          Well those are their buddies who sign their outrageous checks. Of course millionaires are protecting billionaires and other millionaires. Class interests come before all else.

      It’s a moment of catharsis, its that drop of blood against a psychopathic group of people using their power and control to decide whether we get to live or die and mostly choose to let us die.

      At this point it feels like we’re in general are mostly out of options. Legislation hasn’t worked the ACA didn’t address the power health insurance companies have over us, voting with our wallet doesn’t work on an inelastic industry where every single person needs health care, the courts are bought out by these wealthy psychos.

      Either we just live with the current and keep dying unnecessarily or we use the last box of civic engagement.
