    I’m kinda sick & tired of this story already, because it’s become a media spectacle that takes our eye off the ball: US private health insurance, US healthcare in general, and capitalism.

      How much were people talking about those issues before all of this? There were whispers, but no concerted dialogue. Now is our chance to have one. Don’t waste it.

      100% Killing one pos CEO doesn’t fix the problem. Large company’s are already talking about beefing up security for their ceos. Like will it even matter?

        If there’s an upside it’s that it focuses people’s attention on the class struggle we’re all part of, whether we want to be or not. Some people will be realizing this for the first time; others will be experiencing a feeling of working class solidarity for the first time; and for others it will be a focal point in conversations that can raise people’s consciousness of what’s going on.

      People are injured and killed by gun violence in the U.S. every day, and it barely makes the news because we’ve become numb to it and politicians fail to act. What makes this case any different?
