I’m not shedding any tears for Brian Thompson, but I would much prefer to see the CEOs and other C-Suite leaders held criminally and civilly responsible for the harms they cause. With the government coming in things will be getting worse for most Americans. The smoke and mirrors of culture wars will eventually cease to work, and I would expect to see similar attacks at some point in the future. When people feel their life isn’t worth living, when they have no hope and nothing to lose, violence becomes an acceptable option to them.

It's the result of people feeling like the system is rigged against them and it needs a democratic escape vent or people turn to pitchforks and guillotines. This is a dangerous time when a person, say a CEO, can be dehumanized and seen as a symbol of what is wrong with the system.
No, I do not support murdering CEOs. They are people with families and made their way through the system like everyone else.
MAGAs want to eat the rich but they venerate actual billionaires. Make it make sense.
I don’t actually see MAGAs hating billionaires. They’re capitalists and believe wealth is a direct result of how hard you work.
Also a large dash of believing they will be rich, too, one day.

We do not solve problems with guns. The gun culture in this country is insane.
You also blame cars for drunk drivers, right?![]()
No but we have licensing requirements and DUI checkpoints and traffic courts and mandatory insurance coverage, etc. for cars. That would be a start with guns.
There are more than 20,000 federal, state and local gun laws already on the books in this country. I think there’s already plenty of laws. And your president just pardoned his own crack-addled son for violating several federal gun laws. So spare us the “we need more laws crap. You won’t even enforce the thousands of laws already in place, but you want more? Hell no. Go away.

However I'd ask the question back: is the healthcare insurance industry specifically right in denying 33% of all claims based on a system (AI) that is statistically proven wrong awhile innocents have died and/or suffered immensely? If so, why have they been able to continue without reprimand?
We just SAW what a “reprimand” looks like.
If things don’t start to change, there will be additional such reprimands. It’s up to the industry now. Ball is in their court.
So you believe in fairytale?
Because that's pretty much what that idea is, even with additional "reprimands."
You can't shoot a corporation and really there is no need for them to have their CEOs based in the U.S.
