I imagine one person goes with jury nullification and votes not guilty.

Power move

Attempt to destabilize

Test case to see how nuts social media and mass media follows it

Test case if America will cannibalize itself with chaos and internal theories.

Deemed a success thus far.

I’m skeptical because I don’t find the passing of a ceo to be destabilizing.

+1 and America was already cannibalizing itself — if anything, this event united the country, as people across the political spectrum have had dreadful encounters with insurers.

That’s a good way of putting it. No one love health insurance companies.

That is about the only thing conservatives and liberals can agree on! I was talking about this with my “Fox News is not conservative enough” (really) aunt and uncle and their reaction was “the CEO had it coming.” Outside truly bleeding hearts, his fellow industry vultures and the man’s family and friends nobody is anything but gleeful or indifferent about the murder.

Agree. Very few people on either side are bothered by this. It’s truly bipartisan. At best, the vase majority of ordinary people on the right or left are indifferent.

If Americans are indifferent when literal children are gunned down in schools, why would anyone care about a CEO? This is what the people in power want- indifference.

It's not indifference that someone was killed. It's indifference that a a greedy scumbag was killed, and that (perhaps) a killer would get away with it, because karma. Because nothing of value was lost. Just like many other CEO's think when regular people suffer.

I don't feel indifferent. Murder is wrong. He should not have shot Brian Thompson.

Yes, murder is wrong.

But when it comes to killing someone complicit and responsible for the suffering and deaths of so many... well that's where the indifference comes from. I certainly don't feel bad for Thompson.

Would anyone feel bad if Hitler had been murdered?

ok hitler is too much , but brian Thomspson killed a lot more people than Al Capone. Should people have been sad if capone had been murdered? Al Capone also ran soup kitchens before anyone else did in the poor areas of Chicago, brian thimspon never even did that much good in the world. Capone was arrested but if he'd been shot on the street, noone would mourn Capones death, and he killed a lot less people than the CEO of a health insurance company does. We already live in a society where 5 year old kids learn how to play dead in school before they learn their ABCs. So pretty lawless.

I don’t wish that he was killed but I feel indifferent to someone who made millions of dollars off of misery to others. His $10 million dollar salary wasn’t even enough so he engaged in insider trading. How much money, how many homes, how many cars are enough for one person?

And this is exactly why people are rooting for Thompsan's shooter to get away with it.

I’m not. I don’t want to pay for your IVF or expensive birth control, but Pelosi and Co. force me to.

Cool I don't want to pay for your boner pills or anti-obesity drugs, but health insurance is about different strokes for different folks.

While we're at it, I don't want to pay for your sports injuries. If you choose to play baseball/football/soccer and took a ball to the face, that should be elective.

This this this.

People jumping off of mountains and then expecting everyone else to pay the bills.

Deal, if we stop paying for pregnancies and childbirths of the 3rd or more child. I don't want to pay for your choice to overpopulate the planet.

He took a bus and they don’t know where. He’s not in NYC anymore.

The gun is probably either with the shooter, destroyed or super inaccessible like the bottom of the Hudson

And I think it's pretty telling that the CEO response is not "How can we behave more ethically?" but "How can we beef up our personal security?"
