    There is only so much someone with a business education be educated on. Those degrees are more meant for networking than obtaining technical knowledge or critical thinking skills.

    Are you actually typing sincerely now?

    You a grown ass man and can't keep up with basic deductive reasoning? Come on. Be frank. You believe being an edgelord is the ultimate form of intelligence?

    Well Hell's bells, they put "Defense" in their name, obviously all they do is defend! Just like those National Socialists and all the socialism they did--things are so much simpler than I ever realized.

    I'm glad North Korea reformed into a Democratic Republic.

    This guy is apparently not going silently - this story may go on for awhile unless the media (both online and offline) decide to completely not cover it.

    At this point his best defense is being public as possible and hope the media capitulates to where almost any potential jury pool is going to be tainted with at least one person who thinks the murder was justified. His good looks and ability to articulate well will help.

    It just takes one jury member to not agree to a guilty verdict to go to mistrial.

    You didn't, though. You talked tough about a thing that you almost certainly didn't do. You're just trying to make points as a "social justice warrior" on a message board.

    Reread my message again, I'm not trying to make you "feel bad" for whatever beliefs you've got. I'm anti-murder, without being pro-insurance CEOs, but your belief structure is whatever it is. I'm just saying that spouting tough words on a message board doesn't do a damn thing to fix a broken system. And neither does some rich kid killing a CEO, or his hero the Unabomber planting explosives. It's all going to blow over by the next news cycle, and this kid will get life in prison.

    I question how much of a platform he will have to convey his message.

    I don't see a 6 month trial with him in the news everyday. I would suspect it would be quite a short trial all things considered.

    What are you trying to accomplish now?

    Why do you think I'm trying to change the world by typing here? Is that an assumption I can make of you then? What are you trying to solve here by trying to portray sincere anger over dudes who skim billions of dollars so they can deny kids on chemo Anti-Nausea medication as merely someone trying to puff up their chest?

    No I will never do what this dude did. The dude obviously has a lack of self preservation skills. No **** he'll get life in prison if found guilty. I have self preservation instincts. I'm too much of a coward to throw my life away to spark violence against a deserving class of people who probably need a wake up call to the suffering they are causing.


    Your attempt at trying to portray hatred of health insurance CEOs as a "tough guy act" says more about you than me because it shows that every aspect of societal discussion you eventually resort to "you think you a tough guy huh. Let me show you tuff!" Basically you enter every discussion here not with sincere ideological beliefs and trying to express them but rather a desire to prove who's dick is girthier.


    No I'm not expressing my my lack of sympathy for the death of a healthcare CEO because I want to be seen by clutch fans posters as "hard". But you projecting that thought into me says a lot about your motivations entering any political discussion

    Someone in indie media might give him a direct line and broadcast everything. Too much money to be made off him.

    Also quick question. Do you think it was the amazing work of Kathy Hochel that made Anthem reverse their decision on reducing coverage on anesthesia the day after a health insurance CEO got wacked?

    He's all in on the conjugal visits. Going for the Ted Bundy angle.

    Nah, I don't do any of the things you say. And I'm not trying to portray anything. Murders happen every day where the victim is a pos and yet those are still prosecuted and convicted. Even when I don't feel much sympathy for the person killed, I sympathize for the family they left behind. You can feel different, you do you. You'll probably feel very sorry for the murderer when he gets convicted, and I won't. We can agree to disagree. It's weird though, I don't remember any of this angst about CEOs and wanting to doxx them before December 4. It's all jumping on board whatever the current media story is, until there's something else that distracts people.

    The death of the CEO already caused another insurance company to back off on limiting anesthesia during operation against the wishes of doctors. If the asshats at the top felt any real kind of pressure things would change.

    I am curious to see what we will find out. Judging from his shouting, he seems quite self-righteous. Will be interesting.

    It was probably the media coverage and not the death of the CEO, per se. Plus, it was a rule that was going to apply only in three states, two of which had already blocked its implementation. Really wasn't worth the negative PR for them. A very small drop in the bucket in terms of change.
