    Yes it’s definitely not humble and maybe a little self righteous to play god and take a life.

    Lots of people throughout history have been gunned down.

    Some where people have justifiably rejoiced.

    Some where people have justifiably been upset.

    And everything in between.

    Where does Brian Thomas land on that continuum? Depends on your perspective I suppose.

    In the logic of the leftists here, should the CEO of Lorien Health be shot?

    I think the "politics" came after the hand he was dealt.

    It looks like he's a sufferer of chronic back pain from a botched surgery. That kind of pain can drive people to drug addiction and/or suicide.

    Rather than falling into that spiral when his life held great promise and potential (rich family lineage, valedictorian, beginning of a high paying career w/ freedom to relocate), he chose the path of a martyr and focused his rage on the healthcare system that wronged him.

    Just a sidenote without any deeper meaning...At 50, that CEO was probably really really good at what he was doing. Even if you think society is extremely messed up, it's still society's loss of someone who also held great potential to contribute.

    This is such a lame talking point.

    What do the business interests of his father or extended family have to do with anything?

    He cannot control that.

    Looks like he is a direct or indirect shareholder.

    In the logic of the bloodthirsty, anti-capitalist leftists, why stop at murdering CEOs? Why not murder the shareholders, too?

    True but let's not forget that all those fat cat salaries and bonuses they pay out to themselves are also taken from revenue, not profit.
