    Luigi's murder of Brian Thompson only accomplished one thing: it revealed to the world the people who are the most stupid, despicable, gullible, extreme-left idiots (those who actually endorse the murder).

    No, it showed we are at a tipping point where people feel that they are not being represented, and that the rich are screwing them over for their own benefit.

    And, they are right - whenever this happens, "Off with their heads" begins.....

    Our country has a bloody history, and will continue to have a bloody future until people feel they are safe from the tyranny that is going on by the elites in this country.

    Health insurance has no reason to exist, it costs and average of 8k a year per person, when a national healthcare program would cost around 2k, you literally save 6k a year by having a national healtcare program.

    But the Oligarths and elites don't want people to have it, they want people to keep working to keep them rich......and it is pissing people off, you can choose to ignore it, but that is what is happening and will get worse.

    And don't suddenly act like you have a shred of integrity when you voted for a convicted felon, anyone with an ounce of decency would never vote for a man who raped women, stole from a children's charity, money laundered, was impeached twice and has been a crook his entire life, so save the fake indignation, no one cares.

    I'm confused.
    Leftists are for gun control but will make exceptions if the person gunned down is a wealthy head of a company????
    I'm having a tough time making sense of it.

    BTW, I'm no gun dude, have never owned anything but a Marlin .22
    And a Mossberg shotgun for duck hunting.
    But I'm curious.

    How many guns did the guy in Germany use to injure and kill innocent people during a season of celebration.

    Gun control is not Gun elimination - now is it?.....come on you are being willfully ignorant here.

    How many children must be shot with a gun meant ONLY to kill humans, and not hunting before they get it out of societies hands?

    As for the topic of this thread, everyone has a breaking point, maybe we should create a society which doesn't push people to that point.

    I don't think 99.99% of people have a 'criteria' to kill. It's usually an accident or part of a fight or flight reflex.

    I dunno, if your children were denied healthcare by some bureaucrat and as a result they died, I could see it tipping some parents over the edge in a revenge type of scenario, and personally if that happened, I would find it very hard to convict them.

    I don't know about the percentages...but we must never forget that there are a LOT of people in this world who want to kill you.
    They hate you because of your religion, your politics, your ideologies, your skin color, your gender, your possessions, your lifestyle...As long as there are differences among you, there will be people who are prejudiced against you because of those differences. And many of them want to kill you for it.

    ...and then there are some who want to kill you simply because they enjoy it.

    Violent revolutionary behavior is one response by a person being unable to reach a desired, perceived fair/deserved result via the system of rules that they have to work within. Their paradigm shifts, they see a course forward that is best achieved with violence.

    You are partially correct, almost every time there is an emotional element to it. 'I was in such utter pain that I couldn't sleep or move for days at a time. I have insurance and have followed every rule and guideline and am denied basic pain care' or 'my child died and I have insurance and have followed every rule and guideline and was denied basic lifesaving healthcare'. They are raw, desperate and want to affect change, and there is an element of justification (to them) involved.

    The percentage is very, very low, of people who actively, consciously have a 'criteria' for killing. We don't think about it. We aren't wired that way.

    I was referring to the society we live in, the USA. Yes, there are areas of the world where a white American man walking into town gets shot. Areas in the USA, too, but I've been to some places in the states where crackers don't go and lived to tell the tale; it's more about your attitude and reading the situation in those areas than anything else.

    So in the USA, it's pretty slim. However, 99.99% might be a little low. That's 800k people out of 8b worldwide that have 'criteria' to kill. BUT, removing the soldiers and people who have been in war, counting gang war, trained police forces, highly trained martial artists, and, as I guess I forgot to think about this the first time around, anyone who has done hard time in a bad prison, 800k in western first-world countries still seems high for people who actually walk around going 'I will kill them if they check these boxes'

    Lots of variables but I'm thinking about my own society, since it impacts me. The calculus would be much different if I lived in a different country.

    I disagree
    Most people don't give a RAT'S ASS about you
    They don't hate you because 1. they don't know you 2. they got other **** to do 3. they are mor eindifferent

    NOW - Those at he top who have a distinquint use and need for people to hate each other
    definitely stoke it . . .spark it. . and publicize it
    They hate what our government have done on our behalf
    They hate what they PERCEIVE is our hate of them so they may hate in return

    Generally Speaking - When most groups grab someone an "make an example" of them
    Hostages etc . . .. it is rarely about hating that particular person . . . they are usually just wrong place wrong time
    I honestly don't think Luigi was much difference . . . . I don't think he hated that particular Health Insurance guy
    but the generalized group

    The courts are the ones who ultimately determine that right?

    But…..

    The far left will sympathize for non-whites only. They are only interested in the story if a white person kills a minority and they don’t care what the circumstances were, they will condemn the white person instantly. Black on black murder or black on white murder doesn’t concern them. In fact, even an illegal alien killing an American just doesn't move the needle for them. It has to be a white person killing a minority.

    Most educated people don't see skin color as any sort of contextual reason.

    People are people, why should it be......

    He is a psychopath and nothing more. He just wanted a reason to kill someone. There is nothing noble in his actions or fate. People defending him think life is a movie. They think like children.

    So I'm assuming you credit the negotiation skills of Kathy Hochel in Anthem reversing their decision not to cover anesthesia medication the day after the assassination?

    Are you a Palestinian or Kurd or a oil and gas executive or a health insurance executive or a rental property real estate tycoon?


    If not then I'm assuming you have delusions of grandeur in regards to how important you feel and how much people care about you existence.
