I mean that's a fair thought.
But even by USA capitalist standards, this specific man was a monster who in a just world wouldn't be allowed to be in charge of anything. The world is slightly better off without such a greedy and heartless man in it.

I am a pacifist, and I recognize the danger of encouraging/pardoning vigilantism. There are people I feel are heroes, who others view as villains. People should argue, debate, and put pressure as much as possible with non violence... but that is clearly not working for the ultra wealthy who are so insulated from 99.9% of what we can do.
The murdered man was, even by US capitalist standards, excessively evil. In a functioning and just system he would have had life in prison with no chance of parole for 1000+ counts of at the very least man slaughter for the millions of people whose health care was delayed or prevented. The world is a slightly better place without that level of extreme greed and heartlessness in it.
I also feel like the main point of prison "SHOULD" be Prevention and Rehabilitation. Which if the Attacker was personally harmed by a CEO and lashed out, I don't think prison can accomplish either for him. I guess the US gov probably disagrees and thinks he should be rehabilitated as someone who is okay with being exploited by CEOs.
But I do want all evidence laid out, I want a jury to determine if he's unhinged and a danger to others, or someone who was hurt on a fundamental level and lashed out. We of course assume it's the second one, but we don't know yet.
Juries and judges will sometimes use the kid gloves when dealing with people who kill their abusers, and I think a light sentence with the message of "murder is wrong... but so is allowing thousands to die to increase profits. So maybe don't be so evil people wouldn't mind giving up 10 years of their lives to see you removed from this world" would be fine.
... but also if this becomes another one of a million unsolved cases, I won't lose a wink of sleep about it.
Why do you hate capitalism and the free market 😭
I'm just doing what's best for the share holders!
Hear me out.
I'm gonna work to make health care more expensive, so you have to buy my service: "Make health care affordable"
Then, here's the best part.
To save money, even after you've purchased my service, I won't do that 😀
... Why are you mad, it's just good business😭 !
Guyyyyssss, the vote was yesterday!
Also how was that mess over 10 years ago and they still are in the "Finding out" portion of FAFO?
I'm not saying that if I was on a jury for the attacker I would vote not guilty.
But mostly because saying so would exclude me from ever being on a jury like that.
You'd fit right in on our discord server!
Not only do most of our blind community members love making jokes like that, or often times much more concerning one, you'll sit there very unsure on how to respond! The off topic channel is good fun all around!
Shout out to the scientists who study the reproductive pattern of certain insects for the sole purpose of wiping them out.
We see you scientists that are sterilizing trillions of bugs then releasing them into the wild. Your work is wild, weird, but very effective.
Haha, they have been trying to tell Twitter to do things, with some law suits out.
Which is why members of the US government are now threatening to leave NATO if they continue to bully twitter, since Elon is in charge of a quarter of our government.
I mean, how would you like them to monetize?
What they are planning sounds similar to discord nitro, which I think is fine.
Also in the article: " Regnier said the commission, the EU’s executive arm, had written to the 27 national governments to see “if they can find any trace of Bluesky” such as identifying a EU-based office. It has not yet contacted the company directly, he added. "
Like this is so nonsensical. Talking to press about a company having broken a rule even though they are not under your jurisdiction, but you haven't bothered to contact yet, is just wild.
If they reached out and said "Hey, before you reach these metrics you need to fulfill these requirements" and bluesky told them to pound sand, that'd be good to know.
But "Company who doesn't have to follow a rule is not following the rule, and we'd like them to, but haven't told them we'd like them to" is not news.
I'm aware of the NCIS scenes, what else you guys got?
