      The CEO was killed because of an ongoing harm he was doing. Kirk was killed because someone didnt like what he was saying. If you dont see the difference, well, you might be the dumbest cunt on here yet.

        The US government does not believe the CEO was doing harm.

        You distinguish a difference between the two but the US government does not.

        Furthermore, an insurance claimant (i.e. someone actively being denied healthcare by insurance) was detained for using the words “delay, deny, depose” on the phone. This was under the previous administration. But both administrations agree with the arrest.

          The US government is corrupt as fuck. I care more about the contents of the toilet paper after wiping my arse, than I do whatever that gaggle of corrupt cave brain cunts has to say.

            That is true. However this makes my comment still stand:

            They [US government, Opposition Leader] didn’t do this [threaten people over sympothizing with the shooter] with the United Healthcare CEO.

        Hey champ, the ceo also only using his words to do harm.

        If you think one person’s use of words meant he deserved death and another person’s use of words is incapable of doing the same, that makes no sense.

      He wasn’t actually on a political side, exactly. And was probably utterly replaceable, too.

      I was impressed with how well thought out Mangione’s attack was, and it feels unfair his eyebrows gave him away in the end, but I’m not sure the target was particularly justifiable or worth the effort.
