Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted?
Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted?
This is a genuine question.
I have a hard time with this. My righteous side wants him to face an appropriate sentence, but my pessimistic side thinks this might have set a great example for CEOs to always maintain a level of humanity or face unforseen consequences.
P.S. this topic is highly controversial and I want actual opinions so let's be civil.

Yes, of course
I don't want to live in a world of vigilantes, we don't want Batman, we don't want to need batman either
So having said that, CEO's should also be jailed for deaths they cause. If you cause a dozen deaths through purposeful decisions, you usually wouid get the chair so for this particular CEO would need a LOT of chairs to kill him a thousand times.
It's time to stop treating killings by man as a heavy crime and killings by a company as a misdemeanor
Vigilante Justice in this case seems a lot better than police justice. How many people do cops murder in cold blood each year?
How many people do cops murder in cold blood each year?
A lot.
How many billionaires have cops ever murdered in cold blood?
None.
Teo wrongs don't make a right. Fix the CEO issue, fix the police officer issue. Vigilantism is not the solution.
I get it, and this guy certainly deserved what came for him, but it's not right, it's not the solution. I don't want to love in a world where we just start vendettas ourselves
I'm more a star trek (classic) guy than a bat man guy, so to speak
It's so confusing to me how you can be pro corporate- and police-reform, yet against vigilantism. Were you paying attention the last 4 years?
We had a broad based popular movement for police reform resulting in a mass popular uprising. People went so far as large scale property destruction in the name of reforming the police. A large majority of the population supported the movement at one point. And what did all that nonviolent effort get us? Not a speck of police reform to be found anywhere in this country.
Saying you want police reform through nonviolent means is a utopian vision, just like star trek. Come back to reality, read some history, the only way to reform these entrenched systems of power is through violence.
We don't need Batman, at this point, we need Manchester Black.
