Why should anyone care? He killed a ceo. That's all that matters really.
Humans like to understand contexts and motives. The fact that the wealth of the CEO comes from the same place as the wealth of his family is interesting to understand how he got radicalized and why he chose that target.
I can't believe I have to explain that.
It seems to me like it's a way to try and undermine the legitimacy of his action. But ok.
You gotta explain how that would undermine the legitimacy of his action.
Because people would see him as a hypocrite?
People don't see Engels and Castro as hypocrites, even though the former was a bourgeois and the family of the latter was landowners.
If anything, it gives him more legitimacy because his close relation to the health industry gives him a better understanding of the damages it does, and because his family would be directly negatively affected if that industry collapsed, so his act was definitely selfless.
