    So marines bombing children are heroes, but people removing mass murderers from society are the devil’s incarnates. Got it.

    THERE were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.

    He was a Corporate Serial Killer for profit, whose income rose with every person he denied care to, and increased their suffering. Luigi was protecting society from this Murderous Sociopath, and he deserves a medal and a reward.

      Don’t forget that the fact that when he was alive he was pushing that denial for care window more and more to the right.

      I forget the exact % but I remember seeing a chart where UHC was around 15% and the rest of the health insurance was closer to 5-7% denial. He was actively giving cover for others to do worse.

      The Ju$tice System in America has become a system to protect murderers from the righteous retribution from Society for their deeds.

      In other words, the very opposite of Justice.

    Violence is not a cause.

    Holy strawman, Batman. Violence wasn’t the cause. Healthcare inequity was the cause. At least have the dignity to address the actual topic under dispute.

    Murder is not a message.

    Objectively false. State-sanctioned murders, in the form of executions or warfare, are emphatically meant to send the message “Do not fuck with the state.”

    A killer is certainly not a hero.

    Also a ludicrous statement. Killers are heroes all the time. Simo Häyhä killed over 500 people; are you going to say he’s not a hero? No? Well, then it seems we’re debating the context in which a killer can be a hero, and the word “certainly” doesn’t really apply.

    I’m not even totally cool with someone shooting an unarmed person in the street*, but if you’re going to speak out against it, you have a responsibility, especially as a high-ranking official, to make accurate, coherent, and reasoned arguments.

    *Not because you can’t make a moral calculus argument for it, because I think in a simple trolley problem kind of way, you actually can, but rather because I see it as more of an appalling yet inevitable symptom of an unacceptable system rather than a commendable act in and of itself.
