        This is not legal advice, but i’m pretty sure it was simply murder.

        Hooray for murder‽

          There is no rule of law when legal change stops being an option. Like when cops kill people for being brown, this is an act of terror. It’s not ideal, but neither is capitalism that will never be peacefully stopped.

        Is empathy the reason you don’t murder? Hooray for murder if it’s someone I don’t like?

          Guillotines have been used effectively to enact change within deeply corrupt societies. It’s not about “someone (we) don’t like”. It’s about mass murder, and sending a message that people’s lives aren’t expendable so that executive bonuses and stock buybacks can be increased. It’s about the fact that working within the system as it stands currently has not worked. Just look at companies like Anthem, trying to put time limits on anaesthesia coverage. Why should we all sit idly by while the envelope keeps getting pushed further and further? Death is the only language these people understand.

            Never thought I’d live to be in a Lord of the flies situation. Y’all won’t convince me murder is good. Disgusting.

              Let me ask you, should the allies have stood by and done nothing while Hitler and the Nazi party exterminated people? Would you have shed a tear if Hitler were murdered by the allies? Do we not judge the german people of the era for not standing up to fight against tyranny? Was that a “Lord of the flies situation”?

              Just remember, the Nazi party started their genocide, by murdering the sick, and the disabled.

            • Murder isn’t necessarily good but I do in fact think it’s good when bad things happen to bad people. If you want to wring your hands over the death of him then go right ahead, the rest of us are quite happy with the state of affairs

      Murder isn’t fun, but someone sacrificing their future to put fear into the hearts of the rich is good. They’ve taken away any hope of reform to stuff their faces with more fruits of other people’s labor. They’re to blame for Trump, both the ones who supported him, and the ones who held back the Democrats from basic social democracy.

      They made sure we can’t live healthy lives, so we need to make sure they can’t either. They took our futures, so we must make sure they can’t buy one for themselves. They need to wake up and realize that they’re on this sinking ship with us. You need to realize that they’ll never help until there are more costs to not helping.
