    Yeah… I can’t blame them, the apathy is real on this one, lots of people get murdered everyday, they don’t get this coverage, I don’t care more because this guy was a rich CEO, feels like the media is overhyping it because the rich are scared that some folks are deciding they need to water the tree of liberty. Pretty sure this is only going to get worse as people get squeezed more and more.

    I’m not blanket saying assassination is ok, but I’m also not saying I couldn’t consider voting to acquit this guy for jury nullification purposes if I were on the jury.

      It’s not even apathy for a lot of people. It’s jubilation that someone whose wealth directly came from making others’ lives shorter and more miserable got his life shortened.

          Because if you already know the trolley problem, you already know the whole content of the post. If you don’t, now you do.

      Honestly, the more coverage of this the better. Let’s set the president that bad CEO decisions might result in your death.

      I had UHC but I’m generally healthy so I either had no claims or none denied, but I’ll still contribute to his legal defense.

    New York City experiences hundreds of murders annually. The real question is whether the NYPD will dedicate an equal amount of resources and effort towards solving the murder of a CEO compared to other homicides. Does the life of a wealthy individual hold more importance than those of ordinary citizens?

        you know you can help by explaining the error after your remark, right?

        to @reagansrottencorpse@lemmy.ml

        Won’t somebody think of the poor CEO’s?!

        you probably meant “CEOs” as in referring to the plural of “CEO”. when you use “CEO’s”, you are using a possessive form to refer to a CEO as in “CEO’s lack of dignity” or “a CEO’s rolling head”
