    The hero we deserve is pretty popular. Who woulda thought. I do not advocate his method. I simply like that people feel represented.

      I would never advocate his method as a first option, but it’s not like the healthcare companies just now started hurting people. Lots of people over lots of time, eventually that distills into one shot of very strong liquor

        Yep. How many decades are people supposed to wait while they see that their votes never get them any sort of change no matter which of the two corporatist parties who take money from that industry are in charge? If voting and protesting doesn’t work, what option is left?

        At least Mangione did something, and he did it at great personal sacrifice.

        I do advocate his methods. I hope he inspires many more heroes. I hope 2025 is the year of many more dead parasites.

          I think your post might be illegal speech in most of the U.S. as inciting violence. Take care of yourself.

            Oh… seems I totally made some typos in that last post. I totally meant to say I do not condone this super cool guy’s actions, and obviously who doesn’t want to see a bunch of dead parasites. Nobody likes bedbugs and tapeworms.

      Stop saying you don’t advocate it. There is seriously nothing wrong with killing people who hurt other people, especially for profit. There is nothing wrong with advocating for their death, after literally everything else has failed.

      I really hope this becomes as frequent as school shootings. Maybe those school shooters will find a more appropriate way to vent whatever that crap is.

        I don’t want to get banned or have my post removed. I say the words that help prevent that from happening. I may say different words when I’m in private spaces.

        I disagree. I think it’s perfectly fine to be against the death penalty, which is basically what this was, minus the judicial process.

          So what do you think should happen to people who kill people through policy and are not ever going to be prosecuted? Those people will never get justice, but you seem to be fine with that?

            I’m not fine with it personally. I think bad people at the very least need to be kept in check.

            I do think that being against the death penalty is a valid opinion. “An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind” and such.

              So let people indirectly kill people for profit while doing nothing because you’re too moral to poke their eye out?
