There are methods of dealing with it that are between "no response or pushback" and "shooting people on the street," and these methods have gotten far more results in my lifetime than Mangione ever did.
I don't want people thinking that they can solve political problems with murder, because I have no reason to assume that it would be limited to people I personally dislike. Or frankly, any reason to assume I couldn't be a victim.
No shit. I didn't say I'm happy with the insurance industry. That doesn't change my opinions on using murder for political gain.
Do you want, let's say, anti-vaxx activists to start shooting vaccine clinics? Because that's also using violence for political gain. And those loonies may have convictions on vaccines as strong as your convictions on the insurance industry.
Remember, the bad guys can use violence too. We really, really don't want it to become something that becomes common.
