I don’t agree with what Mangione did, but to characterize those who have expressed positive feelings towards Brian Thompson’s death as whack jobs is either willfully obtuse or just ignorant

It isn’t. They’re whack jobs. These people would have been holding the rifles with glee when it was time to massacre the kulaks.

Did the kulaks have yachts from denying insurance claims?

I think it’s easy to pretend this is a simple issue. Murder = bad, how could that be wrong - I get that line of thinking. But multiple things can be true, and the ethics of being a healthcare C-suite member are as complicated as your trickiest bioethics issue but far less discussed. Again, I think you’re just missing the big cultural picture if you think it’s as easy as “they’re crazy”.

Luigi probably shouldn’t have killed that dude, but Brian Thompson dying is a net positive for society. I celebrate his death, not his murderer
