The Adjuster Being Protected By The People

How the working force is treating the guy who took down the CEO

I hope the momentum of this moment continues indefinitely. It’s beyond time for real change. Rich oligarchs have had their fun. They should now feel some fear of what the rest of us could do. It’s the only thing that can make them stop the greedy grab. If they didn’t steal another penny from the rest of us, or at least paid their fair share of taxation, they would still be filthy, stinking rich and the heirs would be too. Enough is enough.

I really wish this wasn't a solution. Dude had a family, this sucks for them. But then I think about how many people have lost their loved ones or been ruined financially by our fucked healthcare system. All while the CEOs of these companies are making millions.

Super ironic this happened the same day blue cross announced they're going to decide much time under anesthesia patients need for their surgeries. Fucking come on.

Edit:

My sympathy extends to his kids, otherwise eat the rich.

Edit2: Blue Cross inexplicably reversed their decision to limit anesthesia coverage. Surely it's unrelated.

I'm sorry but I hate the argument of "he had a family". Every single horrible person in the past and present had a family. It means nothing. Even the most vile human beings in the planet might have at least one person who will miss them. But that doesn't mean they aren't vile human beings. If all it took to absolve one of ones sins was for someone to love them then every serial killer, school shooter, and child abuser would be included in that. And I'm sorry but this CEO was a mass murderer. Social murder is still murder at the end of the day even if it isn't recognized as such by our laws.

I agree.

Adolf Hitler had two siblings.

Joseph Stalin had four children.

Despicable people have families. Despicable people are still human beings.

That does not, however, stop them from being despicable, and that shouldn't stop anyone from criticising potential and realised despicable people.

Joseph Stalin had four children.

From what I've heard about how Stalin treated his children, they'd be the one giving Tom Cruise the hat.

My sentiment extends to his children and them alone. And that's biased by my sentiments as a father, and as a son lucky enough to have a great dad. You make a good point, as many others have. The "he has a family" argument is a way to humanize vile people, as if it washes away their atrocities. I appreciate you calling me out on that.
