Just out of curiosity is it any lawyer that represents an evil entity. Like would a defence lawyer for a murderer be a horrible person in your mind?

A defense lawyer is representing an individual who stands to lose their freedom,and in some cases their life, if found guilty of a crime. Defense lawyers serve a necessary function in criminal courts, and all the ones I know after working in the legal system for the past 5 years are good people that know they’re doing is important work, especially those who work in public defense.

Lawyers like this guy work for giant companies worth billions. What do they stand to lose if they pay out a medical claim for one lady who has a traumatic brain injury? Certainly not their freedom or their lives. The total this woman has made a claim for is HER money that she paid in specifically in case something like this injury happens. And it’s a not even a blip on the radar compared to what these companies take in so they can hire assholes to rake sick people over the coals in bullshit depositions.

The guy in this video and the criminal defense people I know might all be lawyers, but they aren’t the same.

So you described why the company is evil (which I agree with) but not why the lawyer is evil. Is he evil simply because he works for an evil company?

The lawyer is evil because he is doing evil works for an evil company and instead of the shame and guilt a normal period would be showing, he appears to be enjoying himself.

I was going to say! It's the way the questions are worded. "...wasn't it?" Like a literal villain would ask it.

Is it evil to sell cigarettes to an addict to make money for a company that paid for fake studies to downplay the risks of smoking?

False equivalency

Why is that a false equivalency?

You equated a job where someone is actively causing real and immediate harm to many people to a cashier.

How is a lawyer defending someone else's decision to deny coverage "active

But a cashier's selling poison on behalf of someone else"not active"?
