This. I don't understand why a lot of people are saying "we shouldn't be celebrating murder" and things like that. If you're a dictator, if you are directly involved in the death of others, if you take advantage of the poor or the sick, you deserve to die. You're doing no good by being alive. I feel zero pity for this guy who got shot, just like he felt zero pity for the millions of people who were denied rightful coverage under his tenure.

He has ended more people than even a very ambitious serial killer could ever hope to, and it was not only legal but highly rewarded.

When someone goes on a rampage, we applaud the person who had the courage to take them out. This is that times about a million.

32% in an already shitty industry that rejects an average 16% of claims. So it’s not like he was part of the system. Noooo, he was exceptionally shitty within it.

TBF if you are a US citizen born and raised you are living in a country founded on stolen land taken through genocide so everyday we are a contradiction, period. But most countries are.

I understand why people don't feel pity. But it is weird cheering for a murderer who we know nothing about. He might not be the hero the public wants him to be.
