Surprised this hasn’t happened sooner, and at the risk of sounding callous I hope it happens more.
When all non-violent methods of bringing on systemic change fail, all you have left is violence. Perhaps if a few more CEOs got murdered they would think twice about eternal growth at any expense.
How many people have died or suffered as a result of UH’s strive for bigger profits.
It can’t just be CEO’s. While CEOs are certainly “no-angels” they are the public face of late-stage capitalism. Board Members and “share holders” who often don’t even have their name publicly associated with any industry of misery are the ones profiting from the existing misery. You have to get them all.
Absolutely not. Whether it was the reason behind it or not, this person and others like them earned such a fate. They are a menace to public health and they are consistently and knowingly complicit in many avoidable deaths and widespread suffering as a result of their actions. I am critical of this kind of action in the sense that I don’t think it’s a viable strategy for producing change and improving society, but I’m as critical of this assassination as I am of the many assassination attempts on Hitler.
Shame on anyone who defends such anti-social humans.
WTF do you mean they lead a company, the company earns profits by exploiting workers. Not only this but this is a healthcare company, and so they also make money by refusing needed health coverate and nickle and diming coverage causing people to either go without the care they need to live, or go into debt, either way deaths are on his hands
Their decisions, as a Chief Executive Officer in a national healthcare company, have the power to ruin lives on a systematic level. Their abuse of their social role results in adverse health outcomes, financial debt, poverty and resulting starvation of families on a scale of millions. And they have willingly and knowingly done this for the sake of profit, for greed. Whether what they do is legal or not is completely irrelevant in the real world, whether they are directly violent or legally coercive doesn’t change the reality, the bottom line is their actions have the same kind of health and financial effects as a violent thug robbing innocent victims, except on a scale of millions. That is systematic oppression.
Can you do that to people? Not even a disgusting school shooter does as much damage as this CEO does each month. They are not a regular person. They mass murder people, indirectly and legally.

Shame on you for wishing murder on people.
John Brown did nothing wrong, when someone is killing through there actions and hyper exploiting, there death is justified.

Why would wishing murder on oppressors make someone bad? This isn’t some regular person.
A CEO of a company isn’t an oppressor. They’re a regular person.

You’re confusing a person with a profession you don’t like.
No I’m not.
He has power to stop this, he did not, he is profiting from this system, he is one of the many people at fault.
If I was wishing death on Hitler in the ‘40s, would that also make me a bad person?
Where is the line?
