It appears that in every thread about this event there is someone calling everyone else in the thread sick and twisted for not proclaiming that all lives are sacred and being for the death of one individual.

It really is a real life trolley problem because those individuals are not seeing the deaths caused by the insurance industry and not realizing that sitting back and doing nothing (i.e. not pulling the lever on the train track switch) doesn’t save lives…people are going to continue to die if nothing is done.

Taking a moral high ground and stating that all lives matter is still going to costs lives and instead of it being a few CEOs it will be thousands.

    Don’t worry he’ll be replaced with someone just as bad by the end of next week and they still have the same policies in place now that they did on Tuesday, it’s like the trolley problem but the “diversion” split the train so it could kill both sides of the track and they’ll recouple the cars on the other side.

      No, it sends a clear message that people are becoming willing to use force to stop injustice. When we did it in the late 1800’s, we got the weekend, the 8 hour work week, and we kept (white) kids out of the factories. They are not omnipotent, this killing is what the rich have been paranoid about for ever, they are terrified of this becoming a trend.

      Only when the powerful fear the people they relinquish their privilege.
