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.
I actually agree with you, but I don’t see the regulation playing out in our favor. If anything, any future regulation will only increase the despotism against the 99%, which will in turn result in more of this. The other comments regarding the right to bear arms, and the founding concepts of throwing off despotism seem to be at play here. Instead of killing the lawmakers, this assassination went right to the source, corporations.
It wasn’t “right” for the continental army to shoot and kill british soldiers either, but it was also very very right to wage that war.
