    Something tells me that there was something wrong with the killer. There are some killers that kill it's that they are sick or insane when they do it. They should be locked away for the rest of their lives. Simple as that.

    Man, they're hammering this guy.

    I thought NY didn't have 1st degree murder charges except for when the victim is LEO or something like that. At least that's what I was told.

    Deserved. He is garbage.

    A know nothing fool who so easily justifies the death of someone.

    But the anger against the health insurance companies is justified:

    Brian Thompson is responsible for FAR more American deaths than Osama bin Laden could ever have hoped to be. This sick CEO SOB preyed on the weakest, most desperate of Americans, those most in need of help. We all cheered When Bin Laden was assassinated. Why are we not charging these CEOs as terrorists??? Instead we are charging the guy who killed a guy that is worse than a terrorist...as a terrorist? How the hell does that make sense?

    If you have evidence that Thompson was at Pol Pot level of mass murder, I would like to see it, but as to your confusion as to why a murder would be charged with murder...well if that doesn't make sense to you I don't know how to explain it.

    So, thousands of dead Americans isn't enough for you? I guess you don't know anyone who has been denied healthcare on BS grounds? and I said Bin Laden, i'm not sure where you got Pol Pot. This guy is responsible for more dead Americans than Bin Laden, and you are ok with that? Maybe when it is your loved ones being denied critical health care coverage you will change your tune.

    This is an unhealthy attitude. It’s sick, really. Murder isn’t a solution.

    I totally agree. I don't approve of murdering the CEO. And I sure as hell do not approve of what that CEO was responsible for. ****ing disgusting.

    You absolutely do not sound like you agree. You sound like you are one of the sick people celebrating the murderer.

    No, I am not at all. But, I am glad that it shined a spotlight on the sick practices of the Health insurance industry and big pharma.

    You sound like you are one of the sick people that are just fine and dandy with the massive body count that these health insurance companies have incurred. Preying on Americans that pay their hard earned cash into these insurance companies, if they can afford insurance at all, only to have care denied when they really need it. 45,000 people die annually on average due to being denied coverage. United Health in particular denied 1/3 of all coverage claims. !/3. That is ****ing insane, and is infinitely worse than what the assassin did.

    So, are you one of the sick people not condemning the practices of health insurance companies?

    I fully agree that assassination is not the answer, but if the government does not fix this problem, it is going to get a lot worse as vigilantism skyrockets. You can only push people so far, and squeeze so much money out of them without upholding your end of the bargain. You can only let so many innocents die before the people snap.

    I recently started a thread on the foul practices of these companies.

    There are lots of reasons for claims to be denied, so what are the reasons that Thompson denied them that killed apparently thousands of people? I asked for some sort of evidence in my last post.

    When Medicare and Medicaid refuses to pay for something, are they also murders? For example, Chiquita Brooks-LaSure is the head administrator for CMS. How many people has she murdered? Would you applaud if she was shot dead in the streets?

    No, I have not and will not applaud anyone being killed, for the tenth time. That INCLUDES health care insurance, be they medicare, medicaid, United Healthcare, Tricare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, or whatever else there is out there denying coverage that doctors say is necessary to prevent suffering or death.

    We are the ONLY country in the developed western world that does not have universal healthcare, and we are nowhere near the top of the pile in terms of quality of health care, unless you happen to be very rich. I cannot for the life of me understand why so many say it is "impossible" here in the USA to make healthcare a basic human right. It is obscene and pathetic. We should be leading the world in the quality of our healthcare to our citizens. Instead, we are trailing in the back of the pack.

    OK so you are going to simply ignore my questions.

    Then what in the world are you complaining about? I've already stated a dozen times that I don't approve of murdering healthcare CEOs, so I am not sure what your beef is about then.
