People aren’t happy someone was murdered. People are happy that the physical representation of an industry that should prioritize health and treatment but only prioritizes profit got what it probably had coming to it.
Dunno what made you think people aren’t happy he was murdered. I’m quite pleased that he got what was coming to him. He has destroyed countless families and relationships. The only injustice is that we can’t reanimate his corpse and kill him again.

I’m kinda happy. Hope it happens more too. Aaaand ima get banned aren’t I?
I for one wholeheartedly endorse this violence for it’s reasons.
I mean fuck it. Reddit banned me for endorsing violence with a tongue in cheek comment that really didn’t endorse shit despite how I made and grew one of the most famous subreddits.
Nothing is safe when a dude over there can make rotten decisions you can’t physically do shit about. I’m gonna support the “physically do shit about it” people. Getting banned from Reddit did my health wonders.
Those fuckers banned me for “inciting violence” when I made a joke about melting guns down into bullets, and “glorifying violence” when I said I think it’s funny when conservatives die from drinking listeria milk.
I’m with you. I’m glorifying this violence, and I hope the gunman never gets caught. If he does, catch me donating to his defense fund.
I’ll give a shit about Thompson’s family grieving the day the day that no American dies from lack of access to insulin. How many grieving families do these whiny fucking centrists ignore every six minutes on average?
not ne… your .world yeah your banned
RIP ur account when an admin sees it
No mods, I didnt see any comment.
Nah, this ain’t lemmy.world.
For the record I’m very happy about this.
both your accounts are on world, though, and at this point i honestly wouldn’t be shocked to hear that you woke up tomorrow to find you could no longer log in
What do you mean both? I only have one account.
You and the guy you’re replying to
Oh, duh. Sorry.
Aaaand ima get banned aren’t I?
What is this, reddit.com? There’s no bourgeois advertisers or venture capitalists to appease here. [0]
edit: just noticed your account is registerd on lemmy.world… consider exploring other instances just in case they get out the banhammer. but, I mean, they can’t ban all of you.
least rabid ml user:
haha rabid in what way?
It was a PERSON that was murdered.
He wasn’t a rock?!??
Yeah, but the person was a murderer to begin with.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ people die everyday
Right? Fuck people
Sometimes they die because the health insurance that they pay for gets rejected.
nah
I mean, sort of.
How many people died to make his company more money?
A person? No, it was lots of people who were murdered. Fortunately, they got the guy who was doing it.
The person who murdered the CEO has not been caught so you are wrong.
Is it murder to shoot someone who’s in the process of murdering people in order to stop them from committing murder?
To be that cold blooded he was definitely a reptile of some sort.
He was a person. Dehumanizing him like you did is similar to how Hitler dehumanized people. Congrats on being like Hitler.
You are being like Hitler too.
Is your retort the 8-year old version of “I know you are but what am I?”
No.
“LiTERalLy HiTleR”
Let’s not offend reptiles like this. Cockroaches, maybe.
Yeah you’re right, I’ve handled wild garter snakes that are more nice then that guy.
Doubt
Protip: knowing how to type while holding SHIFT does not make you CORRECT.
Morally not condoning murder of an innocent makes me correct.
Feel free to not condonde the murder of an innocent all you want, but that’s another case, not this one.
nooo how dare you push the lever :(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_murder
So were all the people who died from denied care so he could buy a yacht or fourth house or whatever.
I’m not entirely convinced that billionaires should be considered human
Maybe people shouldn’t consider you human.
If he ever starts hoarding piles of gold like an angry dragon, you may have a point
Sounds like you care about someone very rich and very exploitative, and you don’t like the idea of scores of people cheering in the event they’d have the same done to them by someone they’d exploited.
I want to assure you that we do not care about your feelings. We’ll celebrate their passing and few will sympathize with your grief.
I don’t agree with innocent people being gunned down for no reason.
“For no reason?” Were you hatched yesterday, or something?
I’m gonna guess you’re not worried about someone else, you’re feeling some kind of guilt about exploiting a lot of people.
Neither do I. Hence I celebrate that he was gunned down for good yes reason.
It’s sick to think there’s people like you in the world who condone killing innocent people just because you don’t like them.
43 millionaire. He was 957 million short of his first billion. He was comfortably in the top 1%, but not anywhere close to the top .1%.
He wasn’t a billionaire. Not even close.
And, for an instant, she stared directly into those soft blue eyes and knew, with an instinctive mammalian certainty, that the exceedingly rich were no longer even remotely human.
Gibson, Count Zero
It was a PERSON that was murdered.
So was Jeffrey Dahmer.
Brian had a way higher k/d ratio though, so thats really unfair to Jeffrey.
The kind of PERSON who celebrates profiting off of making people suffer by snorting coke off his buddies cocks. Deny, defend, depose.
I’m glad he was offed. People like that simply don’t deserve to live. If you despise human life, why should yours be respected at all?
This coming from a non-american, anti-religious misanthropist.
And it also shows the rich getting to experience the find out part after constantly fucking around.
I’m just here so I don’t get fined
It’s not funny it’s 🥾⏳
Boot time?
Say it like a Canadian. It’s aboot time.
Ahhhhhhhh I see
I work in the insurance industry (though not directly for an insurance company) and while it’s a small sample size, employees there range from apathetic to rolling their eyes at the “poor CEO needing money for his funeral”
Insurance is a gamble with money. Noone cares. Health-insurance is a gamble with life. If you work for Hitler, you are Hitler. At least the nazis back then could blame it on cluelessness and not knowing. You can’t. If you meant THIS kind of insurance.
Really puts me in the Christmas spirit
Thank you for the giggle kind stranger.
The problem is that now the rest of them will fortress up making it much harder.
But this will cost them. Make it so expensive that they won’t gain anything.
That’s 50/50. At some point a guard will say it’s not worth it.
I really wondering if the detectives in charge of the investigation are bring their A-game or if maybe they have a loved one who was denied coverage.

I don’t think it’s funny, more like it feels good to see an atom of justice done for once. One murder changes nothing, it has no value as far as changing the system, but the symbolic value is through the roof.
Here’s the thing: even if we change the healthcare system tomorrow, they get to keep their billions. We can change the system, but there will be no justice because one of the principles of our legal system is that justice isn’t retroactive. So seeing one of the guilty parties killed is an example of retribution that is very rare and exhilarating.
Just not funny per se
Yeah, it’s heartwarming
one of the principles of our legal system is that justice isn’t retroactive
There have been plenty of cases in history where this didn’t hold.
King Charles I of England. King Louis XVI of France (not to mention the rest of his far-less-culpable family). Many prominent Nazis post-WWII. When society collectively decides that someone’s actions were heinous enough and caused enough harm, at a certain point a law can be created and applied retroactively, often on the grounds that there was a clear violation of some greater principle that should be self-evident.
I like how you missed the “our legal system” when giving examples entirely outside the legal system in which this killing took place.
Umm, no, not really? King Louis maybe, but the Common Law system used across most former UK colonies traces a line back to before King Charles’ execution, and the Nuremberg Trials were set up by the Allies (which prominently includes the US and UK) and form an important basis of 21st century international law.
Just as a comment, not a suggestion: a society that squeezes its people has to either repress them hard, or at some point expect it to start boiling over. The mob lynching the leaders is what happens once the mob gets desperate enough and are not heard.
And said repression often is one of the last straws before the people reach boiling point. :)
Yeah well Brian can get fucked.
Not anymore he can’t.
You just have to exhume his worthless corpse first.
Well not…in a traditional sense…
Call every crime tipline and report the person responsible for this death and many others - That person’s name was Brian Thompson.
Still reminds me of the time they sent out a sketch of the uni bomber and musician/professional jokester Weird Al did this
You can’t spell murder without laughter.
You’re thinking manslaughter
LMAO
Funniest thing since Titan submersible.
That was just fate
I’m not sure going around shooting people is quite as ironic
Hi-larious
