The story at that link is about 1 month old, but someone posted about this mural on Reddit yesterday.

It’s definitely sad and unfortunate that someone had to die, but I heard they were using unethical means to exploit vulnerable people and cause the deaths of many others.

If the police weren’t going to do anything about the CEO, then sadly, it’s ultimately necessary for a vigilante to step up.

It’s why you need a fair legal system.

This.

But not this.

If someone (a CEO, a powerful business man, a politician, whatever) is doing something so egregiously wrong then club together to raise awareness, take legal action, shame them in the press, set up you own alternatives. Going straight to murder is not the answer.

Yet it scares me that so many people think it is 😢😬.

If you think we as a society went straight to murder, you need to get your head out of your ass.

And yet we see a murderer venerated 🤷.

Because we've been fighting this battle the right way for DECADES. Enough is enough. Luigi did nothing wrong.

What have you tried? What have you personally tried?

For example, have you got together in your locality and created a shared insurance scheme for you and your neighbours? Basically adopt a version of French / German healthcare insurance on a local level? Have you tried that?

Stop simping for corporate leeches. If the people have collectively been fighting the system within the legal framework for DECADES yet things continuously get worse, its not the people that's the problem. The systems rotten to the core and needs to be cut out at the root.

I'm not defended your health care system. Read my other replies. Your health care sucks balls and we feel really bad for you. I'm saying that murdering people isn't good neither is encouraging it. Big difference 👍.

If you don't like your unfortunate situation then do something constructive and positive about it. Heck, educate yourself well enough to move it you feel so strongly about it. Imagine if people took the same attitude to your education system that they happen to be aggrieved with. Sooner or later the US will be overwhelmed with mass school killings because some jackass "hated the school system that failed him".
