Same people voted multiple times, on each side.
Of course he wasn’t justified to murder someone. No one has the right to take another life when they could have saved them by giving them the medical assistance they’d already have paid for.
Oh wait this paragraph took tangent.
Maybe it’s not so bad the healthcare CEOs feel frightened. Every day. Just like all those who are dying from cancer and other diseases and are frightened every day as they fight their insurance carrier while fighting the disease to stay alive.
Wow I can’t believe so many people decided to go out of their way to actually take part in this
Or you know this was like 2 people making multiple marks to send a message
I call bullshit. New York streets? Maybe half an hour before someone dumps their water out on it. Or scribbles all over it. Or tosses/kicks the chalk.
It’s funny how organized one side is vs the other
I’m amazed that the chalk hasn’t been stolen or kicked away.
Seems a more fair and accurate vote tally than our election.
There’s no way to fake these tallies, of course. Don’t bother noticing that a lot of the tallies on the left look very similar and may have been done by one person. Don’t notice those things. Instead, 4k upvotes for you.
Fake.
Im more shocked that the chalk is still in the same place than the number count lol figured it would have been kicked away long before it got to 5 votes
Yeah that’s not a high quality survey.
Murder is never justifiable
My health coverage has improved greatly since this event. Not.
He was.
Deny, Defend, Depose.
Regardless of if he was justified, do we really want people who do their own research becoming vigilantes?
I wouldn’t say he was justified, but do I have any sympathy for the CEO? Nope.
Jury selection’s a bitch sometimes.
The majority of those yes marks are the same person. They are all identical.
they all look similar, like drawn with the same hand. it’s fake.
This is just so wild to me.
People are openly advocating for the murder of someone.
Just think about all the questionable jobs a person can have – defense attorney, car salesman, politician, etc. We, as a society, are now openly saying that, if you work a job where you’re called upon to do distasteful things, you’re open to vigilante execution.
Now think about all those people who have radically different ethical norms than you. Think about a person who would attack an abortion doctor, or a trans rights advocate, or a Democrat. It really doesn’t take a stretch of the imagination to justify murdering an abortion doctor under very similar beliefs.
Hell, we even openly debate the death penalty as a punishment for people actually, directly responsible for mass murder. In fact, many of the people who are openly supporting this murder are the same exact people who would be against the death penalty.
This reaction is truly sickening. Never before have I seen us get things so fundamentally wrong. What happened to this CEO was wrong. Full stop. Unambiguously wrong. And what happens when people get denied healthcare is also unambiguously wrong. But you cannot justify one act with the other, lest we descend into anarchy.
Luigi thought the health care system was bad. Wait til he gets a good taste of America’s prison system. The education of Luigi is just getting started.
CEO would be upsets if they could count
Looks like all have the same hand stroke and pressure as if the likes were drawn by the same person. As if they did it to post a pic for karma or something. You know, like a misleading bag of dicks would.

Left is what you pay for health care, right is what healthcare insurance pays for you.
So NYPD will have a hard time finding an unbiased jury.
These tally marks are not from individuals making each line. They’re all uniform. The top-left 5 and the bottom-right 3 are probably the only actual marks. Buuulllshiiiitttt!
I’m slightly impressed that the chalk hasn’t been stolen from the sidewalk.
Fwiw Yougov, a [pretty good pollster](https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/pollster-ratings/), did an [actual nationwide poll](https://www.newsweek.com/half-americans-say-not-ok-cheer-ceo-death-poll-1998860) on how they feel about Mangione shooting Thompson.
118/23. Seems about right.
Hey the chalk is still there.
Truly a shining beacon of humanity in these times.
It’s 20 degrees out today. No one is bending down in the middle of the street to do this.
Funny idea though. But obviously fake.
Abstain.
Murder is wrong whether by the gun or via bureaucracy. That being said, the murder is a natural outcome to the dysfunctional health care system in the US. If the US government doesn’t fix this, it’s going to cascade into the same kind of problem they have with gun violence.
