“This is America, we don’t kill people in cold blood to settle policy differences. We kill people in cold blood to make a profit.”
“You use a gun, I use a fountain pen. What’s the difference?”
>“When one individual inflicts bodily injury upon another such that death results, we call the deed manslaughter; when the assailant knew in advance that the injury would be fatal, we call his deed murder. But when society places hundreds of proletarians in such a position that they inevitably meet a too early and an unnatural death, one which is quite as much a death by violence as that by the sword or bullet; when it deprives thousands of the necessaries of life, places them under conditions in which they cannot live – forces them, through the strong arm of the law, to remain in such conditions until that death ensues which is the inevitable consequence – knows that these thousands of victims must perish, and yet permits these conditions to remain, its deed is murder just as surely as the deed of the single individual; disguised, malicious murder, murder against which none can defend himself, which does not seem what it is, because no man sees the murderer, because the death of the victim seems a natural one, since the offence is more one of omission than of commission. But murder it remains.“
— Social Murder, Friedrich Engels
But we do allow the killing of patients who are denied medical care over profit for greedy SOBs working in corporations
He’s right. We don’t kill each other to resolve policy differences. We allow billionaires to buy all possible media outlets that tell us that culture war is the war we should fight, while they pickpocket everyone.
No Culture war.
Only Class War.
This death stopped the ridiculous limit on anesthesia during surgeries. Which may still roll out when we stop paying attention.
Soon limited anesthesia time will be standard stuff.
“Only kill people for profit, not politics.”
-That guy
what happened to a trial before being called a killer?
Yeah, that’s a policy reserved for international use. 😉
I really don’t think he’s understanding the problem.
The fact that people feel like praising this man for killing a health care company CEO to solve his problems, is not the problem that we face, rather it is a symptom of the larger scale problem.
The fact that he does not see it and makes this statement, is why the resentment continues to build and the bigger problem is still at scale.
The American public are working jobs they are not getting Fair wages for, They are paying for healthcare they are not getting, They are being turned into a consumer product at every turn. They are watching corporations actively ruin their world around them in the future of their children’s world for the pursuit of a dollar.
If it continues, things will only get worse.

**YES THE FUCK WE DO WHEN ORCS ARE IN CHARGE OF OUR HEALTHCARE AND THAT FACT ALONE CAUSES MILLIONS OF US TO DIE IN THE NAME OF THEIR ANNUAL PRIVATE PLANE BUDGET**
Unless you’re the President and your VP won’t go along with your coup plans. Then sending a mob to hang him is OK.
187 minutes of treason, they should all be locked up.
Our policy can kill you but you can’t kill us. Sounds about right….
It’s actually kind of sickening to hear the media/gov’t/law enforcement shame the public’s response to this murder and try to humanize Thompson, with no mention of the blood of millions on the hands of health insurance companies.
Further, “this isn’t how we deal with policy we don’t like in this country, we deal with it through legislation and working together,” and whatever other bullshit, are fallacies beyond comprehension. The mere suggestion that we as individuals actually have any sort of course of action for change to the system is absolutely laughable, top tier gaslighting.
*gestures broadly at American history*
uhh… you sure about that?
All of US history proves that’s a lie
“I saw that CEO kill four people with a pencil. A fucking pencil.”
American Health Insurance executives are mass killers.
I refuse to mourn a single one.
Tell that to Kyle Rittenhouse. The right celebrated the hell out of the fact that he gunned down people.
I wish this guy hadn’t been caught
Your “viewpoint” is CAUSING preventable deaths in furtherance of profit. 🖕🏻
Yes..this privilege is reserved for CEO’S and politicians.
Maybe don’t kill a bunch of people that paid to have Healthcare and people won’t be cheering your demise like the ewoks cheering the destruction of the fucking death star.
He’s right you know, we only kill children in schools, unarmed protesters, kids in hoodies walking down the street with a sammich, women napping on their couch after a hard day saving lives, men who attempt to pass phony Benjamins… brown people. We only kill brown people.
Ok, time to be 100% real!
Do you want to know WHY this dude was basically given a pass and hailed as a hero by so many people?
Because ordinary Americans HATE the rich who have made our lives MISERABLE while they line their pockets with literal BLOOD MONEY!
Do I condone violence and literal assassinations?
No!
But I will NEVER have sympathy for anyone who DESERVES exactly what he/she gets.
Fuck Shapiro. Both Shapiros.
Free Luigi!
