Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted?
This is a genuine question.
I have a hard time with this. My righteous side wants him to face an appropriate sentence, but my pessimistic side thinks this might have set a great example for CEOs to always maintain a level of humanity or face unforseen consequences.
P.S. this topic is highly controversial and I want actual opinions so let's be civil.
And if you're a mod, delete this if the post is inappropriate or if it gets too heated.
Literally every single human alive has posted on Lemmy.com in enthusiastic support of the assassin. Even you are posting how you think their murdering was justified! That's a proven fact, you can check it on Wikipedia.
This is not a lemmy problem. This is an everywhere problem. If you find a platform not talking about it then it is being heavily moderated and you're going to be in an echo chamber. For instance Facebook had a United health memorial post with 25x more "haha" reactions than heart/ sad reactions.
Best of luck though
Edit: wall street journal has called this a "nationwide outpouring of anger and frustration"
I agree with you. Most people on Lemmy have shown themselves to be disgusting and vile, wishing murder on innocent people. It's fine as long as it's not them or their family, as long as it's anyone else.
That's not true. You have no source for this accusation. This is like saying everyone who works at a job deserves to die. (Including yourself if you actually work.)
