I would find it hilarious is the assassin remained at large because people refused to snitch.

Also remember, things are newsworthy because they're novel. US sees like 2 gun deaths per day and thousands due to insurance company malpractice, but this one death dominates newscycles.

There is no way I snitch if this guy's kid or mom were killed by this company's CEO greed and decisions, and no court or system would bring him justice. let them fix the system which kills people lives first
If I serve on his jury, I’ll for sure push for nullification.
Sure he broke a law, we can all acknowledge that.
But was he wrong? (Based on the overall reaction I’d argue society doesn’t think so, and that’s where laws come from) Or are the laws, allowing things to get to a place where this is understandable behavior, wrong?
Self defense. He wasn't wrong, he was forced to act because someone else was using deadly force against millions of Americans.
I don’t think self defense could be stretched that far, honestly.
But that’s why jury nullification exists. His actions were legally wrong but morally/situationally not, so you let them walk.
I don't know if it really matters. Earlier this year Palestine Action got released despite having no defence because the judge wouldn't allow them to argue they had to break the law to protect life and property.
