      What if he was targeted because he was going to do something that was good but unprofitable? Did you ever think about that?

        Are you defending a CEO of an American Health insurance company on the astronomically small chance he would give a pittance anything that would help anyone?

        Fuck dude, That’s a weak ass strawman.

        Take a moment and go look the dude up and what his company has done under his direction.

        Stop simping for thise who would charge you for life saving healthcare.

          Again, you can’t simp for a dead man. I’m just asking for people to not glorify his death like some kind of sick trophy. It’s disgusting.

            You got a strange idea of glorification. It’s almost as if you have no sense of nuance at at (it’s alright it’s real tricky).

            Nothing I have said is glorification, but understanding. Nothing I have said was violent but statement of fact that not everyone uses the same standards.

            You can be disgusted. But don’t pearl clutch.

              You’re simping a contract killing. I’m just advocating for common decency in the immediate aftermath of a man being gunned down in cold blood.

                Ah, so, do you usally say shit like this to those who can see shades of gray?

                Are you afraid someone you fucked over is gonna come for you? Are you a CEO of a blood sucking corporation?

                Because telling me I can’t be meh over a billionaire catching a round is quite something.

                Go clutch pearls in quiet.
