Right. The situation could directly correlate. The guy responsible for limiting access to physical and mental healthcare for millions was shot and killed in a premeditated murder. He’s fucking with millions of physically and mentally ill people. Granted, this is the most extreme repercussion for his actions, but it’s not like he’s some random CEO.

He didn't suffer as much as the pain he's inflicted upon others. He also didn't bankrupt his family in the process.

I can't say this is the way I want society to run ..... but quite frankly I think we're all sick of pretending that killing someone with a pen is any different than killing someone with a gun.
