Can someone share the origin of this meme? (The hooded smiling man) I can't find anything on Know Your Meme and it's everywhere.

    Thanks, but weird that we are making memes about a criminal.

    Yes - it’s true the healthcare CEO had more blood on his hands than the shooter, but that’s no reason to refer to the CEO as a criminal!

    He was just a greedy, unethical monster who lived off the largess of others’ suffering.

    I love the double morale of some people with the meme templates.

    Lots of people encouraging others to stop using the guy at the "change my mind" meme because that person is bad but it's ok to use a literal criminal (the one that killed the CEO of a company)?

    I didn't know that killing was considered a good action depending if the one dead is rich or not. /s

    Look up Guy Fawkes. I don't remember all the details but I think he was some French guy who got executed for something.

    Unless you're talking about that specific person wearing that outfit in which case he's from the movie V for Vendetta with Natalie Portman and Hugo Weaving.

    Edit: I don't know how to read.
