Yes, we can and do blame him. If the law doesnt work, shooting him in the back seemed to resolve the issue.

    I'm not unhappy with the outcome but using a pistol is not my favorite remedy. I WISH our legal system was more closely aligned with moral guidelines like: "profiting off sick people shouldn't be allowed" or "increasing value for the shareholders is not more important than cancer treatment", yet here we are.

    Although I'd prefer a legal solution (like revising our laws), I'm not going to be holding my breath. I also reject the claim that this shooter is the first of many, as I don't see this becoming a huge pattern. If I was an unethical health insurance CEO, I'd be sleeping fine now.

    (edit: forgot the 'not' in the cancer treatment quote)

    I don't like him, but I don't blame him. The insurance company dangled out a high-paying job doing something he found morally acceptable, and he took the job. What's the logical issue there?
