This is a genuine question.
I have a hard time with this. My righteous side wants him to face an appropriate sentence, but my pessimistic side thinks this might have set a great example for CEOs to always maintain a level of humanity or face unforseen consequences.
P.S. this topic is highly controversial and I want actual opinions so let’s be civil.
And if you’re a mod, delete this if the post is inappropriate or if it gets too heated.
Is this a one-off or the beginning of a movement? Probably a one-off. We shall see.
I hope he’s caught and found not guilty so he doesn’t have to live in hiding for the rest of his life. Just like that kid Kyle Rittenhouse that got away with murder and now has a podcast and people donated a bunch of money to him. If he can do it why can’t this guy.
If he gets caught, yes. I want to believe in the process of our law. And part of our laws support jury nullification. Now whether or not i would personally vote to convict/nullify is something I’ve been reflecting on and I’m not sure how i would vote. I do believe murder is wrong, but im also interested to know the actual data behind how many people died because claims were denied by united health group. We have two murderers, one who blatantly broke the law and one who did it within the law to make 22 billion in profit in 2023. How many people died to make that profit? And do those deaths make murder right? Idk.
ITT: Nobody understands the difference between being prosecuted and convicted.
He should absolutely be prosecuted, he murdered someone. Should he be convicted of this murder? Fuck no, and I actually think a jury might agree with me.
If that was a catalyst for many others to do the same instead of an isolated incident, we wouldn’t have called it an assassination. We would have called it a revolution. In the kind of time and society we find ourselves in, this is the closest we’ll ever get to a revolution. And I say, viva la revolución!
I also believe he should face an appropriate sentence. What’s the sentence for hunting without a licence in NY?
If I was on the jury it would be a not guilty from me
If I was in the jury I could be persuaded to push for jury nullification.
Nah he was defending himself against highway robbery.
Nope.
If Trump can get alway with almost all of his bullshit, if the Supreme Court can just hurr durr away a hundred + years of legal precedent, then this whole system is bullshit.

Lol Lmao Fuck no. Every day he’s not found is another day that the United States is in a better position
Yes, of course he must be prosecuted if he can be found. As a member of the general population I feel as though it’s possible that a jury wouldn’t convict him and could even find him not guilty. Then he is a free man.
Until his identity is known I shall call him Attaboy Goodman, and if a jury were to convene with me on it, I would be unlikely to take seriously any claim by the state that this vigilantism is somehow more destructive of public order than police murdering and robbing people while ignoring wage theft and corporate crimes.
I wish I could be on the jury for this one (if he’s caught and not unalived by cops)
Yes, of course
I don’t want to live in a world of vigilantes, we don’t want Batman, we don’t want to need batman either
So having said that, CEO’s should also be jailed for deaths they cause. If you cause a dozen deaths through purposeful decisions, you usually wouid get the chair so for this particular CEO would need a LOT of chairs to kill him a thousand times.
It’s time to stop treating killings by man as a heavy crime and killings by a company as a misdemeanor
