      So you’re saying you’re pro vigilantes and pro death penalty without court order?

      Besides, that CEO didn’t kill anyone personally. One could argue you killed a few kids yourself by buying cheap electronics and clothing. If you now start just killing people that you think deserve dying because of some moral standard you think you have, you’re a fucking lunatic without any moral standard.

        Manson didn’t kill anyone directly. Doesn’t mean he was not innocent of murder

        He only died in prison cuz he didn’t wear a tie and go to board meetings

        So, Hitler wasn’t bad. Stalin was OK, didn’t kill anyone right?

        But their decisions did. Their position of power allowed them to.

        Just cause they didn’t murder directly doesn’t mean they played a fair game. They knew exactly what they were doing. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes goes for bad people too.

            Right, but still a person who had a part in making the lives of lots of people miserable or unnecessarily short.
            If a CEO isn’t responsible for the policies of the company they’re CEO of, why would you need a CEO in the first place?

        Can you explain why only victims of the likes of Thompson should fear, but the CEOs don’t need to fear even though they profit from rejecting life- or health-saving treatments?

        He didn’t kill personally, he just gave orders to other people to kill people.
        Which means his killer didn’t kill anyone personally either, he just pressed some trigger and the gun did everything else

        Osama bin Laden also didn’t kill anybody personally on 9/11, and the attack killed only 2,977 victims, which is almost certainly a lower body count than UnitedHealthcare under Brian Thompson’s leadership. Yet the US military personnel who violated Pakistan’s sovereignty and murdered him are heroes?

        What odd moral standards!
