Luigi Mangione arrested.

Kyle Rittenhouse acted in total self-defence. He was only there to protect a parking lot from looters. He then defended himself against three men who attacked him and tried to seize his weapon. The case went to trial, and he was fully acquitted.

Now, I don't believe that all acquittals are fair. George Zimmerman should have been convicted for killing Trayvon Martin. (George Zimmerman had specifically been instructed by the police not to follow him.) Jeronimo Yanez should have been convicted for killing Philando Castile. (Castile was stopped for a broken tail light. As required by the law, he told the cop that he had a gun in his glove box. And as he reached for his driver's licence, he received five bullets!) Philip "Mitch" Brailsford (the shooter) and Charles Langley (the verbal bully) should have convicted for killing Daniel Shaver (graphic video).

We don’t see eye to eye on things and that’s ok. I’m gonna leave this discussion now because I doubt I’ll change your mind and I know you won’t change mine. It’s all good.

What's the message of this meme? That cold-blooded murder is the answer? We all get that insurance companies are mostly there for profits... Heck, that's something I figured out a very long time ago... But what "Mario's brother" did is wrong, amoral and unacceptable. Period. There is no "but." Besides, those CEOs don't have all the decision-making powers.

My point is, allowing, making excuses or having "sympathy" or "empathy" for that will allow for anybody to do it for any reason they please. That crazed New Orleans truck driver, in his mind, was "entitled" to do it, and he honestly believed he was punishing heathens and doing God and the world a favour. He felt just as entitled as "Mario's brother," whether or not one empathizes with him.

I do feel terrible about those people who are deceived and let down by those insurance companies who collect all that money from them but deliver peanuts if anything at all in time of adversity. I really do! But I just don't see how shooting CEOs around is going to solve the problem. If anything, this meme proves that the shooter's actions did not go the the roots of the problem.

Note: As I may have mentioned earlier, some experts do not believe that the shooter's actions were so altruistic. They rather see him as a narcissist.

all the meme said was “y’all wonder why he did what he did”. It didn’t say it was justified.
You have your opinions and everyone else has there’s. No one is required to share your opinion or mine. I started this thread for conversation only.

This is why Universal Health Care is important. But our Country is the only first world country that doesn’t have it because we’re selfish, greedy, and god damn ignorant.

@Jaybifla My response is more aimed at the one who made that meme. That said, what the shooter did is unlawful, regardless of one's opinion.

Obama was President for eight years. Wasn't Obamacare something like that?

No! The Affordable Care Act (Obama Care) is not universal health care.
