    This is not legal advice, but i’m pretty sure it was simply murder.

    Hooray for murder‽

      There is no rule of law when legal change stops being an option. Like when cops kill people for being brown, this is an act of terror. It’s not ideal, but neither is capitalism that will never be peacefully stopped.

      It was murder, yeah. And dude deserved it :) And so do all the crooks in government he and others like him line the pockets of.

      Politicians have ensured that there is no peaceful, legal pathway to reform. That’s why this happened.

          Honestly, simply put, imo, no. The same rich and powerful are going to be in charge then. Even more so. I’d argue that the incoming government even guarantees that there’s no peaceful, legal, pathway to reform.

          Towards authoritarianism and dictatorship and away from democracy, yes.

          I’m sure Trump’s concepts of a plan will fix healthcare in this country. Yup, definitely should have just waited for daddy Trump to give the healthcare industry a spanking. He’s definitely not a slimy conman who will just let the insurance industry line his pockets like every other politician.

      the world isn’t so black and white, and this kind of attitude (preservation of the status quo, valuing order over justice) is what allows evil to persist.

      Sometimes we need to get our hands dirty, and you’re benefiting today from the people willing to do that in past generations.

      Sometimes it’s armies storming a beach, sometimes it’s the people checking those in power
