In the wake of the killing, widespread public animosity towards health insurers โ and UnitedHealthcare specifically โ may explain why the company quickly limited who could comment on their tribute to Thompson.
Still, people still found a way to express how they felt โ to the tuneย of more than 90,000 laughing reactionsย as of Friday.
In what world is: โAn individual who has been earning millions from allowing preventable deaths to take place deserves to dieโ extremist rhetoric?
Advocating for anybodyโs killing is extremist. Itโs literally the most extreme thing you could inflict upon somebody.
Revenge and justice arenโt the same thing.
They actually sometimes are the same thing.
Would any sane person advocate against Hitlerโs death after learning what he did?

No, youโre right. Itโs fine that these executives go into meetings and enact plans that harm and kill sick people, while they profit. They should be allowed to do that without consequence. The fact that this one man killed only one person, and without personal profit, is abhorrent.
