I'm curious if people so outraged at the shooting of the CEO are also equally outraged when police shoot and kill someone. In many cases police are excused and even heralded as heroes, for shooting and killing people.
There's a 284 page thread on police shootings that is still on the front page of this board, so I'd say those events get a lot of attention as well.
Speaking for myself, if a cop was laying in wait and then shot an unarmed suspect in the back and then fled the scene, I think I would feel about the same way as I do here.
I would say it's all about context but even that doesn't work because everyone's context is different. Some folks are happy the CEO was shot because they have an axe to grind with US healthcare and view the CEO as a mass murderer, just like some people rejoice when an abortion doctor gets killed because they view the doctor as a mass murderer.
That's why we have courts and judges, to sort it all out.
