There's a difference between celebrating death and not not having sympathy or being sad for someone's death. I take no pleasure in any deaths, but not all deaths are worth getting out of shape over.

what about celebrating a person who was involved in someone's death, regardless?
those celebrating Penny is the same as celebrating Rittenhouse.

if it can be proven that the CEOs claim denial policies were 100% was at fault for as little as 1 death, should Louigi be celebrated like Penny?

The lionizing of this guy is straight up disturbing. I can't endorse vigilante justice. Those who do it should understand that there are, or rather, should be severe consequences for taking the law in your own hands regardless of the claim denial policies.

That said, when injustices by corporations are too great, it shouldn't be a surprise when people retaliate either. It doesn't justify killing people, but it's not terribly surprising when it does happen.

Somebody on here doesn't like that I posted facts but won't admit it straight out.

I tend to celebrate when someone stands up for others. Especially when you see so many people look away or take out there phone. When a kid is being bullied and someone steps in and beats the crap out of the bully I am all for it.

The guy in Texas who caught the guy raping his child and beat him to death. Good for him.

The guy who shot the pedophile in the airport for raping his son bravo.

Shooting a man in cold blood isn’t vigilante justice though.

Was it cold blood, though?

To the point I made earlier about medical costs and billing, the Washington Post is running a series of articles describing some of the billing abuses by hospitals. The last one my wife read to me (she's the one with the subscription), a man went in for a colonoscopy. The doctor fee: $19,000. But gets better... the doctor removed 2 polyps from the man's colon. Since he removed 2 polyps, he billed for 2 colonoscopies.

Now, surprisingly enough, the insurance paid for both; however, the insurance would've have the right to refuse to pay for a colonoscopy that in reality was not performed, yet the patient would still be on the hook to pay for the procedure.

Could really see someone getting shot over something like that..

I will be honest. I have United. I spent a month in the hospital with Covid and another 4 days a few weeks later with a diabetic issue from Covid and they paid everything.

I believe it was the definition of cold blooded. "Killing someone in cold blood" refers to the act of murder committed with deliberate intent, without any emotion, provocation, or remorse. It suggests a premeditated, calculated, and unfeeling approach to taking someone's life, typically without any significant emotional disturbance or reaction during the act. The phrase emphasizes a lack of empathy or justification for the violence.

So...who gets to play God though? I don't trust people enough for vigilante justice. What happens if they kill the wrong person, what then?

Either way, if you play judge, jury and executioner, you'll have to be prepared for the consequences that cone with doing such.

I'm OK with defending yourself and your family, and killing in self-defense if warranted. But beyond that, nope.

I’m trying to figure out if there is inconsistency or not here
So generally you are fine if an aggrieved party gets extrajudicial retribution if the crime is personal and targeted

But extrajudicial retribution that’s more calculated and the crime victims number in the 100,000s or even millions- that’s not good

Do I have that right?
