> People should not kill law abiding citizens they disagree with because everyone has a different opinion.

That's not what happened.

Brian Thompson isn't a "law abiding citizen I disagree with" he's a law abiding citizen who killed people. If you or your loved one died because of his actions, would you "have a disagreement with him"? Is that what you'd call that?

There is a massive difference between not helping and killing someone. If you attribute the deaths from healthcare denials to him, did he also save every life that wasnt denied?

How many millions of people did he save?

Tell that to the people whose family members died due to his actions.

I'm not arguing this with you again for you to ignore what I say again.

None that wouldn't have been saved by anyone doing his job. Literally, it was just his job, and he was close to as bad at is as he could get away with. All the evidence I've seen is that this guy was an obstacle to saving lives at every opportunity he got.

Even if we somehow pretend he made any effort to saving lives, how many lives do you have to save to get a free pass for a murder in your mind? Is that how you think this works?

Honestly, I think there's something wrong with your conscience. Grow some compassion for other humans.
