    Sure. You changed your question into a statement, so this helps give a better idea about your feelings towards Brian Thompson

    Given

    Celebrating the murder of Brian Thompson and especially advocating for more acts like it is abhorrent behaviour.

    Why do you believe this is abhorrent behavior? Are there times when you support this behavior?

      Why do I believe celebrating and encouraging an extrajudicial murder is abhorrent? Is that really what you’re asking me?

          I would have chosen not to murder someone. I make that choice every day, in fact.

            Just saying you would not have done so. Doesn’t acknowledge why he did so from his perspective and experiences. If you’re truly offended by his actions, what action would you have taken to get a similar or better result?

              why he did so from his perspective and experiences

              What was his perspective and what were his experiences?

              If you’re truly offended by his actions, what action would you have taken to get a similar or better result?

              What was the result he got?

                What was his perspective and what were his experiences?

                I’m sure you’ve read about it based on your messages in this thread. The tldr is that he was upset that treatments exist for his back issues that aren’t being provided without person’s going through many obstacles

                From my experience, to be offered a similar treatment it cost me four years of my time to go back and forth with many doctors and spending more than 10k out of pocket deductibles not including what I pay for health care insurance

                What was the result he got?

                So far seems global awareness for the suffering within the States surrounding our health care system

                Imo he has reminded the left that violence and gun ownership isn’t just a hobby for conservatives

                So then, why do you support the CEO of UHC? What would you have done to improve access to healthcare in the United States?

                  Can you provide me a source that quotes the killer saying that this was the reason he killed Brian? I’ve heard this speculation before, but you asked what I would do if I had the confirmed experience of the killer, so you’ll need to provide me with exactly what that was for me to give you a better answer than what I would do based on my experience.

                  So far seems global awareness for the suffering within the States surrounding our health care system

                  Can you quantify that? How many people were previously unaware and are now aware.

                  Then, what is the value of that awareness? What has it achieved, in concrete terms?

                  So then, why do you support the CEO of UHC?

                  I don’t think you should be murdered because someone doesn’t like you. Would you say that means I support you?

                  What would you have done to improve access to healthcare in the United States?

                  This implies that murdering someone improves access to healthcare in the US. I don’t agree with that premise.

            Is that what Luigi should have done from your perspective or is that what the user null would have done?
