Social Media Has Little Sympathy for Murdered Health Insurance Exec

I’m not advocating the assassination of CEOs or board members, but in the back of my mind I’ve always wondered why it doesn’t happen regularly. People on both sides of the political spectrum have a deep hatred for the corporate/financial elite.

It’s terrible that people are dying over insurance. It’s very likely the person who replaces him is going to be the same or worse.

Europeans of a certain age will remember the assassination of Siegfried Buback, the German Federal Prosecutor at the height of Red Army Faction political terrorism. There was a pamphlet in left-wing 'zine, where the "Göttinger Mescalero" wrote about his "well-concealed joy" at receiving the news. The press was not amused.

But here - everyone seems to be amused that the fellow is dead. Doesn't bide well for social cohesiveness.
