So I "checked", so to speak, instead of just going by the random things I saw, and yes, it's everywhere. Where people can speak freely, this is what they say. There is nothing wrong with any of these people. The only noteworthy thing here are the attempts to smear or silence them.

> A "civilized society" doesn't allow its citizens to suffer and die needlessly so that insurance CEOs get filthy rich.
> CNN doesn't get to dictate how people should feel.
> How many people died to fund the CEO's lifestyle?
> You can see how fox and cnn suddenly have the same opinion when it comes to safety of elites
> Shut up, CNN. Your days of being relevant are running out anyways. The people have spoken.
> I love how the media, complicit in the war against the poor, tells the poor how they can and cannot express their anger.
> We're giving back the same sympathy that was given to us.
> No. You’re not going to tell me I need to have sympathy for someone who spent his life and career without sympathy for others. Not being sad a bad person died does not mean something is wrong with me.
> Finally, something all Americans can be UNITED against
> You're morale grandstanding for a mass murdering pyschopath. The CEO was a monster.

> So the problem is social media? Why aren't they talking about the real problem? The appalling US healthcare system.
> Celebrate murder?? normalizing insurance companies is celebrating murder, you hypocrites.
> His $10 million salary was $10 million of healthcare that was denied. How many people had to die for that $10 million. Healthcare should not be for profit. Do you get it now?
> This clip is all the proof we need that corporate media is more out of touch with the average person than ever before.
> 3:50 So you want to censor valid public opinion rather than address the root issues leading to such opinions? Good to know.
> These elite people sitting at a round table discussing how the peasants are behaving! Not once did the hint at that just maybe the insurance companies should evaluate their policies
> The only people who are surprised by this reaction are the talking heads. The media is more out of touch than ever.
> We keep being told that the deaths of poor and middle class people (old and young) is not a problem for the system. Then a fat rich man gets killed because of his greedy actions and the upper class is shocked that we say “it is not a problem”. That is part of the problem.
> So the lesson we learned is to silence people online? Get a grip. People aren’t upset that he was murdered, because he runs a company that denies care that leads to people’s deaths. “We’re normalizing murder”… well we’ve already normalized it for companies like UHC, why is this so different? Because we don’t have it on video?
> this woman says we should be outraged at the murder of a human being, ok, then why are we not equally outraged at the murder of thousands caused by the frivolous denial of life saving care by these insurance companies? Where is the outrage at that and why are those deaths acceptable?
