We shouldn’t confuse sympathy for the killer’s motives with sympathy for his action. Many people dislike the US healthcare system, from numerous angles—medical, capitalist, socialist, insurance theorist. It’s terrible all around. That said no one actually thinks that killing executives will be a sustainable way to effect change. Even if a whole series of killers mowed down 10 healthcare CEOs in a year, all that would happen is that healthcare executives would get hazard pay and big security details. Most people, even the folks, understand this. A US jury will not nullify, especially after shown pictures of the man’s family.
