A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.

I feel for his family and loved ones. I’m not celebrating his death. I’m just not surprised by it.
On a personal level, yeah it's got to be a shock. On the other hand they profited off of the suffering of others. My empathy is limited.
Right. The situation could directly correlate. The guy responsible for limiting access to physical and mental healthcare for millions was shot and killed in a premeditated murder. He’s fucking with millions of physically and mentally ill people. Granted, this is the most extreme repercussion for his actions, but it’s not like he’s some random CEO.
He didn't suffer as much as the pain he's inflicted upon others. He also didn't bankrupt his family in the process.
I can't say this is the way I want society to run ..... but quite frankly I think we're all sick of pretending that killing someone with a pen is any different than killing someone with a gun.
Preach
Limited empathy is totally fine. Cheering for assassinations is a different thing ( not saying you did).
I wish the systems this dude profited from were changed. This guy will just be replaced, and the next one will have a security detail ($$$)
I dunno, I think this might really rattle a few people. It's one thing to talk about social consequences like not being invited to garden parties or whatever, another entirely to be potentially killed.
I hope it does.
I doubt they lost any sleep knowing their dad killed thousands by denying them coverage. Why would i lose sleep for them? Hell, they are probably looking at a juicy life insurance payout, which is more than any of us will get when United kills our loved ones.
I don't know but mabe his life insurance will deny it, given he had the pre-condition of being a shitbag CEO.
They should be fair to him, and roll percentile dice. If it rolls below a 33, the claim gets denied. You know, like UHC does with their "customers"
It might get denied due to it being terrorism
I'm celebrating it.
As cruel as it is, I can't help but make the joke
Thoughts and prayers.
God was like: This guy has done enough
I feel for the people who loved him. Not convinced he loved anyone but himself though
Well put.
Are they going to donate all of his ill-gotten gains to a healthcare charity?
I feel bad for his kids, seeing the country laugh and cheer at their father's death.
He still earned it, though. Hopefully this inspires them not to follow in his footsteps.
Yeah, well, maybe they'll learn something from it and not go on to be horrible people themselves.
I would be very scared to be the kid of a guy who was assassinated. You know they are the next target.
There's no reason to think that his children would be targeted.
There is ever reason to assume the kids would not be Targeted? Killing one person may not satisfy everyone.
If the gunman was angry about healthcare, there is absolutely no reason that he would go for the children after killing the father.
There's no logic to it.
There is no logic to rage
I suspect you are looking at this from the wrong direction. But we'll see.
