      Can you be specific about what you think I’m defending here?

        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?

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