    I’m not well versed in the saints, but I think this is a better origin story than most.

    All we need is a tearful prayer, with a vow towards some further action: even if it’s just in a cell for the rest of his life.

    And then he is on the same level, in my opinion, of some medieval saints I know a little about.

    Could easily be a saint for denied claims and other obstacles in healing.

    You guys do realize that you are glorifying a literal murderer, right? Someone who killed a human being in cold blood.

    Okay, just checking.

      Someone who killed a human being in cold blood.

      Someone who killed someone who kills people by pretending to be a health insurance, whilst not paying them when people try to use said insurance in cold blood.

      The sentence is a little longer if you give the full context. Nobody was innocent here.

      All of our hands are at least speckled with blood for complicity in reaping the benifits of our society?

        So you’re saying you’re pro vigilantes and pro death penalty without court order?

        Besides, that CEO didn’t kill anyone personally. One could argue you killed a few kids yourself by buying cheap electronics and clothing. If you now start just killing people that you think deserve dying because of some moral standard you think you have, you’re a fucking lunatic without any moral standard.

          Can you explain why only victims of the likes of Thompson should fear, but the CEOs don’t need to fear even though they profit from rejecting life- or health-saving treatments?

          So, Hitler wasn’t bad. Stalin was OK, didn’t kill anyone right?

          But their decisions did. Their position of power allowed them to.

          Just cause they didn’t murder directly doesn’t mean they played a fair game. They knew exactly what they were doing. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes goes for bad people too.

          He didn’t kill personally, he just gave orders to other people to kill people.
          Which means his killer didn’t kill anyone personally either, he just pressed some trigger and the gun did everything else
