@space_wrangler @lashman I have several chronic health conditions. Nothing as major as cancer -- but UHC's horrible health"care" plans are the direct reason we have zero savings.

@lashman I think this will be a very interesting case. Letβs see how it unfolds.

If I were on the Prosecution Team of the #UnitedHealthcare CEO #shooter, I'd be pointing out that he wasn't even a UHC customer, and used 3D printed gun. -
@lashman He could screw himself with attitude if heβs not careful. Otherwise, jury nullification will be hard for the prosecution to defeat.
-
@lashman Easy fix : make a jury of oligarchs so they will not sympathize ...

@lashman The one question no one in the law enforcement or insurance industries (and they are both industries) has been able to answer is this: What is the difference between murder with a gun and murder by claim denial?
In my mind, there is no difference except the CEO's aren't being arrested and charged.

@lashman if he is not guilty then sympathy can be shown bit if he is guilty I don't see any reason for sympathy

@lashman isn't jury nullification how abortions got decriminalized in canada?
-
@lashman it is the neo French Revolution. Nobody should profit so much over the backs over ill people. They are demonic.
-
@lashman it boggles the mind that the take away from all that seems to be βCEOs have it tough and need special treatmentβ, rather than βtheyβre going to run us all through the guillotine unless we make deep systemic changes.β
-
@lashman They might have to anonymize the victim and the suspect for this trial. "A man attending a conference was shot and killed by a black clad and masked assailant." It makes you wonder how impartial our court system can be, or how impartial it should be. I'm guessing a lot of black defendants would not be found guilty if justice was really blind like this.
-
@lashman I find it amusing how they say the defense will want a young jury because only young people will sympathize with someone who allegedly shot a healthcare CEO??? I guess people stop getting sick or going to the doctor after 40 or something?

@lashman If someone reading this thinks this is a positive sign, they're a textbook case of human garbage. 100% on par with the MAGA crowd. Perhaps worse than some of them.

@lashman That's sheer nonsense. The prosecutors need to stop whining.

@lashman Prosecutor: "And, Juror 57, have you ever had an issue with a health insurance provider? ... um- yeah- OK, OK, I get it. NEXT!"
-
@lashman I wouldn't be surprised if they somehow manage to try him without a popular jury.

@Lazarou @joykill @ikanreed @CanadianCrone @lashman I mean, he did murder someone. He should get the same sentence as all the execs who murdered hundreds if not thousands by denying them possibly life saving treatment. So, yeah, he shouldn't get anything as well, just like those execs never got anything either.
And all the media and the rich are surprised Pikachu everyone likes Luigi even though he killed someone. It's hard to feel sympathy for scums and oppressors when they get whacked.

@lashman Wait wait wait what? I thought juries were randomly selected?
