    Am I a bootlicker simply because I don’t agree with a killing?

    I’m not in any way saying the CEO was not a total shitbag who was the effective cause of many deaths.

    I just don’t like that murder was seemingly what needed to happen to give people a voice.

      I mean, not liking the reality you live in is sure a good response, but fuck it dude. You live in it. Time to get off the centrist hand-wringer, no good to anybody fence.

      You are missing the point. Murder is a legal term with a specific meaning. By using it here, before the legal process has even started, you demonstrate a bias in favor of the capital class. Even in your response the CEO “caused deaths” but the individual committed a “murder.”

      Language matters. Adopting the language of the capitalist class (assuming you are not a part of that class) is what makes you a bootlicker.

        Your pathetic pedantry shows your underlying need to find any justification to join the disgusting mob behavior against anyone who doesn’t conform perfectly to the whims of the mindless behavior you decided to be your personality. You clearly are looking for any reason to try to remove my own humanity and individuality by classifying me as an enemy.

        Fuck your mindless swine behavior.

          I’ll say it slow (I would use crayon if that was an option here). You are making a legal determination. The law in the USA recognizes the right of the jury to decide whether something was justified or not.

          If my opinion of you effects how you feel about your humanity I suggest therapy and touching some grass

      Then blame the monsters who ignore human rights for sake of profit, and their enablers. Not the person who saved lives by giving the billionaires a reality check. Yes, it was an unlawful killing. But if the law protects mass murder by denial of life saving care, then how should people change something?

        I do blame the monstrous predators of our fucked up healthcare system that ruin and end people’s lives to make a profit.

        I also don’t like that someone had to be killed in response.

        I don’t blame the guy, but I also believe that killing is wrong.

          it is unfortunate that someone had to be killed. the argument is that there is no other way to accomplish change. and I would probably agree with that.
