It appears that in every thread about this event there is someone calling everyone else in the thread sick and twisted for not proclaiming that all lives are sacred and being for the death of one individual.

It really is a real life trolley problem because those individuals are not seeing the deaths caused the insurance industry and not realizing that sitting back and doing nothing (i.e. not pulling the lever on the train track switch) doesn’t save lives…people are going to continue to die if nothing is done.

Taking a moral high ground and stating that all lives matter is still going to costs lives and instead of it being a few CEOs it will be thousands.

    The problem with the trolley problem is that this event isn’t a trolley problem. Killing one CEO doesn’t save lives, hell just be replaced and more guarded now.

    We need proper reform and regulation.

      In America, the right to bear arms goes hand in hand with its dislike of regulation. Maybe the system is working the way it was intended for the first time?

      If you were to continue killing CEOs, eventually the CEOs would call for change themselves. One dead CEO isn’t going to change that. Hypothetically, of course.
