People really want to celebrate this as a class war victory, but it was probably just about money or personal drama.

Consider the effective sentiments being expressed, regardless of the true cause..

[–] LovableSidekick 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That's what I'm saying - the sentiments are "Hooray for our side!" but more likely the guy's estranged wife or a business rival hired the hit man.

This post doesn't congratulate the murderer for their actions. It calls into question people's focus on this one death versus preventable ones die to denied insurance claims. This post isn't doing the thing you think it is.

Yeah I know. The "sentiments" I referred to are the wave of "Hooray, class war victory!" that's crashing all over the beaches of lemmy, reddit and elsewhere. It's okay to mention other parts of the talkiverse in thread comments.

The reason doesn't matter all that much, although the CEOs wife says there were threats to him about lack of coverage so it's very possible, the point is a parasite was exterminated.
