A place to discuss politics and offer political commentary. Self posts are preferred, but links to current events and news are allowed. Opinion pieces are welcome on a case by case basis, and discussion of and disagreement about issues is encouraged!
The intent is for this community to be an area for open & respectful discussion on current political issues, news & events, and that means we all have a responsibility to be open, honest, and sincere. We place as much emphasis on good content as good behavior, but the latter is more important if we want to ensure this community remains healthy and vibrant.
Content Rules:
- Self posts preferred.

- No spam or self promotion.
- Do not post grievances about other communities or their moderators.
Commentary Rules
- Don’t be a jerk or do anything to prevent honest discussion.
- Stay on topic.
- Don’t criticize the person, criticize the argument.
- Provide credible sources whenever possible.
- Report bad behavior, please don’t retaliate. Reciprocal bad behavior will reflect poorly on both parties.
- Seek rule enforcement clarification via private message, not in comment threads.
- Abide by Lemmy's terms of service (attacks on other users, privacy, discrimination, etc).
Please try to up/downvote based on contribution to discussion, not on whether you agree or disagree with the commenter.

That's interesting!
My first impulse would be no.
But.. Maybe?
It depends on the writer, and what kind of story they're telling.
Batman is the wealthiest individual in the city. He mostly goes after street level criminals. So yes, he would.
But he also takes on larger organizations and problems occasionally. So when he finds the shooter and learns the motivations, he may realize there's a bigger problem. He could decide to have Bruce fund a free hospital for the city that completely bypasses the insurance industry all together.
That could be an interesting story.
Batman's whole thing is making it so criminals, the kind who actually set out to hurt people, have to live in fear. That if they go too far, vengeance will come from the shadows to stop them.
That's how CEOs have been feeling the past week.
