A liberal who realized something was wrong is something a lot of leftists once were. Accepting him should come from a place of empathy.

Absolutely. I feel empathy for the United CEOs family, while also recognizing they are going to be financially fine. They also have a chance to reflect on any grief and how affected families may not be sympathetic for valid reasons. Whether they do or not depends on whether they value healing, or greed/retribution.

I don't. They benefited from it, same as him. Were happy to do so. They are nearly as demented as him.

Not willing to defend your accusation eh?

[–] HasturInYellow 1 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Why does it need defending? I'm not saying they are deserving of the same fate as Brian, but I don't feel bad for them for no longer having such a vile man around. If they are good people as you say, they would rejoice as well.

"They are nearly as demented as him." That's why. I don't know any of those people, but this whole "sins of the father" bullshit doesn't fly in the modern world. They aren't responsible for what a douchebag he was, or anything he did a UHC. In fact it looks like at least his wife figured out he was a douchebag since she left him. So I'm just wondering what your source for the claim was.
