My chief worry is how this event will be "used" to "help" restore "law & order" to "society".

Yeah, I understand what he did and I "like it" but it's also a bit bizarre how easy it is for people to celebrate a death. It's still murder, in the open.
I also dislike the mega wealthy but I want to see them suffer, remove their power and money. Death is too easy.
Man, I celebrate deaths all the time. The idea that life is always sacred is bull. We are what we bring to the world, and fuckwad CEO brought suffering.
Suffer? I want them to enjoy nice lives with like one nice car and boat per person
And the rest: for We The People who made everything possible anyway
I think the first copycat is going to get more updoots than Luigi did.
I've seen several very sympathetic posts on LinkedIn, including one that called him out as a hero and role model for coming from a small town and rising to the top of US society.
If small towns were so great then why didn't he stay there ?
Oh right greed and need of psychopathic power grabbing of the american dream.
he would have sought mental help for it but his claim was denied based on the fact that it was all in his head.
Doesn't even need any labels, everyone knows what it represents.
The grinning guy on the left really makes the image for me.
There's quite a few on Reddit, but they tend to be downvoted to oblivion.
I haven't seen any though that actively defend their business practices, like simping for them "they have the right to make as much profit by any means" or "stock buybacks are fine" or "they have the right to deny coverage to increase profits".
There was at least one care bear on Lemmy saying 'think of his family', etc.
Nah, I will think about the families of the tens of thousands of private insurance victims instead.

I don’t think empathy is a zero-sum game.
Fuck the CEO and his company’s practices. Sic semper leeches-who-profit-from-making-healthcare-worse.
But I still feel for his kids who lost their dad, and his parents who lost their son. Just like I feel bad for the families who lost people because they were denied healthcare.
Callousness toward the pain of other people isn’t a trait I want to nurture in myself, personally.
I think the problem is not them trying to increase profits. The problem is that people are forced to be medically dependent on a company that wants to increase profits.
Celebrating murder feels wrong and bad.
But the death of this vile parasite who presided over a nearly 150% increase in denials while living a life of careless excess is a net good.
Murder is a crime.
Justified homicide is not.
You won't find these people online, but I can assure you that they exist in numbers.
Lol try LinkedIn
Business majors aren't people
I have sympathy for his loved ones to some degree, in the same way I have sympathy for the family of people who commit horrible crimes and then have to see their family member taken away and locked up for life.
Im sure he had redeeming qualities to them, but to society he was not a net positive.
Certainly there have to be some Twitter bootlickers out there.
Just go to twitter, you will find tons of people dicksucking the CEO.
If you go on Twitter you’d think the vast majority of people are sad about the ceo being deposed.
There are people on Twitter? I thought it was all bots and Musk's sockpuppet accounts
I'm so sad...
so sad for the bacteria that lives on his body.
