(16 posts)54. Stop treating this guy like anti-abortion people treat Dr. killers
This is the exact type of rhetoric and support that happened when anti-abortion people would murder doctors.
Vigilanteeism is something that can be Weaponized against something you like very easily.

If you agree with what he did then you can send him money that he can use in prison to buy things.
And if youre against the healthcare system, then only collective action can fix it. This country just elected an incredibly corrupt CEO as president for the second time, so things are gonna get a lot worse before they get better.
But targeting CEOs is only going to have them beef up Security, and gain sympathy, its not gonna change their underlying business at all

He'll get sympathy since he's "attractive". The courtroom was full of young women.
