This is the first time in recent memory I have seen people across the political spectrum *celebrate* a murder. I don’t know how I feel about this (well, I do - disgust). There is a lot of rightful frustration and anger at the healthcare system in America, and I have my reservations about a lot of CEOs, but glorifying murder seems overboard.

As someone did point out though, the fact that this is being celebrated says a lot about the undercurrents and desperations in society at a system that is harming the average person, and this needs to be rectified or we will go down a dark path.

“A gunman, masked in the freezing temperatures, waited for about 10 minutes before Thompson’s arrival before opening fire multiple times, striking Thompson from about 20 feet away, investigators tell CNN.”
