Someone died. Even if that’s a billionaire from health insurance, someone dying is usually not a good thing. What is good about this situation is how it has put class consciousness in the public eye in a way that it wasn’t before.
I agree about the gained consciousness, that’s a good thing. On the other hand, being I’m firmly against death sentence (even with a trial), what I don’t agree with is homicide. That’s not justice. It’s just vengeance. And it’s a very dangerous slippery slope.
So how do you suggest to solve the situation when there are a lot of people who should be in jail or worse but they are rich so the government justice system does not work for them? In the lifetime of one person who’s life was destroyed by the said evil person.
Elect representatives and use non-violent acts to shape public perception so the law is changed. If it is legal and he isn’t actively like murdering/torturing people I don’t think you can really argue he should be imprisoned. Just my take. Also, there are no “good people” and “bad people”. Its not black and white.
How do you elect such a candidate in the US when the whole election system is controlled by the people who are the problem? Bernie was pretty moderate, fairly popular and they still ditched him from the elections twice. And to solve the problem the elected politicians have to be way more progressive than Bernie.
Didn’t they vote on it? If you were member of the democrats couldn’t you have voted for him in primaries? I honestly think many people in the US just aren’t progressive enough even if they’d benefit from it
Opposing capital punishment without a trial != defending millionaires.
