  Some will bring up the “slippery slope” as a reason for us to treat this guy within the legal system as we would any other killer. I would respond to this people that we’re already barrelling headlong down a greasy slope and have been for a long time now.

  Far from endangering is further, this guy has shown us an offramp.

  I just watched a felon get elected president. I don’t so much believe in the process of our law.

  That data would be inadmissible in the murder trial. Lethal force is only privileged in response to an imminent lethal threat that the privileged act is the only way to avoid. The shooter’s life was not in immediate danger and killing the CEO isn’t likely to change the policies. You’d have to make your decision in the jury box without it.

  I agree if caught he should be prosecuted. I’d be real conflicted about it but I could convict. He either did it or didn’t.

    One insurance company already reversed policies on anesthesia cap.

    We really need some accountability from these insurance companies that wield so much power over the well-being of Americans.

      Not because of this.
