Comment on Two 26-Year-Olds: One Killed a Homeless Man, Another is Suspected of Killing a Healthcare CEO
NatakuNox@lemmy.world 3 months agoThe point is neither situation should ever happen in a system that puts humanity over profits. A mentally ill, homeless, and starving person should exist in our society because we have the means to house, feed, and provide Healthcare for everyone. (we just don’t have the morality)
Also, the strangle hold was applied for 5 min. I’m no expert but when someone goes limp from blood flow being blocked, you usually don’t need to continue choking them for an additional 4 min.

It shouldn’t happen but such a situation where someone becomes hostile can occur even when theoretically everyone’s every need is taken care of. It’s unfortunate that it did though.
That’s what the court case was over. Nobody is really disagreeing about the homeless man having been aggressive and a threat and needing to be subdued, it was just about whether the person who subdued him was guilty of “criminally negligent homicide”.
