FTFY
It wasn't brutal. He died with no fear and very quickly. That's a lot better than many of the patients his company denied coverage for can say.
The news anchors / article writer had to say that because otherwise they get fired.
And, by nature of the corrupt system, lose their health insurance
People aren't shocked by his death. We're at the very least unsympathetic. And many of us are positively giddy.
As much as I share the majority's sentiment about this situation, I think he may have died with fear. If you see the uncensored video, he turns around and faces the shooter after the first shot. That explains why they say he was shot in the chest even though he appeared to be shot from behind. I guess the first shot was to the leg and the second to the chest. It's also possible that he died too quickly to experience fear, even though he got to face his assassin.
