There's some dipshit in other threads that's convinced the only reason this happened is because the guy was rich. No other motivating factors. The Stockholm syndrome in this country is fucking bonkers.

Yeah, but I'm just super happy that the general random person response has been between the Oh Well, Anyway meme at worst, and glee at best.

I guess there is one thing the left and right in the US can agree on: shooting healthcare CEOs.
