Maybe our country would see some positive change to the inequality problem if more people were willing to risk their lives and freedom to take out parasites like healthcare CEOs.

But who am I kidding? It would just result in more militant policing and oppression of the working class.

Which would just worsen the issue all around. If this happened, I'd be putting money on a civil war developing.

Relevant excerpt with fat and repetition trimmed:

The words "deny," "defend" and "depose" appeared on shell casings recovered from the scene of the shooting in New York City, according to law enforcement officials [who] said they are examining whether the words relate to a possible motive involving insurance companies and their responses to claims. [...] Investigators believe they could reference "the three D's of insurance" coined by the industry's critics, which are "delay," "deny" and "defend."

"Investigators are examining whether water relates to wetting"

That motive narrows down the killer to...every American.
