    The whole point of a corporation is so that the people involved don’t get held personally responsible when bad things happen. It’s virtually impossible for them to be held accountable with our current laws.

      It’s virtually impossible for them to be held accountable with our current laws.

      Then we change the laws, because it’s completely impossible to hold them accountable when they’re killed before a trial could ever occur. Now all his ill-gotten earnings will be given to his already-wealthy family instead of distributed back to his victims and surviving families of his victims.

      The rich getting richer isn’t justice.

        WTF are you on about? Being killed is the ultimate form of being held accountable.

          Not in the slightest. He’s free. His money is safe and secure. He won’t spend a day behind bars. Just because he stops breathing doesn’t rectify his wrongdoing. There are still victims of his actions right now who would probably love to have seen him face a trial and be forced to pay back everything he took.

          He felt like… what… A minute of pain, before his lights faded out? How the fuck is that justice? If I oversaw the deaths of thousands of innocent people, I could only hope to be so lucky that being shot in the street is the worst punishment I’d face.

        Then we change the laws

        Not to rain on your parade, but how do we do that when they’re the ones “lobbying” (aka paying) for the laws to be changed? Money speaks, and they can spend a ridiculously large quantity of it without worrying about making ends meet.

          Sounds like killing a healthcare CEO isn’t the right action for the type of change people are wanting.

            It’s not the type of change people want. However if violent retribution is all that’s on offer it makes perfect sense that someone would eventually take that deal and that people would celebrate it.
