      Isn't this functionally the same as just saying "nobody's gonna go to a school and shoot random kids", though?

      Like, yeah, no normal person would. That doesn't mean it can't happen, and, y'know, it clearly has. Yeah, if only a handful of people per year were told "you've got 12 months left to live unless you cough up a million bucks for treatment", I'd agree - but at the rates the US sees? At some point, someone who's broken enough to consider actually doing it is gonna get that news.

      I wouldn't expect it to be a common occurrance, obviously, but the fact it hasn't happened even once is kinda weird.

      A guy dying of cancer has the choice to either spend time with his loved ones in relative peace or blow all his savings on guns and body armor to get his ass shot off by a bunch of armed mall cops at Pfizer HQ.

      See, this is a real answer, not that other clown's "well why don't you do it then????" nonsense.

      other mass shootings occur.

      the point here is not "lol all sick people should grab guns and spend their last days going out in a hail of bullets!"

      its that of all the countless shootings that occur, for many varied reasons, it is genuinely surprising that none of them target the executives that are responsible for killing people.

          feel like youre imagining this as some sort of "only cowards who dont have good reasons will take violent action!" thing which is patently false.

          :william-van-spronsen: :john-brown:

          whether or not it would be successful isnt relevant. there hasnt been an attempt by anyone, leftwing rightwing centrist disillusioned-cia whatever, to take out anyone behind preventable medical death.

          over the course of decades, with millions of bodies, with nearly every person in amerikkka has been affected by this is some way, that is surprising

              [im not saying its cowards with bad reasoning! its] frustrated weirdos who think that murder will make them feel powerful!

              do you see how this is a frustrating conversation?

              it feels like both you and the other person have dug your feet in on some weird nitpicking point about "murder bad!" and refuse to look at this from anything but a "sick old granny cant use machinegun!" viewpoint

                  no you clearly do not understand my point.

                  i never said everyone should automagically become walter white, i said its fucking weird that not one person, of the millions upon millions of people whose lives have been destroyed by the medical industry, has gone after those ceos.

                  "most people dont want to kill" no shit. but none have done so, even when many many veterans have been adversly effected. not one of those trigger happy cops has gone off the deep end against pfizer for medical-neglecting their mom into an early grave. nothing.

                  fuck but im beyond done with this conversation, its like your purposely ignoring the point you claim to be getting
