It does seem like the left is becoming increasingly deranged.

To be fair, sometimes the best way to fight evil is with a different evil.

Sociology 101: Call revenge “justice”, then justify violence based on that base premise.

Because leftists are intrinsically hateful, they obsess about justifying their hate. Because of those obsessions, leftists project their vengeful contexts on everything, which is why they reacted so aggressively to January 6th protests. They fantasize about power through violence, and when they see violence or aggression that is not aligned with their politics, they fear it on a deep level. It hits them right where they live.

Folks,

There is going to be a fight, let’s get it started and over with.

I say that to get us mentally prepared. we are all going to have to be part of the fight and it will cost us individually.

If I shake you awake in the middle of the night and ask you what you are fighting for, after you reach for your gun, what do you tell me? (read this out loud and think about it.)

I think Trump could tell me, can you?

ONLY by returning to faith in God, thru His Son, Jesus the Christ, will save America.

The only evil in this situation is Mangione.

Nope. I beg to differ. Mangione at least killed the CEO in public. The CEO killed hundreds, if not thousands, from behind a desk.

That’s a bold statement care to show proof, and you don’t shoot someone in cold blood and get to call it justice.

“...pulled out a 3D-printed pistol...”

Wow, I hadn’t heard that before.

Thompson implemented an AI that automatically denied claims for policyholders who had paid their premiums and relied on UHC to provide coverage when they needed it.

Let's also not forget that Thompson was in NYC specifically to talk to shareholders and brag about how much money he had made them by denying policyholders claims.

You may not call that evil, but I do.

So you sympathize with an evil thug CEO who got rich through people's suffering and are outraged that someone saw fit to end that?

Sorry, but I have zero sympathy for Brian Thompson.

Maybe if CEOs realized that getting paid hundreds of times more than their employees is evil. Maybe if CEOs stopped running their companies via layoff. Maybe if CEOs stopped deciding the best way to make their market go up is to choke supply. Maybe if CEOs actually listened to the fact we’ve been saying these kind of things about them for THIRTY FREAKING YEARS and they just keep turning that toxic behavior up. Maybe then they wouldn’t be targets. But frankly, the CEOs of the world have turned it into an us and them world. And they’re really outnumbered. And we can’t remove their livelihood like they’re so fond of doing to us. But they are still vulnerable.

Why do I suddenly hear “The Internationale” playing in the background?
