Some of the responses I've seen from people about that UnitedHealth CEO being killed are incredible:

FWIW, I think violence is bad, but healthcare in the US is awful because people like that guy get rich by denying others lifesaving medical care.
When powerful people create conditions where the only voice regular people have is violence, they can't be surprised when that voice is invoked. The people will speak, one way or another. Those in power need to make sure they're listening when peace is still on the table if they don't want the alternative.

Desperate people will do desperate things. Unfortunately, they often do them to similarly desperate people.
But when enough people are desperate, some of those that made it that way will find themselves on the receiving end of those desperate actions.
So don't harm large groups of people to make yourself rich. No amount of wealth makes your flesh impervious to weapons that are widely accessible in this country.

@jamie Yeah, it's a good illustration of how vigilante action is the natural outcome of a broken system.
And I am absolutely against vigilantism. Killing people is awful, and terrible policy besides. But... yeah, this is the kind of thing that happens.
(Usually I think of it as a response to failures of the justice system. But mistreatment by unrestrained corporations? That's a thing that makes desperate people too.)
