This is a genuine question.

I have a hard time with this. My righteous side wants him to face an appropriate sentence, but my pessimistic side thinks this might have set a great example for CEOs to always maintain a level of humanity or face unforseen consequences.

P.S. this topic is highly controversial and I want actual opinions so let’s be civil.

And if you’re a mod, delete this if the post is inappropriate or if it gets too heated.

    The year is 1940. You’re a French soldier. You’re waiting just outside Paris for the Nazis to come. When they arrive, will you use your gun to try to kill them?

      Well I hope so… because not only does that seem to fit the types of exceptions I mentioned, I’m also a soldier in this scenario.

      Seems you missed my point entirely.

        The year is 2024. Brian Thompson has doubled the number of healthcare claims denied by insurance since he became CEO of UnitedHealthcare. Thousands of people have died as a result of his personal, individual actions. Will you use your gun to try and kill him?
