Murder one rich CEO, capital punishment.

Murder thousands of regular working class people, that's just business.

For a real comparison, how many school shooters get the death penalty? They're just as pre-meditated and usually targeted at specific individuals as the currently unknown murderer of United Health's former CEO. And yet the guy they "caught" with a suspiciously convenient amount of evidence could face the death penalty? With school shooters there's no question of guilt and yet I rarely hear of one facing capital punishment.

Ofc I'm not blind to the fact that they're setting an example here to protect wealthy interests but they really aren't even trying to hide it. They don't try to hide much at all these days.

Yea they are doing it out in the open now. Cause they know no one can stop them. Only people protected are the wealthy. Our institutions are just a way to keep the status quo.

They’re gonna squeeze us for all we got left
