Its not really just Lemmy tho. Its everywhere.
People are just mad these days and that event in NYC ignited their anger they always had.
I think most people are more like saying "LOL" at what happened rather than "Lets kill [insert person name here]". I mean, nobody really asked for it, nobody gave the pepetrator the "okay" to do it, the person just did it. People aren't sympathetic because the dead person wasn't such a nice person.
Remember how people celebrated Bin Laden's death, this is like that. Different nationality, same killer mindset that they had in common.
Ouch, some deep introspection is required if you get to a point in life where you, being an insurance CEO and being killed lead to the same kind of mob reactions as Bin Laden's death.
To be honest, the UHC CEO was probably responsible for more loss of life than Al-Qaeda was.
Also this guy did it without undermining the global vaccine movement. Thanks Obama!
