I am NOT in favor of murder. That said [View all]

I am not sorry one bit, not even one little iota, for Brian Thompson. Those people (the executives and all others who run healthcare insurance companies) are the true DEATH COMMITTEES the RepubliKKKans like to talk about when they're "warning" us about universal healthcare. He was part of it.

Call me what you will. I can take it.
