I mean, we need to look at the overall picture. If we’re going to say that it’s shocking that people have a flippant attitude towards the cold-blooded murder of 1 human being, then we equally have to say that it’s shocking that these CEOs and insurance companies are flippant about the cold-blooded killing of thousands of human beings.

The only difference between Mangione and the CEOs is that Mangione did his killing with a gun while those CEOs/companies did it with a pen. And those companies ran up a far higher death toll.
