   More on the social fallout from the killing of Brian Thompson of CEO UnitedHealthCare.... we may find out in the next few weeks whether this represents a flash in the pan, or the beginning of a major social resistance to the horrors of the US private health care system.

     @ChrisMayLA6 I’m all for civil disobedience to fight injustice but killing people is going a bit far! 😬 That said, I hope the Democrats take notice and put “single payer” healthcare back on the agenda. #health #USPol

     @burnoutqueen @ChrisMayLA6 I still think whatever his beef with the company was, he shouldn’t have shot the CEO. My mum had a problem with her private health insurance a while back and many angry phone calls were had; my mum is no pushover! Still she refrained from shooting the CEO! 😂

     "A bit too far" is letting tens of thousands of working class people die from preventable diseases every year.

     @burnoutqueen @ChrisMayLA6 there’s a lot more things you could do that don’t involve killing anyone, obviously!
