I believe anyone accused of a crime should have the right to a fair trial and a lawyer.
Until recently, I believed my opinion was mainstream.
It's not.
In Italy, a respected newspaper was attacked and vandalized by activists who claimed their coverage of the Middle East was biased. I find this extremely surprising. La Stampa has published many articles such as "Israel commits war crimes". Apparently that was not enough. There was just a wild claim on social media. That's it. Then people stormed the newspaper and vandalized it. Journalists received death threats. I think this is fucked.
Recently in France, a far-right activist was beaten to death on camera. He was on the ground and a crowd of 10/15 masked people kept beating him. The guy is far-right, but he has no criminal record. A crowd just decided that the death penalty was appropriate for him.
Never liked mob justice. Never will.

Apparently, that's no longer accepted.
If a law is bad, you change the law. That's how it works in any democracy.
If americans want a better healthcare system, all they have to do is change the law.
The issue is that :
1. Americans vote for corrupt people. Rick Scott was convicted of defrauding Medicaid and Medicare. He was still elected by the people of Florida
2. Americans insist on giving some empty states 2 senators.
3. Americans insist that the Senate needs a super-majority to pass any bill
These flaws are why americans can't have healthcare.
Ultimately, it's up to americans to fix their political system to make it more representative if they want healthcare. Killing random CEOs isn't going to work.
