This guy is proof of a problem that is growing right under our noses, and more of a threat than most realize. He, and his wacky fans, just likely made it harder to fix what's wrong with the healthcare system.

Chris, NO one is trying to "fix" the problem in healthcare. Give me a BREAK dude.

He is proof that our systems are broken, and people are tired of being ignored and bent over. I'm not defending his actions, but that's my perception.

Profit based healthcare is the problem, murder is never a solution

This kid represents the frustration in our broken healthcare system. We all share his negative experience with insurance companies and the healthcare industry to some degree. If you think it's terrible now, wait until a corrupt douchbag like RFK Jr possibly runs the DHS and the Trump government repels ACA. I don't want to see a 26-year-old get a life sentence and go to prison for the rest of his life. I'm not pro-violence and killing, but if we don't fix our broken, corrupt system, many more killings will follow. It seems that you have lost touch with this country's harsh reality. Wake up! People are tired and angry, especially our young kids. This kid is a victim of the corrupt and unjust system. I can assure you that most of his fans are not wacky but, surprisingly, super bright Gen-Zers.

This is another lecture of pure nonsense. We have always had white folks like Kennedys that appropriate the pain of locked-out folks—it used to be called compassion or allyship. You don't have to be poor or sick to feel for those who are. To try to attach it to an outbreak of violence is bullshit. The background of Palestinian protest reveals your own media bias, why not the IDF killing innocent civilians women, and children in Gaza? Explain the CCJ and amnesty international findings.

I have always respected you and have been very courteous with my replies to your tweets. The people you are referring to as wacky are fed up. My dad would probably still be alive if he wasn’t denied coverage after he had his stroke.

Why do you so confidently assume he is talking about Healthcare and not about his arrest?

You need to talk more about how far we, by the millions, have been pushed to desperation & anger, left w/the feeling of utter helplessness, that somebody finally pulls a trigger & the rest of us cheer. And I reject your argument that personal suffering is required to retaliate.

The government being involved in all aspects of healthcare is the problem. This is what America wanted with socialized medicine that we have now. Enjoy!

What he did is wrong but his message isn’t wrong. You can be enraged about a bad act without having experienced it. Just being a witness to it is bad enough.
