...that I am glad to see people are starting to believe that people must be held accountable for their actions.

I said that in response to the OP which highlighted that people are beginning to believe that people must be held accountable for their actions by pointing out that "Most Americans" blame the unjust aquisition of insurance profits and denials (at the expense of proper and rightful medical treatment for those rightfully covered) for the murder as well as blaming the murderer himself.

In other words, I am glad to see that people are aware there can be consequences for harmful actions, otherwise known as "accountability".

I did not, in any of my posts ever, condone the murder of the insurance guy, or any of the multiple murders he committed for profit, and as my words above attest, I hope for accountability for any wrongful actions, always.
