Meh. A bad dude died. The bad dude's actions resulted on the order of at least >1 death/ day. If not for their death, we couldn't be having this broader conversation on what we can do to "solve" the billionaire problem. Even if it involves the sacrifice of one innocent person, its probably all been worth it, and will continue to be if the pattern continues.
losing two peoples < losing many people + starting a broader movement
Its a net gain regardless.
A better argument would be Blue Cross Blue Shield immediately changing a controversial policy afterwards.
