Wasn't "delay deny defend" written on the bullet casings? The healthcare CEO was seemingly killed for how his company does business, a business that plays a central role in the lives of Americans and affects millions, the story here is not just about his bank account. You can argue that company affects people negatively. You could argue that politically motivated assassination in this case was good or justified. But I don't think it's a good argument to try to say that there is no reason to give such assassinations special attention, because there obviously is; preventing vigilante acts of assassination from being the determining factor in how the country is run.
