Man charged with health insurance CEO murder to accept $300,000 in donations
Lawyer says 26-year-old accused ‘very much appreciates the outpouring of support’ on fundraising platform

Asking someone if they support violence is like asking if they support the coriolis effect. It’s a fact of life, not just for humans but every living thing, that we have to deal with sometimes. It’s a nonsensical question in most contexts.

In this case, if they support self-defense against institutional violence.
