And so I think that\u2019s a problem, I think, that this should be the reaction from the younger generation to this assassination, this premeditated assassination, which has resulted in a very rare first degree murder charge in New York State, because it\u2019s an act, was an act considered an act of terrorism, which pushes it up from second degree murder to first degree murder. You\u2019re seeing that reaction is something that is very frightening for our society, and I think you may see play out in other cases that people think it\u2019s okay to kill somebody you disagree with or you think has a bad capitalist job.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If we continue to teach our young adults that capitalism is evil, where will the next generation of entrepreneurs come from?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Tuesday, Legal Insurrection posted an article about the reaction to the killing of the CEO or UnitedHealthcare.
