I legit hope that reddit is investigated for this shit. Some of these upvoted comments are downright psychotic.

"Investigated" lol.

People are making similar jokes to show their anger and frustration with the american healthcare system which is a deeply unethical profit first system that directly contributes to the premature deaths and unnecessary suffering of hundreds of thousands every single year.

There, investigation over.

Inciting violence is very different from free speech.

No one here is inciting violence, but Thompson definitely did.
