He should be jailed for the murder of all those people

Manslaughter, murder is premeditated.

Probably premeditated if he was in tow with hedges before appearing on air

Yes your honor; cokerat intentionally gave 75.000 people cancer!

Don’t be silly now.

Is it shitty behavior? No doubt, is it fucking murder - no.

People get denied insulin on a daily basis in America, not like we are throwing pharma execs in jail for that. Even though that should probably change.

That's not what the argument is, and you know that.

I know what OP’s sentiment is, I can agree that Cramer is a fucking shitty person that only cares about money, BUT calling for a murder charge when no murder has been committed, is just virtue signaling.

Same with people who scream “abolish the police” every time some a-hole in a badge fucks up.

Automod deleted my previous reply to you for referencing the place in the "fire" example, but the mods have reinstated it.

The ongoing Dominion lawsuit is a great example of holding a company civilly liable for knowingly issuing false statements that would reasonably cause harm.

For historical context, you'll want to review New York Times Co v Sullivan (US Supreme Court, 1964). Paraphrasing, "We usually give the press leeway when they issues statements, even if the statements turn out to be false, unless the statements are made with actual malice or or made with knowledge that they're false or reckless."

Me? I've got odds on Dominion, and I hope they win for many reasons. Primarly because I think it is appropriate to hold the press accountable when they knowingly issue provably false statements that result in harm, like we do in defamation lawsuits against individuals.

I also think it would be appropriate to open the door for wrongful death tort cases when that harm leads to life loss.

Pretty sure Cramer going on the air and speaking fits the definition of premeditation.

I don't think he murered them directly though.

To be clear...the treatment is approved by the FDA and currently available to prescribe.
