    Absolutely. I feel empathy for the United CEOs family, while also recognizing they are going to be financially fine. They also have a chance to reflect on any grief and how affected families may not be sympathetic for valid reasons. Whether they do or not depends on whether they value healing, or greed/retribution.

          Why does it need defending? I’m not saying they are deserving of the same fate as Brian, but I don’t feel bad for them for no longer having such a vile man around. If they are good people as you say, they would rejoice as well.

            “They are nearly as demented as him.” That’s why. I don’t know any of those people, but this whole “sins of the father” bullshit doesn’t fly in the modern world. They aren’t responsible for what a douchebag he was, or anything he did a UHC. In fact it looks like at least his wife figured out he was a douchebag since she left him. So I’m just wondering what your source for the claim was.

        You’re talking about a 16 year old, a 19 year old, and his estranged wife who is a physical therapist. What’s demented about them?
