That indiscriminate attack killed over 160 people and killed or wounded an entire daycare center of babies and young children.

I'm not justifying what happened to the healthcare CEO, but it was a carefully targeted killing of a single individual with a clearly defined role in a system that we all agree is there to profit at the expense of other people's lives.

I don't think these kinds of comparisons help in any way.
