The Supreme Court has rejected a nationwide settlement with OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma that would've shielded Sackler family members who own the company from civil lawsuits over the toll of opioids but also would've provided billions of dollars to combat the epidemic.
The Sacklers should be slow-roasted over hot coals, so I am not sure how to feel about this
The current deal allowed them to avoid any criminal liability and keep all the billions they made. It just made them lose their company.
I think this ruling is good, since it opens the family up to criminal liability and possibly losing billions of dollars.
I’m kinda into the “cruel and unusual” punishment of giving them their own medicine, literally. Make them drooling messes of human beings and put them on display.
There’s only one death penalty that I support. And it’s deep-frying.
