This is a genuine question.

I have a hard time with this. My righteous side wants him to face an appropriate sentence, but my pessimistic side thinks this might have set a great example for CEOs to always maintain a level of humanity or face unforseen consequences.

P.S. this topic is highly controversial and I want actual opinions so let’s be civil.

And if you’re a mod, delete this if the post is inappropriate or if it gets too heated.

    Do the smart thing, instead of arguing with people who think premeditated homicide can be justified just take advantage of these posts to block those people. Lemmy doesn’t have that big of a community so if you actually take the time to block them you’ll see a lot less of extremist brainwashed people in your feed

      people who think premeditated homicide can be justified

      This is, evidently, a common mainstream view. If we lived in a world where the legal system actually worked and was a viable option for dealing with them non-violently, perhaps this view wouldn’t be popular, but the working class can’t afford to pretend the system is fair. Just like citizens defending against a military invasion, sometimes homicide is the only effective action left to try.

        Soooo many accounts blocked the last few days. Bad things can happen to bad people without frothing at the mouth and going full bloodlust, but so many people here seem incapable of that.

        I get it, the victim could not be any more unsympathetic. But the responses here are beyond sickening. Thank you for being level headed; I appreciate you.

          Yes, I cannot believe how many people would like to see those they don’t like just gunned down in cold blood. What is next? You don’t like the homeless person on the corner so you just shoot them in the head?
