My thoughts: Completely and utterly acceptable without hesitation and the only nuance here is that it's a shame it didn't become a trend. Not that I'd condone violence. I clearly don't, I condemn the violence these rich fucks inflict upon society
If we had a justice system (one that actually uh, delivered justice), then letting the courts deal with the CEO(s) would be the correct thing to do. We absolutely don't have such honorable courts and have little other recourse except this.
Luigi's only crime was denying Brian Thompson due process. His crime was the same as that of a police officer that illegally searches someone's car. Morally, that's the level of offense of what Luigi did.
In a just world, Brian Thompson would have been charged, tried, convicted, and hanged for the thousands of people he killed. Make no mistake, he was a murderer. If there is a Hell below, he is burning there now. The number of people he killed make Osama Bin Ladin's numbers look like amateur hour. Brian Thompson, in any justice system that endorses the death penalty, absolutely deserved to die. Luigi's main crime was denying Thompson his day in court and the ability to face his accuser. But, then again, it's not like we gave Osama his day in court either. We shot that like a dog and dumped his body in the ocean, and no one batted an eye. We all celebrated it, and no one wept for him being denied a fair trial. Osama never got his due process and day in court.
I did... Not so much for him personally, but for the number of high ranking CIA and other officials that might have been exposed along the way...
I understand it. You're in good company. I just can't be so cavalier about it. If everyone is running around playing Batman, it won't only be criminals who suffer.
It's only the extremely wealthy that can kill with impunity in our legal system. If someone shoots a relative of mine, I don't need to go hunt them down and take care of them myself. For that type of crime, the justice system will try to hold them to account. It is only the crimes of the wealthy and powerful that are not punished by the law. Kill one person with a knife? Life in prison. Kill tens thousand with a pen? You're a job creator.
I am not worried about a mass campaign of bloody violence unleashed upon the entire population. The kinds of grievances ordinary people have against one another can already be handled in the criminal and civil courts. It is only the crimes of murderers like Thompson that go unpunished. They are the only ones at risk in such a campaign.
To you, the evil is Thompson. To someone else, it's Biden. Or Obama. Yeah we can just go full French Revolution and murder every single one of them, but that's not a world I want to live in.
Sure, but conservatives are by n' large, spineless cowards.
be the change, my friend
