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.

    That social agreement had been broken long ago by the elites like the one recently targeted. It’s funny that only now when someone finally responds in kind that it is suddenly so important.

      Don’t call them that. They’re just assholes with too much money.

      I call them the billionaire class. It has the added bonus that it makes it painfully obvious to suburbanites that they aren’t part of the club.

      That social agreement is broken because of us, we successively vote corruption into power on both sides and wonder why the system never changes…

        The politicians are not the elites in charge. No one gets to vote on the oligarchs killing and plundering the rest of us. There is no agreement that can be had with them so there is nothing to break. The only thing left to do is remove them and water the tree of liberty.

                You seem to be under the impression that you’ve asked me that question before. I’m not sure why.

                Still, if you want to shoot Trump I’m not going to stop you.
