[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would never do something like that, but I certainly don't feel bad about their deaths.

It isn't as of ordinary Americans have asked (or work hard) for a better life, for a very long time. People are tired of struggling and getting nowhere, while the rich keep getting richer.

And no, many CEO's or people in positions of power didn't get there because they "worked hard" - they got there because of privilege, connections, and putting massive greed above ethics. It's a kind of selfishness that many are personally offended by, because it affects them and their daily lives.

So I wouldn't say I support it. But I get it.[/quote]

This is about where I'm at. Not supporting or celebrating, but I get it and would say I'm pretty apathetic about it? [b]We are a country who doesn't care when a bunch of kindergarteners are slaughtered, we've accepted that as a culturally normal and acceptable thing, so with that barometer in mind I don't get misty eyed when some shithead who contributed to so much illness and death is taken out[/b]. Would I encourage it? No. Do it myself? Obviously not. But could I get over it if this murderer had taken off to Thailand and we never found him? Ehhh yes.[/quote]

This is where I’m at. If my kids were shot up at school it would be out of the headlines as soon as the next shooting or big thing pops up. No one would be providing extra security.

Also, where is the thread calling out the lack of empathy for all the people who were harmed/killed by their insurance claims being denied for corporate profit? Those people had families and worked hard too?

That said I dislike guns and wish they weren’t so embedded in our culture. I am not wishing for CEOs to be executed on our streets. But this is also a crime where I’m like ehhh I get the animosity toward the victim (he was engaging in white collar crime). If a gang member is shot dead in the streets we all sort of say yeah, he was a bad guy who pissed someone off and got shot, and then we move along with our lives. And law enforcement is usually not expending major efforts to catch the person who did it.

I am actually upset about the fact that the perpetrator has so many tax dollars going toward finding him because he’s a rich white man while other unknown more vulnerable victims have files growing cold.[/quote]
