      You can be against this kind of behavior while also not celebrating murder, you know?

        Thanks, but I’m 100% cool with vigilante justice for a man who profited at the death and misery of countless others. I’ll take Luigi’s justice when there is no alternative. And there is none, truly. Otherwise the rapists Gaetz and Trump would be rotting in prison.

        But hey: enjoy your moral high ground.

          You might think I’m being the self-righteous one. I actually think its the other way around. In a country with democracy and rule of law giving up on the belief that murder is wrong as a matter of principle just because it fits your narrative. What would you say when a person you ideologically support gets murdered as they caused violent protests that align with your ideology. Would you be opposed to that.

          What am I even getting at. Murder and chaos like this has no place in society. At least not in one where the people can make sovereign choices.

        I think many people are celebrating the karma. If anyone had it coming, he sure did.

          A CEO is a position, not a person. Killing him isn’t any sort of defense when he isn’t actively endangering others.

          It’s murder, even if it’s justified. Stop these idiotic word games. They only weaken your position.

            He is mass murderer. Would you clutch pearls if someone assassinated a warlord?

              He (the warlord) would still be murdered. Just with a justification - So it is really only a word game

              Self defense only applies when you literally defend yourself from an attack in that moment. If you get away from a warlord with your life and kill him a day later thats again murder.

              Pointing out your wanton violation of language isn’t pearl clutching.

              If your use of the word warlord is equivocated to all hell like your other vocab choices our warlord might be a janitor or some shit, so it’s hard to say.

              Edit: also, merry christmas. I hope the holiday season has been well :)

        You can be, but the world will be a better place in 50 years if 7 billion people were murdered today ,so you also dont have to.
