It's a big club, and YOU ain't in it.

I agree about the gained consciousness, that's a good thing. On the other hand, being I'm firmly against death sentence (even with a trial), what I don't agree with is homicide. That's not justice. It's just vengeance. And it's a very dangerous slippery slope.

Homicide is wrong and it can be a slippery slope.

However, the system for dealing with monopolies/oligopolies is broken. Regulatory capture has occurred. The rich shifted taxes to the poor. And a Fortune 8 company continues to kill thousands of Americans and make massive profits from doing so.

The Paradox of Intolerance tells us that letting this continue will only result in the deaths of thousands more Americans. Tolerating this behavior results in more 1000x more American deaths and inspires others to profit off the pain, misery, and death of our fellow citizens.

I'm glad he's dead and I know he's burning in hell.

To be fair, that guy looks like his hands are probably grimey. I wouldn't want to touch them either.

2x0 is still 0, bro got more than twice what homie got.

so what crime would Thompson be charged with?

oh? no crimes were committed you say?

preposterous! his executive actions were costing thousands of American's their lives!

that's not illegal? ...because his support group in the DOJ won't ever make corporations take responsibility for killing people?

well...what do you get when you oppress citizens and ensure they have no legal way to stop you?

So how do you suggest to solve the situation when there are a lot of people who should be in jail or worse but they are rich so the government justice system does not work for them? In the lifetime of one person who's life was destroyed by the said evil person.

For the amount of references to people defending CEOS and billionaires, I never actually see any unless I walk by a TV blaring Fox News.

Democracy can't tolerate arbitrary homicide, but hey, whatever. I'm not the one in charge.

Engywuck

Killing them, of course. /s

Go head, buy a rifle and start your vengeance. Don't wait for others to do it, if you're so brave (spoiler: you're not and you're just talking out of your ass).

Democracy can't tolerate a lot of things that are actively happening. Most of these things are legal, and frankly, with all of the suffering and murderous actions, concern trolling over the single time the shoe is on the other foot in class warfare is about as dumb as Trump supporters thinking that because Trump was indicted that they're coming for them next. I felt safer with the murderer abroad. Everyone without gobs of money or perfect health should have.

Also, maybe the players are tired and grumpy after the match.

I find it a bit hypocritical to complain about murders while advocating murder. No problem on my part. It's not that I care. It's something that everyone has to debate with their own conscience.

The fans are why they make millions dribbling a ball though. A simple high five is not a lot to ask.

I don't think it's hypocritical to want someone committing a 9/11 scale murder yearly while a legal system nods in approval to stop murdering, but from a low power perspective there's not much to be done about that. The system has been changed from a justice seeking system into a class warfare tool by the elite. Change would be better, but in this system, change comes from above. If the powers within the system are scared, some of them will flee to the moral position to spare themselves the risk. Power that's brokered through fear is still power, it's peak liberal to say fear must remain untapped. They would and literally do kill people like us every day, empathy is precious in late stage capitalism, I'll reserve mine for people who's suffering isn't karmic.

As a photographer I'm wondering why would billionaires give autofocus about poor people...

/s obviously

Don't forget you wouldn't even be privileged to have this conversation with the billionaires who conspire to rob and then kill us every single day. The coward talking out of their ass is the one who looks at a broken power structure and can only muster a meek, "not like this." Save your speeches for those doing the real killing.

Engywuck

Yeah, man, whatever. This conversation is not interesting anymore.

True. But athletes are still people and they are allowed to be themselves.

That's silly, a shocking amount of media sources are in cover their ass mode not just fox. LinkedIn has posts. Twitter has posts. Even SNL, shockingly, is a little bit "can we not be cheering a killer on air?"

So..I call bs, this is everywhere.
