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.
Vigilante Justice in this case seems a lot better than police justice. How many people do cops murder in cold blood each year?
Teo wrongs don’t make a right. Fix the CEO issue, fix the police officer issue. Vigilantism is not the solution.
I get it, and this guy certainly deserved what came for him, but it’s not right, it’s not the solution. I don’t want to love in a world where we just start vendettas ourselves
I’m more a star trek (classic) guy than a bat man guy, so to speak
It’s so confusing that to me how you can be pro-corporate and -police reform, yet against vigilantism. Were you paying attention the last 4 years?
We had a broad based popular movement for police reform resulting in a mass popular uprising. People went so far as large scale property destruction in the name of reforming the police. A large majority of the population supported the movement at one point. And what did all that nonviolent effort get us? Not a speck of police reform to be found anywhere in this country.
Saying you want police reform through nonviolent means is a utopian vision, just like star trek. Come back to reality, read some history, the only way to reform these entrenched systems of power is through violence.
A lot.
How many billionaires have cops ever murdered in cold blood?
None.
