Yeah... I can't blame them, the apathy is real on this one, lots of people get murdered everyday, they don't get this coverage, I don't care more because this guy was a rich CEO, feels like the media is overhyping it because the rich are scared that some folks are deciding they need to water the tree of liberty. Pretty sure this is only going to get worse as people get squeezed more and more.
I'm not blanket saying assassination is ok, but I'm also not saying I couldn't consider voting to acquit this guy for jury nullification purposes if I were on the jury.
It’s not even apathy for a lot of people. It’s jubilation that someone whose wealth directly came from making others’ lives shorter and more miserable got his life shortened.
There was a shower thought the other day on Lemmy that said that the whole situation is a real life trolley problem.
Why'd you link Wikipedia and not the post? Lol
Because if you already know the trolley problem, you already know the whole content of the post. If you don't, now you do.
Did I mix them up? In case somebody didn't know what the trolley problem was, I figured i'd link to that, but got to my bus stop before I could find the original shower thought. I still haven't figured out how to find stuff in Lemmy.
Honestly, the more coverage of this the better. Let's set the president that bad CEO decisions might result in your death.
