You are seriously missing the point here, and I really can’t tell at this point if you’re trolling or just not expressing yourself clearly. Can you please stop posting the same juvenile, inane comment all over Lemmy? That the gunman “didn’t like” the CEO has absolutely nothing to do with the situation. This is not grade school: nobody called someone else a name, or spread a rumor about someone else, or broke someone’s favorite pencil. We’re not talking about “not liking” someone personally; we’re talking about someone who has committed what amount to crimes against humanity being taken down by a vigilante. The gunman very probably never met nor spoke with the CEO until he shot him.

Now, the potential consequences of widespread vigilantism? That is an interesting and worthwhile topic. And, having seen a half-dozen or so of your comments, I suspect that this is what is actually making you nervous. This was an extrajudicial killing, which is very much against the original decrees of the US (trial by jury, etc). But, maybe we are so far gone due to corruption… Again, this is where the conversation gets interesting.
