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.
“Right” and “Left” are meaningless words in politics which have no concrete definition, have no useful material basis, are relative to context, and group contradictory ideologies together into a nonsensical strawman. The left-right spectrum just isn’t a meaningful way of interpreting politics.
Case in point: “right-leaning” mass media is generally defending the CEO, while others we would consider “right” are pro-shooter.
You are correct but you are also either not recognizing or being dense about what I meant, ie people on both sides within my life and social media are essentially cheering this despite what media says.
Ehh, yes, I suppose I was being intentionally dense in a way, overlooking the point of unity, because I believe events like this show us exactly why the left-right framework should be fought; the ‘left’ and ‘right’ are unified when it comes to class conflict! The real split lies in who is the owner class and who isn’t.
I was regrettably blunt and antagonistic, sorry.
I love this reply. It shows integrity and self reflection, also taking accountability. Thank you.
