Love that the entire internet, left, right, authoritarian, liberal, and everyone in-between came out to say “lol, get rekt, oligarch.” Nothing I’ve ever seen has been as unifying as this. Running for office under the banner of beheading CEOs might sincerely get you elected.
I think the powers that be underestimate our thirst for justice. This is the closest thing to justice for the rich we've seen in - maybe our lives?
I don't want to live in a world of vigilante justice but this kind of thing is inevitable when the system fails us for as long as it has.
I hope we never find out who did it. The killer just becomes this DB Cooper-esque legend who came out of nowhere, kill a CEO, and disappear never to be seen again. And even better, proving the complete and utter incompence of the NYPD, when they can't manage to catch someone who killed in broad daylight in a city of cameras.
They will find someone on the street and frame them if they can’t find the legit shooter.
Is it preferable to status quo? It may even be morally justifiable. But the world I'd want to live in is one where people like this face justice through the same system you and I would.
the system changes the laws to make this behaviour legal. therefore no crime. no trial. no retribution. lots of profit for investors.
