We’ve seen a CEO shot, and the majority of people definitely don’t cheer it on; just a very vocal minority. Moreover, he may yet get the death penalty; I’m not sure I’d call that any more “fragile” than any other shooting.



Not to mention that that CEO was in health insurance. A very emotionally charged industry where someone’s life or death is directly affected by CEO decisions.


It's a minority here, on a forum like this one that has become targeted towards the well-off (it wasn't like that in beginning, but in the end those yearly 600k comps did add up and have changed many of the users here into upper-middle-class people). But out in the real world? Not in the least, out there Luigi is a hero, as he deserves to be.


That is simply not true. Moreover, this forum is not “targeted towards the well-off.”

Out in the real world, Luigi is a criminal who shot a man in cold blood and sparked a conversation. That’s about it.

Hardly a hero. And the majority of the populace does not agree with you.


Please don't post spurious generalizations about this community. What you said here is completely made up.
