Exactly. We already knew that.

They don't. I've met one person since that useless human got deleted that couldn't understand why everyone was unsympathetic toward him. The person was very wealthy and has no understanding of how things are for the majority of people in the US. These people are really a lot like the french nobles before the french revolution.

And there are also tons of people who take the sorta-centrist view that "no matter how bad the corporation's acts, killing its ceo is wrong!!!!!!!" and only view using a gun against a black (now mexican/muslim bubba fetishes as well) 'robber' as valid self defense.

Sure but this person wasn't one of them. She was born into a wealthy family and has never wanted. for anything. There are plenty of these types around who would probably end themselves if they ever lost it all.

I wasn't contradicting you or trying to say that my assertion was the correct one about your example, just adding on to how many different ways we are deviating from the "so pretty much everyone" idea. I probably should have put in there how they don't even look at the corporation's acts as bad, justifying it in the typical 'money is all that matters' view commonly held, and that's what truly guides their statements about killing of ceos.
