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.

    An answer to a different question, but if he gets caught I hope that the media gives him the same treatment as school shooters; plastering his image everywhere, distributing his manifesto and transforming him into an antihero.

    Yes, and I want him found innocent by a jury of his peers.

    But we all know the police are going to shoot him 17 times in the back in self defense if they find him

    For the social agreement society has, it’s irrelevant if you think this person is a hero or a villain, they need to be tried by a jury of their peers in a court of law.

    If they are not, then the social agreement that we don’t go around murdering people, no matter the intent changes and life becomes very difficult.

    Don’t suggest to the mods that its OK to censor. We need to remind them how to do their job, not how to abuse their job

    From a rule of law perspective the shooter needs to be punished.

    But considering the amount of suffering that CEO and other senior leaders at that company have inflicted on innocent sick people, there’s a big fat dose of karma that goes with this incident, . And I wouldn’t throw the book at the shooter (although you know they will).
