> Can you really be innocent while being a high level leader of an organization that is widely seen acting unethical by majority of the population?

Yes.

Loud social media trolls should not be considered as representative of the majority of people. Even if they were we do not live under mob rule so it wouldn’t matter if they were representative.


Murder is always wrong. Vigilante justice is wrong. Violence is wrong. Plenty of people, when put to a vote, would have the majority of society deem them “unethical”.

If you want to put men to the sword based on a vote, pray you don’t get into the minority! Trump won the popular vote after all


> Murder is always wrong. Vigilante justice is wrong.

Plenty of problems with tyrants, dictators and flat out murderers themselves have been resolved by murder.


> Trump won the popular vote after all

The fact that he wasn't punished for a laundry list of offenses that would have put a normal person in prison for life has been a pretty clear indication that the rule of law is, in fact, dead, and that it is a popularity contest.

This seems to support the notion that the rule of law is, in fact, dead.


Always? So, let’s say there’s someone in your home raping your wife and child. You enter. They do not notice you. You have a gun. So do they.

Do you politely ask them to please stop and would you like to discuss your trauma, friend?

Grow up. This is the real world, not Peter bloody Rabbit.

Sorry. Mea culpa entirely. “Rough day” doesn’t even begin to cover yesterday and the past week, and I am apparently acting more like an asshole than usual.

No excuse, all the same.


Appreciated! It happens. I hope things have started to get better.


I wouldn’t call shooting a man from behind on the street equivalent to shooting a man raping your child. Murder is not equivalent to homicide
