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.

    Yes, I do.

    I want the state to make it crystal clear that this guy was the shooter. That he did it. That he had no legal justification to do it. That his actions were undeniably criminal, and that his crime was clearly premeditated.

    And then I want a jury of his peers to return a “not guilty” verdict, and every scumbag business executive across the country suddenly deciding to take an early retirement.

    His jury can’t return that not guilty verdict if he isn’t prosecuted.

      That would be nice. Therefor the powers that be would not let it a jury trial happen. Look at what happens to anyone who pisses off putin (trump’s model for the US). Look at what happen to Epstine or the Boeing whisleblowers. We don’t do justice in this country anymore than we do Healthcare.
