    My grandfather killed a nazi and became a hero. Ms. Sherry does it and she becomes the enemy. That doesn’t seem fair.

      Your grandfather went to war to protect the world from a global enemy. Mr. Sherry got drunk and drove on the way killing a nazi. These two things are not even close to be the same. Lets just be happy a nazi died. No need to justify DUI.

    Just like the mass murdering shooter who killed the Blackstone executive in his spree. I don’t condone mass shootings, but sometimes some good accidentally comes of it.

      So I get the thought, and fuck billionaires, but did any real “good” precipitate from this? It’s not like her position and the negative consequences of that position don’t exist anymore. They’ll just hire someone else who will be willing to sell their soul for the money. All that happened because of this is they’re going to ratchet up security…

      Even the United health guy even if he’s not there the next guy is going to make the same decisions because ultimately there’s only one decision you can make if you’re only goal is to raise the stock price next guy is going to do the same thing, we’re treating the symptom not the cause.

        Enough of them start paying for their actions - they won’t be able to fill the position. Plus, any skilled job takes time to replace a trained worker so it slows their parasitic plans. It’d be better for it to happen to actual billionaires like Peter Theil. Consequences for actions give people pause when they push too far. The rich are seeing no consequences, it’s why they have become so bold. Fear is a powerful motivator. Narcissists only fear things that directly affect them. Plus, it’s not like this was a good woman. Her job was to buy up all the housing she could and jack up rents for as much profit as possible. This directly causes homelessness which kills tons of people. Just because you call it business doesn’t mean it’s not evil. The scale of this type of investing is a direct cause of the housing crisis.

    We are in an administration that lives by “the ends justify the means”, so I’ll allow it this once.

    can you imagine trying to repent and make amends for this one, and every loved one of that asshole is just as bad as they are.

      The good thing about forgiveness is that it doesn’t have to be actually granted in order for the person to see the errors in their way and meaningfully repent. Works the other way too, you don’t have to forgive anyone for anything ever (though that can arguably be harmful to yourself).

    You know I wanted to at least enjoy that a Nazi was unable to Nazi anymore considering the overwhelming number of Nazis today, only to discover the girl killed him in 2018.

    Yeah no, saying fascists aren’t human beings isn’t “funny” or “quirky”. Is fascists dying a beautiful thing? Sure. But they’re still humans.

    To tell the truth I backed over the last two with my car.

    Fortunately they turned out to be Nazis.
