How evil does a person have to be before it is acceptable to celebrate his death? This man devoted his life to profiting from human suffering. The fact that the law was on his side does not excuse his actions; it simply means that he worked within an evil system.
Feelings on the topic should allow for nuance and shades of grey, not everything is black and white. Im in OPs camp… Dont celebrate the death of any human, and the amount of damage to peoples lives the company this guy helmed does is unfathomable. You are allowed to hold both opinions.
Feels a lot easier to me since in my mind the analogy becomes “do you kill the dude that’s pulling the lever to a track with many thousands on it instead of the track with some money on it so you can see if the next person will change the lever back”

If the death of a human saves the lives of a bunch of humans, isn’t it then a celebration of life?
I think the ideal outcome is the person changes and stops hurting people. Though in america its pretty unlikely to happen due to greed and ego.
And if that outcome isnt guaranteed, or even likely, is violence that may save many justified?
It’s a real-life trolley problem…

Hitler level is sure cause for celebration.
How about all the wealthy people who invested in his regime. Can we hate them too?
