    I think the powers that be underestimate our thirst for justice. This is the closest thing to justice for the rich we’ve seen in - maybe our lives?

    I don’t want to live in a world of vigilante justice but this kind of thing is inevitable when the system fails us for as long as it has.

        Karmic justice sure - aside from the kid who got roped into taking that voyage by his dad. Billionaires hubris treats the world as their plaything, and find out that nature doesn’t care about your net worth

      I do want to live in that world. Make the plutocrats be afraid of breaking 1 billion in net worth, because everyone would know that’s how you end up on the hit list.

        I hope we never find out who did it. The killer just becomes this DB Cooper-esque legend who came out of nowhere, kill a CEO, and disappear never to be seen again. And even better, proving the complete and utter incompence of the NYPD, when they can’t manage to catch someone who killed in broad daylight in a city of cameras.

          They will find someone on the street and frame them if they can’t find the legit shooter.

        Is it preferable to status quo? It may even be morally justifiable. But the world I’d want to live in is one where people like this face justice through the same system you and I would.

          the system changes the laws to make this behaviour legal. therefore no crime. no trial. no retribution. lots of profit for investors.

        Deny that you know or even saw them. Defend them if they do get caught, through protest, fundraising, bail, etc. Depose those who put them in jail if they are sentenced.
