I don't ever want to celebrate someone's death. The fact that we as a species still produce people who's removal from this earth are absolutely worthy of celebrating is gross. The act of celebrating isn't. Don't get me wrong there. But what kind of awful world produces someone who's so awful not only is his murder celebrated pretty much universally and it doesnt even chsnge anything? This is necessary violence but the fact that it is necessary and worth celebrating does illustrate how absolutely fucked and inhumane things are. I hate the ruthlessness I've had to adopt. I hate celebrating death even when I like it. I hope one day every death is an actual tragedy.

    The thing here is that the guy murdered here oversaw the company that he was in charge of was effectively in a sense condemning people to death, and as such in a sense he has a lot of blood on his hands whether he knows it or not. Did he personally deny claims that condemned people to death? Certainly not, but anyone who thinks that he had absolutely nothing to do with the circumstances that led to claims being denied that could've saved lives would be a naive fool at best, to a corporate bootlicker at worst.

    In an ideal world, he would be in a courtroom facing a trial, but we're not in that world and quite frankly until we come into an ideal world this is the closest we're going to get to that.

    This is what I said to someone who has the ideal of there should be zero reason to enact the death penalty on anyone, and to someone who also seemed receptive to more leftist thought. Reading it again, I know I definitely libbed it up in places (sadly, I'm just really used to having to really watch what I say), though I was trying to keep it concise and get the point across.
