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.

    This CEO has murdered and would have continued to murder far far more people.

    The “basic rules of society” is that this was ok.

      That is actually not relevant, it’s whataboutism. The fact that someone does something bad doesn’t give you any right to just make your own rules.

      Otherwise you could also say I should kill that friend that drove home after one beer too many, because he could have potentially killed someone.

        I’ll allow it.
