I’m not down with vigilante murder or anything because it seems like the slipperiest of slopes, but what other option is there in a situation where someone seeks to make an impact in this way? You can’t just beat em up and let them go back to work. It would be naïve to expect them to change their ways when faced with consequences for their actions and then promptly let go. It just seems like the chances that it emboldens their penchant for exploitative behaviour and disdain for people in need are too high.

We’re just born into and strapped to this capitalist ride and expected to sit quiet and make these leeches their billions. How else can this cancerous greed possibly be dealt with? Honest question. I’m terribly conflicted.

IN NO WAY AM I CONDONING, ENDORSING OR SUGGESTING THAT THIS BEHAVIOUR IS ACCEPTABLE, OK? I’m just genuinely curious what more reasonable and intelligent minds than mine think about this.

    Moral. Immoral.

    There’s no quantifying it because the opposing classes are not equal. They have the money, police, political support, media support, the entirety of the power structure of this country.

    We have numbers, and little if anything left to lose.
