    Punishment for abuse of power should be proportional to the power abused, these people had influence, but not as much as the CEO. Murder, or more aptly “assassination” is not something that should be taken lightly.

    Does no one deserve death in your view? Or do only those that kill violently deserve death?

    How bad does a leader have to be considered violent in your eyes? Would they have to command an army to kill innocent lives? Or do you think they would have to wield a gun themselves?

        I don’t know much about them, and I am not for meaningless murder, so I would not support their deaths. I believe that you have missed a few questions of my own in your response, however.

        Do you believe there are circumstances where someone can deserve death? And if so, what are those circumstances?

          And you knew more about Brian Thompson before he was murdered? I don’t buy it.

          Didn’t miss them, just not moving on from mine first.

          Do you believe there are circumstances where someone can deserve death?

          Of course.

          And if so, what are those circumstances?

          Not sure it’s possible to give an exhaustive list. One example would be that someone has a gun pointed at me with clear intent to kill me. I would be justified in killing them before they can pull the trigger.

            No, obviously not before he was murdered. When did I say that? With the facts we have now, it seems to me like he deserved the fate that was brought to him: death.

            Is self defense a necessary component of killing then? Or do you think it is justified to kill to save another? A family member for example?

              The CTO and CDO are just a quick Google search away – like I said, they would be at the top of the chain of command for all the tech systems they’re using to maximise profit. What more do you need to know to make the call?

              Yup, sure.
