Truth is, people celebrated before we had any idea who this guy was. He wasn’t famous or a public figure before he was killed. People didn’t hate the man that died, nor his kids.
People cheered because of what he represented. People didn’t celebrate his death, they celebrated that it made his type of person look like they aren’t untouchable.
Anyone who has kids and wants to leave a good legacy for their kids will now have to take into account whether they want their kids to end up like this guy’s kids. I know I won’t be accepting any c-suite jobs any time soon, but I’ve turned down jobs in the past because they didn’t align with my morals.
people like him are not like most of us. The amount of wealth they've acquired is absolutely an indicator of that. There are many legitimate reasons to hate the man.
Same, I turned one down earlier this year. No amount of money would make me hurt people like he did.
There are a lot of situations out there where people, myself included, say one thing but when it comes down to it, they'd do the same thing if given the chance. I try to be cognizant of that but this is one time where I can absolutely say I wouldn't be in that situation. I've turned down jobs for much less. Granted I wasn't offered anywhere near the kind of money this jagoff was making but money isn't a factor when it comes to something like this.
Are you the Roofer/ Stormtrooper-unsympathist from Clerks?
So I turned the job over to a friend of mine . . .
