        That’s what a lawsuit is for, not a killing. I’m all for whipping out the guillotine, but it’s gotta be for something substantial.

          Wage theft is the most common and least enforced property crime in America.

            I doubt you have a statistic to back that up.

            Regardless, this person didn’t kill them for the greater good, or to make a political and social statement. They killed them out of anger, and it did nothing for the greater good. This guy is not Luigi. He’s just a killer.

              Not the OP, but this fact is widely attested. The statistic is right on the Wikipedia page for wage theft. In 2012, the FBI estimated it to be more than $19 billion in total. The next-highest category of property crime was larceny, at $4.3 billion.

                Fair enough. Still, the “CEO” of a small trucking company shouldn’t be killed for wage theft. Cut his hand off.

            One could say a dollar is substantial. There are very easy ways to correct the issue without killing people.

            But, if you fuck with people you find out, right?

          The driver has cancer. Instead of informing workers of financial problems, this CEO was having him work for pay and medical coverage that the CEO had no intention of providing.

          Fucking with a cancer patient is “substantial”.

        Yes, we all know you want everyone more fortunate than you to die.
