(5,038 posts)it's astounding they didn't figure what goes around comes around.
Haven't seen anybody laughing about this execution, but plenty who understand why, and nodding that sometimes, justice might prevail whether the courts or personal action brings it about. When real regulation and/or the courts continually fail, personal action becomes more likely.
There is a point at which a population rendered helpless by a system will rise up to deal directly with that system. Not a laughing matter at all. More a situation where the societal 'winners' forget the logical result of over exploiting/abusing, and start learning the hard way what they should have learned the easy way from history.
Isn't it a reality that wealthy corporate types are aware of danger in nations where the exploitation has been the worst for a long time? Did they never consider their greed and cruelty would eventually push Americans into fury and desperate actions too?
"Lord, what fools these mortals be!" indeed.
