In reply to the discussion: Texas man accused of threatening to slaughter Capital One execs who robbed him of 'life he deserves' [View all]WokeAintWhatIAm
(10 posts)The mindset in this man, as was in the New York UHC-CEO shooter is a result of the lawlessness of those who have now taken power. There effectively can be no law when there is no accountability by those who have the highest positions in our society.
CEO's have no accountability for embezzlement, mismanagement of investments, opportunism and self-enrichment when others lose all they have. Enron, The 2008 Market Crash over Subprime-Mortgage Investment instruments, Congress taking campaign funds from both sides of the aisle, and allowing CEOs to take bonuses during taxpayer bailouts.
The only people who respect the law are those who can least afford to defend themselves against the actions of the large corporations. Succinctly - there is no law which protects the common person form a large entity, a wealthy or influential person.
Outside of hegemony leaving room for some pantomime of rational discussion, the truth is that this is oligarchy, and the momentum of the political system has driven us here. Functionally there is no law until the law yields calculable outcomes based on the merits of infractions and punishments. Without the consistency in outcomes, dispositions, rewards and disclosures - there is no justice.
