I am currently reading a dictional novel about rich people assassinating other rich people that they think are nasty. It might be where the idea came from.
Anything to protest about America or the straight white man, if he had of been black or illegal minority, it would be because he is minority, then his lawyered-up family would be all over the news saying what a great man he was.
I am with Beth- regardless - cheering the death of another person, least publicly is disgusting. Granted the CEO maybe shud have been hung up by his toes and whipped.. but another person shooting him in the back- what a coward he is.
He was just another person going about his day trying to make a living. That he made a better living than most of us is no reason to shoot him down like a dog. He was not personally responsible for "corporate greed".
I heard on some sites that he was trying to make the corporate policy more friendly to customers. Maybe they killed the very person who was trying to help.
