        Sounds like you care about someone very rich and very exploitative, and you don’t like the idea of scores of people cheering in the event they’d have the same done to them by someone they’d exploited.

        I want to assure you that we do not care about your feelings. We’ll celebrate their passing and few will sympathize with your grief.

          I don’t agree with innocent people being gunned down for no reason.

            I’m gonna guess you’re not worried about someone else, you’re feeling some kind of guilt about exploiting a lot of people.

              It’s sick to think there’s people like you in the world who condone killing innocent people just because you don’t like them.
