    Honestly, I’m surprised, in this economy, more terminal cancer individuals aren’t going out like this, human nature being what it is. You give people nothing left to lose and a percentage will go there.

      planning and committing a murder takes time and energy, things that the terminally ill are often lacking.

        That’s why you start planning when you get the diagnosis.

        That way all you have to do when you get terminal is execute.

      Humans have been domesticating each other for a while. The number of humans that will crash out has been steadily decreasing as a result of said domestication.

      If he’s terminal I don’t think he even cares what happens, he might not even make it to a trial.

    Such a tragic and preventable death. How many more innocent CEOs must die before the U.S. devotes the resources to solving the seemingly impossible problem of fairly compensating workers for their labor and providing for basic needs like healthcare?

        Everyone is upvoting and laughing but no one is offering up numbers.

        This is a serious problem that needs solving!

        Is it, 10, 20 — 100!? How many until this problem is solved?
        Or is it like school shootings (where there isn’t really a number, and it’s just thots and playas) instead of like, suspected voter fraud (where one instance is enough to warrant disenfranchising millions of voters).

          Ok, now I’m confused. Are you actually concerned with the amount of “innocent ceos” being killed…?

            Looks like the only concern is that the number isn’t higher.

        It’s not murder, it’s justifiable homicide.

          if a bank did the same thing it would definitively be murder.

            If it’s justified for an imperiled person to use potentially-lethal force against an attacker at a particular moment in time in defense of self, it is justifiable for anyone to use that same level of force against that same attacker at that same moment in time in defense of that imperiled person.

            If the killer’s actions were justifiable homicide, the “bank [doing] the same thing” would also be justifiable homicide.

            True, but they also think it is “murder” when I eat my dino nuggies. They clearly don’t know what “murder” actually is.

            This was suicide. “Being a CEO” in 2025 is suicidal ideation.
