I’d really rather not jail people who didn’t do anything illegal



And so we allow people to trivially circumvent the law by shielding themself behind a shell corporation, and never are consequences seen.


Are they getting huge bonuses or dividends?


Jailing people just for having a stake in a company that did something illegal could kill the economy. People would be affraid to invest in companies, and move money to simple things like real estate (or to foreign investments).


> to simple things like real estate (or to foreign investments)

Are you saying that is not happening now?


You want to make it worse?


It is already worse.


If the companies they’re investing in aren’t doing anything dodgy they’ve got nothing to worry about.


How would they know that though? It's a huge personal risk that can be alleviated simply by investing in anything else in the world besides US companies.


Is that why you think exonerating, platforming, and worshipping Kyle Rittenhouse is justified? Because you think murdering innocent people in the name of racism should be legal, as well as mass murdering hundreds of thousands of innocent people by denying health care in the name of massive profits, earning $10 million per year plus $64 million in UnitedHealth Group stock as blood money?

Please explain your previous statement you posted on that topic, which I asked you to explain but you failed to answer, because I really want to understand how the twisted minds of people like you work, and how you justify such extreme cognitive dissonance, hypocrisy, blatant racism, and cold blooded profiteering murderers, including Brian Thompson, Kyle Rittenhouse, Daniel Penny, and George Zimmerman?

Daily Show Accuses Right of Hypocrisy With Montage of Pundits Condemning CEO Killer and Celebrating Kyle Rittenhouse:

The Daily Show posted a video of right-wing pundits condemning the praise of the CEO shooter, and juxtaposed it with footage of Kyle Rittenhouse being praised.

The killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York last week has controversially been celebrated by some who are frustrated with the state of the health insurance industry in the country. That praise has been met with harsh criticism from both Republicans and Democrats.

On Wednesday, The Daily Show published a montage of Fox News pundits criticizing those who are praising accused shooter Luigi Mangione. Directly next to montage, however, was footage of Rittenhouse being introduced at a Turning Point USA event — giving the impression that the pundits are actually calling out the praise for the 21-year-old who killed two protestors in Kenosha, Wisconsin in 2020.

“Fox News talking about Luigi Mangione, but make the footage Kyle Rittenhouse,” the tweet said.

The video began with Turning Point founder Charlie Kirk saying on stage, “Let’s get loud for Kyle Rittenhouse.” Seconds later, a clip of Sean Hannity talking about Mangione’s praise was shown.

“Murder, assassination, vigilantism,” Hannity said. “It’s wrong; it’s evil; it’s despicable… [He] was no hero… Cheering for the murder of an unarmed man beyond sick.”

While the Hannity clip played, the scene at the Turning Point event was jubilant as the crowd cheered for Rittenhouse’s arrival.

“For anyone that sympathizes and empathizes with a murderer,” Fox News contributor Nicole Parker said, “that is completely upside-down in our American society. There are people that need to re-evaluate their inner soul and their moral compass. There is nothing acceptable to me about that.”

Then, one of Kirk’s colleagues began chanting, “Kyle, Kyle, Kyle,” on the Turning Point stage.

“To sympathize with them,” Parker continued, “is just disgusting.”
