I propose a new law. If the victim of a murder is someone who owns a fortune more than 1000x the median household income, then someone on trial for the murder can make an affirmative defense that it was ok, simply because, "he needed killin.'"
Literally, if you can convince the jury that the guy had it coming, you get off Scott free. Anyone who wants to avoid potentially being killed and having their killer escape unpunished can avoid this fate by simply not hoarding wealth over the critical threshold. Those who hoard such fortunes will just have to live with enough kindness that no one could ever convince a jury that they deserved to die. We'll end up with no billionaires or every billionaire becoming like Fred Rogers. I'll take either outcome.
I know lemmy can lean weird left sometimes where it's quite alright to kill someone but other physical violence, like beating somebody up, is taboo, but . . .
My dad always told me that sometimes a man just needs a tune-up. Sometimes its you, sometimes its the other guy. Maybe its both of you. When I was younger I handed out a few and received one good one of my own. I think all were probably necessary and healthy, and I am a firm believer that sometimes someone is just in need of a good ass beating to help correct their perspective.
Such a course correction, if applied earlier to this guy, might have saved his life.
I'm really starting to feel like my youngest kid is like this. But obviously I can't tune him up myself, he's only 6.
Can I hire some other first-grader to beat him up?
He's a pretty solid kid...could I get a fourth-grader?
I joke...I love him but man sometimes it feels like no punishment works with him. I know that it's really just his ADHD and him being exactly like I was as a kid...except my hyperactivity was internalized while his is externalized. Adderall helps. Both of us. Maybe I gotta see about upping his dose.
I want you to know, as a parent I understand. I love my 3 year old but he is nonstop trying to get a rise out of us.
Oh yeah that's about the age it started in earnest with our kid. He's like a professional troll.
Buckle up. I tried to get his older brother to hit him (back...when he hit first), but he was too much of a softie.
