    I am curious if the people bemoaning the loss of a building would bemoan the loss of a billionaire in the same way. Like if they had instead literally set a billionaire on fire in the streets instead of a public building, would there be more or less support for the action?

    I’m genuinely curious.

      At least here in the US they would cheer for it. Of that I have no doubt.

      When the UHC CEO was gunned down in New York, the general consensus among the public was that he deserved it.
