Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.
I'm sure you'd have preferred France to remain a monarchy because of moral absolutism?
you are painting an oversimplified picture.
"i am sure you'd have preferred Gandhi to pick up a gun because he was met with violence?" we can chase eachother with such oversimplifications forever.
reality is much more complicated than such simple statements. so lets not use their inflammatory nature and focus on the actual problem. which, in that case seems, that people feel disbanded by sociaty to such a degree.
The point is that the CEO wasn't in jail for murder, was he?
What other options his victims had?
the ceo is just the effect, not the cause. the us laws allow such bullshit and do not protect the weak (at all). what this one ceo did was, like what many other ceo's do, immoral but legal. you cant jail someone for legal stuff.
change the system and force them to adhere to modern moral standards. if they try to pull some bs now, it is quite easy to lock them away.
In many such cases the lobbying group actually writes the law, the congressperson just signs it.
What the OP said means literally that if mass murdering people is legal, people will inevitably murder whoever makes the law and helps on that mass murdering. (What is not a universal law, but as sociology predictions go, is quite reliable.)
It's not a hard concept to understand. Also, it has a very distant relation to morality or legality.
