    A CEO is a position, not a person. Killing him isn’t any sort of defense when he isn’t actively endangering others.

    It’s murder, even if it’s justified. Stop these idiotic word games. They only weaken your position.

      He is mass murderer. Would you clutch pearls if someone assassinated a warlord?

        He (the warlord) would still be murdered. Just with a justification - So it is really only a word game

        Self defense only applies when you literally defend yourself from an attack in that moment. If you get away from a warlord with your life and kill him a day later thats again murder.

        Pointing out your wanton violation of language isn’t pearl clutching.

        If your use of the word warlord is equivocated to all hell like your other vocab choices our warlord might be a janitor or some shit, so it’s hard to say.

        Edit: also, merry christmas. I hope the holiday season has been well :)
