Look, I agree that the guy is a terrible, terrible person, but is advocating violence really the right route here? I saw, what, three or four comments on the first page alone hoping he gets abused in prison, and as much as this guy sucks... Two wrongs don't make a right, right?

No advocating violence is never a good idea. But sometimes people just need to get some anger out.

So says you.
But you have no idea how fun life is once you reach the top 10% let alone the top 1%.


Someone in the top 10% posting on NSG.

Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.

Doing something constructive is not going to get you in the top 10% you should focus on situations where you can hold up economic activity unless you get paid.

It only takes 100,000 a year to be in the top 10% that should not be that hard to get.

not queueing to crucify this guy. he is a product of a system that would let him do such things legally and praise it as good ole capitalism had it not been medication. time to change the laws on price gouging which is what he should have already been in jail for.

As easy as it was for me I assume it is because the other 90% are lazy.

Seriously my first job out of law school put me in the top 10%.

Excessive bail is unconstitutional, but then, with the resources this smug son of a bitch likely has at his disposal, it's likely that his bail will be crazy high by most people's standards.

Good for you, most of us in the 90% are not lazy. Some of us have to deal with abuse, medical problems, mental illness, getting kicked out because of your sexuality and other things that we have no control over.

Your assumption, assuming that it isn't simply another baity comment on your part designed to get a rise out of others, is inaccurate and insulting.
