Charles Koch And Rupert Murdoch Should Be Arrested

Tried.

And sent to the gas chamber.

For murder.

Their disinformation networks and incomprehensible lust for wealth has destroyed our democracy, and directly killed thousands / millions of Americans.

These two make Benedict Arnold look like a hero.

They can"t be allowed to continue their attacks on our families or planet.

From deadly propaganda to organized school board threat makers. These two are responsible more than anyone for the mess. You can throw in the Mercers too if you want.

It has to stop.

It just has to stop.

The fact that 84% of Republican Lemmings think Orange Asshole won the election isn't all because of Orange Asshole.

And help enrich the powerful.

Unlimited bribery is allowed.

Look at how many movers and shakers were arrested after the 2008 meltdown.

We will never have accountability when Koch and Murdoch run free to do their daily damage.

Start somewhere.

For what would they be arrested? And who would be in charge of their prosecution.

The poster you replied to is exactly right - not obtuse at all.

Don't get why straight up advocating for murderous authoritarianism is an acceptable thing to post here.

But maybe not do it?

“Disinformation” is not a statutory violation. “Murder”? Who would indict them on such a charge? What jury would convict them of murder?

Or were you just speaking euphemistically when you said “tried”?

There is far more evidence of Facebook aiding actual genocide.

Death is too easy for these bastards. Make them suffer the same way they have caused millions of others to suffer.

Seize their fortunes to redistribute to the poor, and then force them to live out of cardboard boxes under an Interstate overpass for the rest of their days.

Companies for not bargaining with it's workers causing strikes during the war. These guys are starting wars within, they should be called out, arrested, and their companies, organizations, and think tanks taken by the government, like they did then.

Their behavior is aiding and abetting a seditious coup to take over our Country that ended in an insurrection on 1/6, and is now working on it's next attack.

No. How about charging them with actual crimes that could be supported with real evidence in a court of law, and then, if convicted, sentencing them to an appropriate time in prison?

The whole idea of a "gas chamber" smacks of something unsupportable, I think. Maybe you can think of what that is...

Personally, I think you should rethink and self-delete your post.

Our justice system doesn't have consequences for super rich people. (other than asking them to pay a little money a decade or so after a crime is committed.)
