Kill people with paperwork. Most effective serial murder in the world. We know their motives, MO, and exactly where they live, but nobody will prosecute them. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 19 points 1 year ago (2 children) I'm told the best way to kill someone and get away with it is to hit them with your car. Not, like, drive into a crowd of people, but like nail them when they're crossing the street or walking near the side of the road. Especially if they're walking or on a bike. You can just say you didn't see them or whatever, and our car-focused culture will be like "yeah ok that happens." So hypothetically if any healthcare CEOs are out jogging in their suburbs, someone could run them over and maybe not even be charged with a crime. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 year ago* Nah, because it's a CEO the person who does it would definitely get charges, and they would likely push for the death penalty, even for a traffic accident. CEOs are not on the same level as the rest of us. permalink fedilink source parent [–] frezik@midwest.social 13 points 1 year ago (1 child) Might be right, but remember that the families of healthcare CEOs can find a good lawyer to sue your ass for wrongful death. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 9 points 1 year ago* (1 child) Probably better than getting the death penalty for allegedly shooting the CEO dead, but yeah there's no risk-free way of getting rid of the the worst sorts of people. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] thepenismightier@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (1 child) There's no risk free way of letting them live. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] CoolThingAboutMe@aussie.zone 1 point 1 year ago* Oof.
