Putin is a War Criminal
I was raised in a very affluent community, so it was perfectly normal for everybody growing up to expect that they were going to be wealthy when they became adults. Many of those I grew up with are still there and they have a very entitled attitude being mostly white and wealthy and for some, leaning in to family wealth. Those were not my circumstances and I no longer live there because I would never be able to afford it, but also because they represent something that I do not. Even if I could afford to, I probably would not live there. Probably.
What I don't understand is why people who did not grow up under those circumstances believe that their future is likely a wealthy one, when they need only to look at the world around them to realize that the odds are against that being the case. I get wishful thinking, and I get the influence of television shows like Downton Abbey and Dallas and any number of other wealthy community stories, but how naive do we have to be to truly believe that our chances of beating the odds are that much greater than so many others? Enough so that we treat the world as if we had already gotten there and don't consider the plight of those who won't, even when they are the vast vast majority. The 99%.
It boggles the mind.

Yeah, people in prison really love CEO's and health insurance companies. They're gonna dish out their own justice like he's a child predator.

I don't know how much you've studied the social structure inside of prison, but if he's in the general population, the only thing that's likely to save him is his family's money and their ability to buy their own security from among the prison population. I doubt his having killed a CEO is going to help that much. A pretty boy like him is likely to have an asshole the size of your thigh before too long...

Well, not just any CEO. The CEO of "Murdering Americans for Profit Incorporated". A guy who's killed more Americans than Bin Laden. Not like people were born in prison. Given that we generally lock up poor people, many prisoners have either been fucked over by our health insurance system or had family members fucked over by them.
In any case, no need to fantasize about him being violently raped. The Feds want to execute him because he killed one CEO. He'd only get life in prison if he killed a dozen school children.
Also... allegedly killed one scumbag CEO. The prosecution still needs to prove that in court.
