You say "even" as if two powerful leaders that helped catalyze enormous changes in society resulting in a fundamental shift in who has power and autonomy would somehow be less likely to have ruthless enemies. Those are the folks who if anything are more at risk of being killed by powerful enemies than a druglord since MLK, Gandhi, Lincoln etc had enemies motivated by pure ideology (white supremacy, hindu supremacy, white supremacy) while drug lords'enemies are motivated by money. I'd be a lot more worried about the former.
- jbay808 6y agoRight, what I meant is that it's easy for someone to dismiss a drug lord being assassinated as "just deserves" or "live by the sword die by the sword" or "tut tut, that's why you shouldn't be a drug lord". I just mean to show that even upstanding citizens and role models and inspirational figures could have enemies ruthless enough to drag them into an unmarked van. "That's why you shouldn't become an upstanding moral figure" is what they'll say.
