I want Facebook gone, it causes more harm than good but their employees shouldn't be harassed or assaulted because of it.
And there are more companies like this. Do we assault anyone working for companies that pollute? What about people working in banks that made possible the 2008 crash? And I could go on and on.
If anyone is doing anything illegal, they should be brought to justice. Violence will bring only more violence and won't solve the problem.

- Nextgrid 6y agoI agree with you and I'm not defending the practice, I'm simply sharing the reasoning behind this threat of violence. > If anyone is doing anything illegal, they should be brought to justice. Besides mental issues, people rarely resort to violence; not only is it risky in terms of legal/physical consequences but it's also more effort; why would anyone go out and beat up someone if they can achieve the desired effect without that? Given that there are people that are threatening Facebook employees with violence, it seems that "conventional" justice doesn't seem to have any effect (or corruption... I mean lobbying is perverting the course of justice) and people are threatening to take the matter in their own hands in an act of desperation.
