Edit: That's what I get for not reading carefully enough! Maharaj is the protestor, not the owner, and as such my comment below is inaccurate and erroneous. Thanks to mortoc for pointing this out to me. Off to get a coffee and focus... >“You can’t thwart a billionaire,” Maharaj said in an interview after a stroll along the deserted sandy coastline on Jan. 15, a day when the gate leading to the beach was locked. One day you'll get what's coming to you if you keep up that attitude, plutocrat. Noblesse oblige is the only thing that spared Andrew Carnegie and is sparing Bill Gates the universal, effortless scorn and ridicule they would otherwise deserve. You'd do well to remember that.

Scorn and ridicule? Try simply being killed. Nobody's bulletproof. I'm not advocating murder; it's just what can eventually happen.

  Not sure why this is being downvoted. It's a simple reality that at a certain point of inequality and general unfairness, the main thing that the elite need to fear for is their own safety. Look at Brazil. The wealthy have bullet-proofed their Mercedes cars.

"Maharaj" is a protester, the billionaire is "Khosla". I think you got them mixed up here. Khosla is still a dick though, so the rest of your point is valid.

  Not sure why you're being downvoted. You're absolutely correct that OP misinterpreted that.
