And typically, Boomers love lethal vigilante violence against minorities

Neely was an active threat to the other passengers, including many ethnic minorities. Daniel Penny is a hero but because of your Woke worldview everything is filtered through your "oppressor/oppressed" framework. People are treated not as individuals with equal intrinsic moral worth but as members of various identity groups whose worth depends on where they fall on the Woke hierarchy.

Your worldview really is despicable and antithetical to liberalism.

Woke is something Fox made up to scare you. Grow up dude.

All I did was point out that vigilante justice is something that boomers love and this dope writes a buzzword opinion piece for Breitbart

What's your point though? Everyone loves vigilante justice.

Just look at all the praise the guy who murdered the Health Insurance CEO is getting. Those are young people praising him, not the elderly.

Many young people don't praise him actually. It's mainly gen x and millennials who do. We both don't condone but don't condemn what Neely did either. However, social media makes it look differently but only maybe 50% of us support Mangione.

My point is thematically for this Reddit, BLM crackpots crying over this case is not representative of boomers

Daniel Penny wasn't trying to kill Jordan Neely. This wasn't a vigilante trying to kill or punish someone for their crimes (real or imagined), it was a Good Samaritan and a few helpers working together to neutralize a very real threat until the police could take over. My point is that the creeps here are upset that Penny wasn't convicted not because Penny is guilty (he is innocent of any and all crimes and should be commended for his actions) but because of where he and the guy who died fall on the "Woke" hierarchy.

Things will not get better if people like you refuse to understand what's going on.
