      I doubt you have a statistic to back that up.

      Regardless, this person didn’t kill them for the greater good, or to make a political and social statement. They killed them out of anger, and it did nothing for the greater good. This guy is not Luigi. He’s just a killer.

        Not the OP, but this fact is widely attested. The statistic is right on the Wikipedia page for wage theft. In 2012, the FBI estimated it to be more than $19 billion in total. The next-highest category of property crime was larceny, at $4.3 billion.

          Fair enough. Still, the “CEO” of a small trucking company shouldn’t be killed for wage theft. Cut his hand off.
