It's a bit exhausting that every time anyone says anything about executives in any context, we have to make sure to bring up the cold-blooded murder of one of them and make sure to remind everyone that some people on the internet think that that murder was justified. It's free internet points, I guess, but it's also not constructive and frankly more than a little bit creepy.
What makes you think it's not constructive?!
I think it's worth discussing why a large number (possibly even a majority!) of people want to murder executives. Telling those people to shut up removes yet another way for them to express their opinions. I think taking notice of the room is very constructive. I think having a point to discuss (even if it's violence) is constructive. Talk is cheap, after all; and talk is way cheaper than murder.
Moreover, I've heard many many many people insist that violence is never the answer. Alas, they forget that violence is how most countries were founded; ignore that many laws and regulations are written in blood; and rarely consider the situations where all other solutions have been explored and exhausted. Further, if business is so worried about costs, and violence can be cheaper than exploring all alternative options, then there's definitely a business mindset to that. And business is what you want to discuss anyway, right?
If you really think violence is never the answer then you should do everything in your power to prevent it. So instead of insulting someone for expressing an opinion, perhaps you should talk to them instead. You might discover a new/unique point of view, or you might even be able to change their mind.
