You know, this is the part that really drives me nuts about this whole thing. A murderer murdered a murderer.
Murderer A, he's taken care of. The judicial system will put him in front of a jury, he will be tried. He will be found innocent or guilty. The system handles murderer A.
Murderer B on the other hand, just screw the laws of humans for a moment, the laws of physics say that he shouldn't be murdering any more after death, but nope. People are still dying. You would think this is where the system would kick in and start putting a stop to it but nope, corporation is still killing. Hell the meeting murderer B was headed to didn't even get delayed.
There's no law of physics that says people will stop dying just because the person who caused them to die was killed. Thomas Midgely Jr. died in 1944, he's still killing people. The wheels he put in motion still haven't come to a stop.
(he invented Tetra-ethyl lead and CFCs, he's at least slightly damaged every living thing on the planet for a century)
I feel like his death was some kind of cosmic justice.
I don’t believe in any kind of higher power, but he was crippled by his inventions, which caused him to design an elaborate cable system so he could zip line around his house instead of using a wheel chair.
He got his neck caught in his zipline contraption and strangled himself getting out of bed.
Not exactly justice for the billions of lines he’s negatively affected, but it is kind of funny that he kept inventing stuff that killed people, and he was in turn killed by his last invention.
There's this hilarious line in his Wikpedia entry:
