Is it wrong to want to buy a beer for the guy who punched him?
I say, open season on lying, stealing scumbags.
SMACK
Societal scorn, and yes, danger to their safety is what will slow these scumbags down.
In the past, we have been quick to admire those that get rich by any means, (1980s thought).
Quite right, but since they are all rats, it will never happen.
And then line up a bunch of Congressman.
When the Enron debacle was winding down I ended up standing right behind Jeff Skilling at the soda machine in Prince’s Hamburgers in Houston. At this point we all knew what scum he was. As I stood there patiently waiting for him to refill his soda I thought how easy it would be to avenge all the people that lost their life savings by clocking the guy. Not wanting to go to jail I just gave him a look instead. He’s a very tiny guy by the way and easily clockable.
That IS pretty cool! Maybe there are some ‘real men’ left in this world after all!
Somebody get that guy who punched this Lehman weasel a beer!!
(Free Republic men,of course, are in the ‘real men’ column too)
“former Lehman CEO Richard Fuld was testifying before the House Oversight Committee Oct. 6, CNBC reported he had been punched in the face at the Lehman Brothers gym after it was announced the firm was going bankrupt.”
Takes a lot of balls to go to workout in the company gym of the company you ran into the ground and LEFT.
I saw the protestors gathered outside of Ken Lay’s place.
Remember when the city machine LIKED Ken Lay (he helped secure the slim margin of victory on the stadium initiative)?
Well, Fuld is worth millions upon millions of $$$’s. His retirement “parachute” alone was $22 million. The guy who punched him? If he has any assets he’s about to lose them to his attorney and to Fuld....
Nice in theory. In reality, cold-cocking a guy worth $200+ million isn’t a wise investment of your time....
Real men would have strung him up on a lamp post on Wall Street.
I can’t say that we’ve admired people who “got rich” especially “by any means”.
I don’t swallow Oliver Stoned’s myth about “Greed is good” and the 1980s being the decade of greed. It was in the 1990s that people said “we cannot impeach Bill Clinton, because it would not be good for the market”. This in 1998, and the internet bubble burst ANYWAY.
Wrong..... there are millions of Americans that will gladly donate to his defense fund..... and there isn't a jury in this country that would find him guilty.....
Is he the one who got the $20 bil payout for just being 17 days on the job?
Hell, if I were a jurist I’d ask for a demonstration!
