      Tweet: I don't get why people enjoy the suffering of people they don't know. Reply: If a man gets shot, it's sad. If a man gets shot by an orangutan after giving said orangutan a gun despite many people warning him that giving an orangutan a gun was a bad idea, AND he very smugly said that giving the orangutan a gun was actually a genius move, it's funny.

      The issue at stake here is that the people in a position to trick and scam everybody were clearly labeled as tricksters and scammers BEFORE those people put them into the position of power to do their tricking and scamming on a large scale. Then after that they dove headfirst into the tricks and the scams going “I’m owning the libs!” while their money was completely stolen from them in a tricky scam.

      So, I would say that yes, to many people, suggesting that these fools didn’t deserve this completely is a controversial take.
