it's weird because social media generally bans condoning or advocating for violence, so a ton of people on both sides, finding out how fucking horrible this guy was, are cheering on the assassin... up to the line of what'd get you banned.
meanwhile, look up the japanese market crash in the 80s/90s. when that shit hit, they too had perps like we did in the US responsible for the 2009 crash. and when government didn't do shit about it, yakuza assassinated many and left calling cards to make sure everyone knew who it was. yakuza is a cartel, sure, but their approval rating is tracked like a semi-governmental enforcement entity, and at the time, their approval rating was something like 80%+.
to this day, yakuza regularly carries a 30%+ approval rating, which ironically is many times higher than US congress. they still do some illegal shit, but have largely switched a lot of ops to uber-izing prostitution. women are selling sexual access at these yakuza owned "love hotels", even though it's technically illegal. yakuza ops will handle security and payment, and women are free to come and go as they please. some guys even got into this "host debt" scam that tries to act like the new pimphood, and yakuza will beat the shit out of the host guys, or even just black bag them. that host shit is not only competition, it's bad for business.
government is supposed to operate as the limited monopoly on violence, doled out in compliance with due process. when people see justice get bad enough, they will take care of it themselves.
