“I did not want to kill any employee. If I had wanted to kill them, I would have shot them—not at the floor. That is precisely why I was firing at the floor and not at them.

When Desperation Meets Abuse of Power.
In a society where Justice is meant to serve as a refuge rather than an instrument of destruction, such cases expose the limits and pathologies of the system.

So despicable!
