"Well, he was obviously an undesirable in our egalitarian utopia, anyway."
"Let him go, then."
"Never! He must be SHOT!"

That's the kind of classic willful huge blind spot in their half-baked regurgitations. Any "undesirables" in a society where all are supposed to be equal. And that is no "capitalist billionaire pig" tragically attempting to flee in that photo. You need some huge, grotesque mental gymnastics to disregard and dismiss images such as this one.
