Obviously it's wrong to murder a human being, though it's hard to not sympathize with the miners.

I succeeded. Obviously a minimum wage is a key part of the sort of thing governments should do, and it should be enforced, but the very idea of strikers killing businessmen leaves a horrible taste in my mouth. Thankfully in the country where I live this sort of thing doesn't happen.

You really are completely and across the board in favor of established interests and power, aren't you?

Being opposed to the murder in cold blood of businessmen isn't to do with being in favour of established interests and power.

I'm opposed to it because it's people killing people. Vosem seems to care an inordinate amount about the positions of the people in question.

Who an angry mob kills is very significant when it comes to understanding the situation and what happens next, Nathan.

We have a mine where the managers have a history of shooting their employees (and getting away with it), and we should somehow feel bad for the managers when their work force rise up in protest over the mine breaking the contract with the emploees and kill one of them semi-accidental (if they were serious the other manager hadn't survived). I don't care for mob rule, but the workers wasn't left with any alternatives here.
