You or I don't have the right to kill a man like so without facing punishment from the government and society. At a minimum, you get to spend the rest of your life in fear of getting caught, but while I have every right to try to stop you, whining about it if you happen to get away is just that, whining.

I'm not going to waste that effort lamenting the death of someone whose life actively made the lives of so many so much worse, and no one has the right to make me.

End of the day, we don't know who killed him or why just yet, but I doubt it was about his words alone, and odds are way too good that Donny just needed a distraction and an excuse.
