Your comment seems to suggest that you're viewing this event from outside the US. If so, perhaps you're unaware of the dangerous and recent rise in violent political rhetoric here. Garry Tan is a prominent and powerful person in the tech industry, and his words carry weight. When he rips violent lyrics out of a hip-hop song and refashions them into a political rant, he's pouring more fuel on a fire that's starting to burn out of control.

Garry Tan should know better. As an earlier article mentioned [1], he was previously quoted as saying "this kind of stuff should have zero place in San Francisco politics," referring to an activist's taunt that millionaires and landlords should be guillotined.

Well if you attack his friends, it's not okay, but if you go which death upon 'the leftists' he wouldn't say a thing, I bet

As the article says, a single leftist saying "millionaires should be guillotined" should be taken very seriously.

But him saying <specific, named people> should "die slow" shuold be taken as just a joke, bro.

Hmmm.
