I may have not formulated that as subtle as I meant, since English is not my primary language. So my apologies for that. I do not wish him dead. I mean that I'll fight for him in this case since it's important for society, but since he's such an awful person I would lose all interest in him after he's out of court.
Read it as a figure of speech, since we technology people always speak about people who might get hit by a bus when thinking about the future of products.
To be fair, there is an important difference between wishing someone got hit by a bus and simply not caring if they did get hit by a bus. I, for one, would not want him dead, as death is rather an overly severe punishment for his actual crimes. I would probably even think it somewhat unfortunate if he actually did get hit by a bus, simply because humans dying in general is unfortunate. But, were it to happen, an honest evaluation of my feelings leads me to predict that I would not weep.
We could also wish that Weev or people like him did not exist, without actually wishing that anyone now alive become dead, or predicting what our feelings might be were such a thing to happen.
