Ivan, requiring oneself to gather evidence isn't convenient at all. It's just more accurate and discriminating. Obviously you disagree since though you don't know me at all you pigeonhole me into your predetermined conclusion of what ALL Westerners must be like.
In no way did I defend Mr Zuckerberg nor condemn Ilya. I just refuse to draw a conclusion, especially about something as serious as murder, based on such flimsy evidence. I pointed out that you would be outraged if someone accused and judged you in such a manner, and not just in a matter of opinion but with serious consequences.
That Zuckerberg is a "successful western entrepreneur" has almost nothing to do with my judgment of him. He gets no privilege from me. In fact their is some small degree of suspicion exactly because he is so successful in that it makes him powerful and we all know power tends to corrupt. I actually wish I didn't have such suspicions but too often there is at least something real in it, so I can't ignore the instinct. However, suspicion is hardly the same as conclusion. There is a difference.
Again I am sorry for your loss. I hope the two of you were not close.
