If you haven’t read much on it and admit as such, maybe you shouldn’t then

jump to rash conclusions and accuse everyone of being as bad as looters. There’s plenty of info about the dirty practices of Melvin shorting the stock and intentionally driving the price down with the intent of basically bankrupting GME. Read up on it and see if you still feel the same.

Vigilante justice is illegal. Buying a stock is legal.

Just because it’s (currently) legal doesn’t mean it’s right.
