Historically when 'tyrants' were killed they were usually inside jobs or by large scale political rivals.
The killing of evil powerful people by the common rabble like you and me is such a rare celestial event that the fact that we witnessed one in our lifetimes is a miracle.
If by "inside job" you mean "killed by people they hung around every day, some of whom were just slaves", then yeah.
That's just plain incorrect.

Read it through. A significant portion were killed by their "employees" and the people in general. Servants, captains, hell, there's even one monarch killed by two shepherds.
Ofc kings wouldn't walk about town like the healthcare CEO did, but the reason the royalty didn't do that, is because unlike the CEO, the monarchs knew they'd be killed. That is unless you're with a retinuen armored men and safe in a carriage. And only eat the leftovers from your tasters, because you're afraid of literally every meal being poisoned by a disgruntled subject.
The new "kings" as in the capitalists, they don't properly have this fear yet. Whoever Luigi is protecting (because there's no evidence he did it) just reminded the "nobility" of how things used to be.
Hell, one of the first murderers in that list is a person who's a prophet in Judaism, Christianity and Islam; Samuel.
Also, have you forgotten what the people did in France a few hundred years ago?
Basically our whole system is based on the people having taken power with a violent uprising against the evil douches.
The killing of evil powerful people by the common rabble is incredibly common throughout history.
Stop spreading apathy.
