Wow, I really hope this isn’t the moment it starts and a bunch of copy cats spring up targeting all the parasites. That would be terrible.
Bombs being thrown into boardrooms is certainly something nobody wants.
Well no, it’s a nice table.
Bad example. That is a CEO killing his board of directors.
The fact that the man got away (and had a silencer) goes to show that it’s more rich targeting the rich. Likely not a peasant. The billion-dollar question is: Why?
Suppressors, like anything else gun related, aren’t that hard to come by. You can even make your own pretty easily. They won’t hold up over 1000 rounds at the range but they would be more than sufficient for something like this.
You’re right that we don’t know why this happened. I’m just saying I don’t find the possibility that a suppressor was involved to be particularly indicative of anything other than the fact that the shooter wanted to be harder to catch, which yeah, you would expect to be the case.
Yep. A few hundred bucks for an inexpensive one, and a pretty good one costs in the neighborhood of a mid tier PC gaming rig. Theoretically you have to pay a tax and do some paperwork to get one, but you’ve already mentioned how easy they are to make.
Maybe a bunch of folks decided they’d rather hire a hitman than pay their deductibles.

The robot dogs are just pompous posturing by rich idiots, they don’t do anything that a cheapo CCTV camera couldn’t do.
I rarely enjoy Youtube comments. today they’re quite good though
It would be the funniest thing if a bunch of terminal patients submitted confessions just to tie up resources. A real “I’m Spartacus” situation.

It’ll be neither. Now that the upper class is affected, they’ll be lobbying hard for strict gun control. But hey, archery still exists…
they’ll be lobbying hard for strict gun control.
This is America. No they won’t.
Turnip banned guns at his rallies and his boot lickers didn’t care much at all.
If this starts becoming a thing where rich fucks face mob or lone gunman attacks, you can guarantee they will make laws banning guns in “freedom zones”.
This is America theyll lobby it for everyone but themselves
They already have it in States like Washington.
CEO’s will buy upper body armor and write it off as a business expense.
The killstick that got shinzo woulda worked with or without armor.
Normalize Splatoon guns

I’m surprised Trump’s repeat assassination attempts didn’t trigger something. Although it would be funny if the Republicans were the party to introduce gun control laws, perhaps the irony is just too much for them.
And it’s way easier to get a compound bow than a gun, and not that much harder to learn.
A good deal harder to conceal though
Is that a compound bow in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
Harder to hide a compound bow on a subway though.
The guillotine “jokes” aren’t really jokes.
Brian Thompson’s case shows systemic vs direct violence: one hidden as “civilized,” the other viewed as evil.
Technology and bureaucracy weaponized for murder and suffering on a massive scale, yet his killer is condemned for directly responding with the same violence Thompson’s actions produced. I only feel sorry for the people who are suffering or have passed away due to the healthcare industry.
My condolences to his family, even though no insurance company ever gave my family condolences when they let my mom die
fuck it we ball
Oh no! That’s terrible! I hope musk isn’t the next one. lol.
Stop letting that man live rent free in your head.
He’s also living rent free on our planet.
No, this belongs more to a collapse or civil war thread than it does here.
This is not an endorsement, this is observation of basic, predictable human behavior. The working class is squeezed financially to the nth degree. There IS a breaking point. That sense of impending “something” many people have been feeling since well before the election has not gone away, and the squeeze is a source.
And here it is. What is probably the first shot fired on someone in charge of that ongoing financial hardship, that squeeze.
The scariest thing here is that there’s social contagion to these behaviors, especially those squeezed hard enough they feel they’ve little to nothing left to lose.
This is a domino.
Yo historian, it’s a dickhead CEO not Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand
Yo historian, it’s a dickhead Archduke not The Holy Roman Emperor
Considering the Archduke was the heir of the austro-hungarian throne and the HRE having been defunct for over 100 years, this is basically on the level of someone assassinating the VP
Lol I wasn’t trying to elevate him but say that he was no more than an oligarch (CEO) today. Didn’t realize he was the heir to the successor state, just being silly… Guess I was wrong!
People should quit while ahead and stop looking up to wealth and titles if they don’t want to run into a Gavrilo Princip
The scariest thing here is that there’s social contagion to these behaviors, especially those squeezed hard enough they feel they’ve little to nothing left to lose.
This is a domino.
Here’s hoping. We’re WAY overdue for guillotine day.
Yea the tariffs will probably be seen as some sort of breaking point together with this some years from now.

It’s a Hydra. Cut off one head, there’s 5 waiting to take this guy’s place.
Eh, hydras aren’t made up of individuals who have a desire to be alive.
Not that I’m advocating for it, but I imagine if you kept killing folks then you’d eventually get to someone who liked “breathing” more than “money.”
Yea but this is a one off thing, nobody is going to keep shooting people like him because otherwise it would have already happened many times.
This murder was probably another asshole, he knew, putting a hit on him
I suspect it’ll be something he was doing in his personal life that got him killed.
And make it funny okay?
A huh OK boss!..runs away, gets on a city bike and disappears into the sunset.
Needed a single clown horn honk after the guy got popped.
BANG!. honk-ie. *strolls off into sunset.
I would believe that in those spheres of power they would have booked a hitman with better hardware and training. His pistol could not properly cycle and he took quite long between shots. Also he had the possibility to move up to the guy and shoot him in the back of the head to save some time but preferred to shot multiple into his back from further away. For me it seems more likely it was an act of Vigilantism.
It happened in France for example. Now it would not be public killings by guillotine of course but multiple independent attacks by ied/gun/fpv against guys like that ceo are surely thinkable.
You cut off a few more heads, and they’ll start to be a little more cautious with their shitty actions.
Wishful thinking. They will double down on their shitty actions while surrounded by more security than a monarch.
There is a limit to how much that kind of security can help.
I guess the logical progression is to go after the most accessible level…meaning eventually the office workers would probably be a target, which isn’t great.
That, or people go after, like, their extended families instead…which isn’t exactly great either…
Maybe flooding a country with firearms and putting them into its constitution isn’t such a good idea
Well that just sounds like a direct wealth distribution method.
“Cut off one head, two more shall take it’s place.”
It’s such a weird place to be.
We are all trying to be respectful. A person has died, and that is a horrible thing. But this guy runs a company that has cause so much suffering to so many people. He may not be directly responsible for pain, suffering, and likely death, but if he had run his company more fairly, none of that would have happened.
When people made jokes about trump nearly getting killed, people kicked off and said it was abhorant to wish death upon him (despite him being a foul human being)
But I really want to just say this guy deserves it and tell people to fuck off trying to make me be respectful of this terrible person.
Somebody validate my anger.
Somebody just tell me i can hate this individual and not be bothered that he died.
Somebody validate my anger.
I work at a children’s hospital, a couple times a week United Healthcare denies treatment that could allow some of my pediatric patients with severe mobility issues to do things like run, or play outside with their friends. All because having a somewhat normal life isn’t medically necessary, or isn’t a covered benefit, or were not a preferred provider…and the nearest in network provider is 6 hours away.
Every time I have to explain to a parent that Medicaid would have paid for this, but mom and dad worked a little too hard and so they don’t qualify for state care… I die a little on the inside.
So I for one don’t really care about being respectful, and can reassure you that you shouldn’t feel the need to either. People who show no humanity towards disabled children are not human in my book.
Today has been cathartic and I’m going to have a little pep in my step on my walk home.
I have as much sympathy for him as his company has shown me
I already have been called evil for simply not having any empathy toward this man. Apparently there are some that believe even the worst people deserve empathy despite being shown time and time again they don’t care about the sick and dying over making a profit. I never advocated for violence or murder, I never cheered or claimed more should die. But I’m the evil one for not caring about this guy somehow. I honestly don’t know if humanity has a chance with all of this corporate dick sucking.
It is because they are insulated from the damage these people leave in the wake of “doing their jobs”. If I or you sent their family into financial ruin by extorting their health/existence they’d be whistling a different tune.
my only concern is that this will embolden trumpers attacking libs.
Neat
Perhaps the 9mm pistol is the guillotine of the next American revolution.
TBH I always wondered why people were shooting up malls and schools instead of the people who actually cause the societal conditions they’re upset with
Edit: to be clear I’m not promoting this, it just never made sense to me
Billionnaires control the medias and social medias. They are purposely creating divides between the population to avoid being the target.
The people who deserve it are harder to find and rarely in the same place at once.
CEO’s? Likely at home, shareholder meetings, board meetings, on their boat, private jets (which can be tracked), at their office, speaking at corporate events (annual sales kickoffs, etc.). It would take some work, but not that hard.
Because that gets more attention and takes less effort.

Reddit Admins are watching their site burn because basically everybody is supporting and condoning the killer, and they don’t like that. Its quite funny.
Mods going nuts banning people and coming back tomorrow to a completely empty subreddit.
