      Yeah “that might”. I would gladly put $ on let’s say, no more than 3 CEOs getting shot before the end of 2025 and even that seems conservative. I give an allowance of 3 because people DO get shot every day so it could be CEOs by happenstance. This is not the start of a revolution, any more than the Unabomber or Timothy McVeigh was. An isolated incident. The news cycle is already wrapping up now that the shooter is in custody. Soon, he’ll be out of the headlines until the trial, which’ll be much later. The 15 minutes of fame is almost up.

        I agree, just hoping that the 15 minutes of fame this one got drives more people to stochastic terror against there bourgeoise than other proles and specifically children.

        If we’re gonna have an epidemic of domestic violence, is better that this sort is rewarded I guess

          I don’t believe we will. American history is devoid of a period where the average citizen grabbed a bunch of guns and started shooting at the upper class. I have no reason to believe this will change today.

            But we are currently experiencing an epidemic of violence, just mass shootings targeting proles and children.

            I’m saying of that is going to continue with no effort by the power to stop it, it might as well start targeting power and we should encourage ot targeting power.

              Available data contradicts your claim: violent crime rates in the USA have decreased since the 1990s. You may HEAR about them more, but statistically you are safer now than you were 30 years ago in the USA. I think there’s more mass media and TikTok, so the news spreads further, but we are NOT in the middle of an epidemic, unless you consider it a 30 year one that started prior to 1990.
