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.
Corpos gonna corp
We’re just training their AI model
Shame that only damage from the first bullet was covered. Every shot after that was a pre-existing condition. Maybe he would have made it.
Maybe we could have patched him back together, but all the nearby hospitals were out of network.

I’M SPARTACUS!
I read that in carol channing’s voice…
I AM SPARTACUS
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.
With all the suicides caused by extreme wealth inequality it’s a good thing that suicidal people don’t kill a CEO before killing themselves. That would be tragic.
In the dark moments I’m sometimes comforted by the thoughts of who I could take with me to hell.
I suspect that some people might think of it as a lost opportunity.
Infinite target selection…
Shooter got away. Who knows, maybe they’re not after just one
Couldn’t ask for a better friend than this guy
Unsung hero
Your comment to gods ears
They got away so far. There may be a time limit on that.
But with that said, there is still a chance that even if caught the jury does a little jury nullification.
Bombs being thrown into boardrooms is certainly something nobody wants.
Well no, it’s a nice table.
The preffered nomenclature is:
surprise C suite appreciation pizza party
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.
I was reading about how it cost this family $100k to keep their child alive and they were paying out of pocket with gofundme because the insurance rejected them.
And I did think to myself… What can you do with that 100k to get revenge?

The robot dogs are just pompous posturing by rich idiots, they don’t do anything that a cheapo CCTV camera couldn’t do.
As long as we don’t make the killer out to be a hero.
Of which they can be.
The hero that killed an evil oligarch; or the killer that killed… thousands? tens of thousands? …by denying their access to healthcare?
Commenters didn’t read the sarcasm in my post.
I didn’t catch it. I hate using shit like “/s” too, but that does come with a risk!
What do they call people who slay gold hording dragons who terrorize humanity? Sir Hero?
It’s simple, just get the company to create a list of all the people in the last 3 years who died after being denied healthcare. And then stare in horror at the list and decide that maybe the world is a slightly better place this afternoon and we should tear down the whole company and all their ilk.
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 was me. I shot Brian Thompson, CEO of United Healthcare.
I’m not even terminally ill.

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”.
Almost all blue states have strict gun control laws thanks to racist white Republicans, see Black Panther Party in California.
That’s what makes it so wonderful. A madman has taken the keys, and his platform is built by crazies who idolize guns more than their own children. You could no sooner remove gun culture from America than you could alcohol or cheeseburgers.
Man, that time American politics tried to remove alcohol from its culture was fuckin’ wild
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.
Pretty sure grapeshot cares not for their armor.
The killstick that got shinzo woulda worked with or without armor.
Normalize Splatoon guns

Please lobby for gun control.
I know a few guys who are into red hatwear… With a lot of guns who might not enjoy that very much.
so you want the guns taken?
No, I want the pot stirred enough for us to take our country back.
Millions of Americans are like you, sitting on the couch hoping the conditions will be perfect tomorrow so they can finally do something.
It’s been eight years since Trump was elected, and longer since Citizen’s United. You’re not going to do shit. Stop cosplaying a vigilante for internet points.
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.
But hey, archery still exists…
And if that gets too much heat, a slingshot takes much less space and can also be deadly with the right projectile
A sling with just a little bit of training can put out a lot more damage than a slingshot and it’s literally just a rope and a rock. It’s harder to aim but that’s what the backyard training is for.
Humans have been killing each other for [reasons] since before we even evolved into humans, if somebody is determined to do it, you’re not realistically going to stop them by depriving them of weapons. Our bare hands are deadly weapons. It’ll get done somehow.
Yeah the story of David and Goliath becomes a lot less impressive when you realize David showed up with a Bronze age Glock.
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.
It’s not as hard if Comicon is in town.
If they ban Comicon the intersectionality will be crazy
Steampunk Legend of Zelda would be a great cover.
Crafting functional firearms is way easier than people think.
Especially if you only need the gun to work once.
Lmao true
I would love nothing more than to redirect school shooters to stop shooting at their peers/innocent folks in schools.
The guillotine “jokes” aren’t really jokes.
The joke is using a guillotine and not something more modern, and American. Like a gun.
Yeah because guillotines are dangerous! They’re very sharp and because of that, we can’t have them in our household near our kids.
More modern and American than eating a big mac in a ford f150?
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.
I’ve heard the term “social murder” recently I’m relation to this. He might not have personally used a weapon against them but anyone who had died as a result of denying coverage for a life-threatening condition has been murdered socially.
Man slaps dead parasite sucking the blood of humanity
but did you hear he’s a husband and father?
Edit: was*
Edit: In case it wasn’t clear, this is a joke. Obviously.
Which means he should’ve had more empathy for the families he’s denied medical care for, right?
I saw someone post a pic of his family trying to get people to empathize with him, and to be honest it just makes me think even less of him.
I don’t really know how someone can love their kids, but deny healthcare to other children. He’d be less of a monster if he was just completely devoid of humanity all the time instead of when he’s just clocked in for work.
I don’t really know how someone can love their kids, but
Did he? Just because he had a family doesn’t mean he gave a shit about them…
I mean, fair enough. Kinda hard for me to remember people can actively feel contempt or just complete disinterest for any kid, let alone their own.
Also there’s a “love” that’s prevalent among the affluent that isn’t love at all.
Where children are seen more as and expected to fill the role as familial assets of the patriarch, more an extension of the parent’s legacy. No appreciation for the kids themselves as individuals, but attempted clones of the parents, and met with disdain when they fail to fill that mold as a failed investment.
The Trumps and Murdochs come to mind, and among extreme wealth, thats the rule not the exception.
It’s not contempt at the outset or disinterest, they see their children as assets, no different than stock or capital, to play to increase the reach of THEIR leverage, even after they’re dead.
As a parent, I have a great deal of contempt for parents that expect their kids to further their own interests or expect/demand they become little clones of them.
Kids don’t owe you shit, you owe them.
This is the thing, exactly! It’s called The Banality of Evil. When Adolf Eichmann was being tried in Nuremberg for war crimes he committed in Auschwitz, it was widely remarked on about his lack of ‘evilness’. The dude seemed like a mild mannered accountant, and by all means was, but he helped enact one of the most heinous and calculated acts of genocide in all of history.
Monsters are easy to point at and shudder, monstrous humanity is far harder to accept let alone vilify. This piece of shit CEO is firmly in the Eichmann camp of evil and we should fucking celebrate he’s dead.
I’m a husband and father. I wouldn’t disappoint them by killing thousands of people and getting shot for it. It’s a reason to not do evil things.
The wife chose marrying a psychopath. She’s no better. The kids will be somewhat better off being raised by only one piece of shit instead of two.
Did his wife and children know what he did for a living?
If anyone doesn’t know what the point of my question is, I can only direct them to go watch The Zone of Interest (2023).

It certainly should be.
Should be breaking a rule, or should be normalized?
Yes
Breaking the rules should be normalized
Look at me, I never post before leaving. I’m the real revolutionary, anti status quo
You never post before leaving where ?
There is a community called 196 with only one rule: post before you leave. Might be more niche than I thought
people gotta give CEOs more free health insurance
Careful what you wish for.
Murder is not the solution.
What is the solution?
For every problem there is some amount of murder such that the problem stops existing.
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
