    If I was him, I would not be scared at all. People will shitpost about CEOs and how scummy they are but 99.999% won’t do anything further. If I was an unethical healthcare CEO, I’d be laying low for another week or so, and then the American public will be on to their next outrage shortly. The public’s attention span is very short. There will be a new target of outrage next week and we’ll go on paying our huge healthcare premiums, as we have all along.

        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

            If we’re gonna have an epidemic of domestic violence

            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.
