I don't want to be callous about this horrendous crime but I did laugh when the news reported that the perp escaped on an electric bike. There was something so PeeWee Herman about that.

voicesbyzane.bsky.social•200 days ago

"Horrendous crime" ohhh live a little Bette, he was a fucking corpo rat. Everyone knows the Bourgeoisie aren't human.

bettevcollins.bsky.social•199 days ago

It is horrendous. People witnessed that shooting & will have to live with that trauma the rest of their lives. His kids will be traumatized. I feel for those people.

But will I shed tears for a man who caused suffering & death thru his company policies?

Not one.

They could have been human but have made every effort to remove themselves from humanity. We’re just giving them what they asked for. They should be happy we’re no longer wasting our humanity on them.

winwinseattle.bsky.social•200 days ago

The dark irony is the far right and their billionaire funders having convinced the masses that God wants them armed and what may now be coming of it.
The disarmament effort will be interesting, to say the least.

voicesbyzane.bsky.social•200 days ago

I don't think this is gonna be the spark that ignites the revolution but I hope at least one rich douche out there is like "oh dear these people actually want me dead"

caleb-j.bsky.social•200 days ago

The thing we're not talking about is how there will probably be copycats, and that will probably be what causes the billionaires to lean into Trump's fascism. They're going to want safety and Trump will be more than willing to help them with his shiny new toy government.

dacemcgraw.bsky.social•200 days ago

Except they're all-in for him anyway so I'm not sure what changes from one assassination...

caleb-j.bsky.social•200 days ago

Yeah. It's a bit more of the "but if we do this, Trump will do the bad things he already promised to do" sort of stuff.

But it will be his justification, nonetheless. And the corporate media is going to embrace it because it protectes billionaries.

popezebbidiexii.bsky.social•200 days ago

Worrying about how the right will twist your messaging is pointless. They will always twist your messaging, no matter how anodyne you go. They'll just make it up and claim you said it.

caleb-j.bsky.social•200 days ago

I don't even have a token counterpoint to offer. You are correct. lol.

stupidopossum.bsky.social•200 days ago

Well, it certainly won’t be with that attitude.

stupidopossum.bsky.social•200 days ago

Like that post has some serious reason we lost the election energy

boomerxyz.bsky.social•200 days ago

It's simple money redistribution for the wealthy. Let's force a populace to direct their health care through a for profit corporation that profits from denying claims/care. It's a model for wealth, not healthcare.

warmwestwind.bsky.social•200 days ago

and the perp gets away clean

patchpatch.bsky.social•200 days ago

A shared sentiment. I find murder distasteful but I hope this does send a message to people that things have to change because everything is a powder keg ready to blow up.

oddballbrad.bsky.social•200 days ago

When they deny collective bargaining and make us all poor, they may need to be reminded of the alternatives to bargaining.

schizoposter.bsky.social•200 days ago

I’m sure you’re the whitest and most privileged person on the planet

clatanoffsis3.bsky.social•200 days ago

Those first hours after Trump won I had despair so much more visceral than when he won in 2016. I don’t think I was alone in that feeling. It was truly the first time I realized that perhaps if the US fell, I could be okay with that and live under a different flag. What if MAGA was just cosplay?

lenoxus.bsky.social•200 days ago

I really don't think the proletariat are laughing about it, because most most normies are, well, normies. At most they're shrugging, not laughing

caleb-j.bsky.social•200 days ago

I took a stroll over into Fox's comment section to get the vibe (my only visit to corporate media since the election). Their response is generally more muted, but carries basically the same sentiment as ours, from what I saw. They told us to find common ground. Now they're worried we did 🤷‍♂️

lenoxus.bsky.social•200 days ago

That's not normies either!

caleb-j.bsky.social•200 days ago

True. But both political parties have been operating without any attention or help from Normies for a long time. lol. That's not new.

lildonnyb.bsky.social•200 days ago

I doubt it. But it would be nice if it were some sort of reality check for these ghouls. My hunch is they don’t care though.

duanemoody.qwiffer.com•200 days ago

It's kind of you to think he wasn't in trouble with someone who took out a hit on him, and that his cohort didn't know and expect this to happen

apostatesquirrel.bsky.social•200 days ago

Kind of gives "they won't be missed" a little bit of a dark twist.

parkjuj.bsky.social•200 days ago

extends to not just executives I feel, but any who profiteer from human suffering

sunshinex.bsky.social•200 days ago

A C.E.O, terrified after being told one of their one was gunned down rushes home, on the way to the garage people working on the building are looking at the C.E.O with a strange grim

misterw9.bsky.social•200 days ago

What the actual f**k?
The US healthcare system is so majorly screwed up. Why do you put up with this?

25thcenturygirl.bsky.social•200 days ago

Why doesn’t the united states have universal health care? The answer has everything to do with race.

catsofblsky.bsky.social•200 days ago

They are backtracking and not going to implement it right now. They will wait until something else distracts everyone then drop the policy m

unicahija.bsky.social•200 days ago

The working class has to get comfortable with the thought of instilling fear in their oppressors, and I'm not joking at all. These hell spawns need to experience fear caused by something other than loss of profits and a weakening dollar. No amount of money can buy them invincibility.

azalisa.bsky.social•199 days ago

aajonesy68.bsky.social•200 days ago

Are we the proletariat? I love that.

sirisema.bsky.social•200 days ago

it was odd to get verbal responses to the news when shared with others that were singular. usually a response to a murder contains more than "good".

taylorjoseph.bsky.social•200 days ago

The message here is that you can bribe the legal court, but not the court of public opinion, which never forgets and never forgives

fredwitting.bsky.social•200 days ago

Perhaps more the normal situation.
It’s legal doesn’t mean it’s moral.

See slave trade etc.

taylorjoseph.bsky.social•200 days ago

Yeah I say bribing in the sense they use their capital to prevent their crimes from being crimes, and that layer of protection breeds hatred from the public

fredwitting.bsky.social•200 days ago

Pay their way to legality of their business model.
Gotcha

ellenkagan.bsky.social•200 days ago

Perfectly said. Unless this horrific health system is corrected, we shall see more of this violence.

succubelle.bsky.social•200 days ago

The health system isn't already violent, just in a way we've been conditioned to accept

succubelle.bsky.social•200 days ago

*is already violent. I changed the wording before posting but missed that part 😆

dvdbutler.bsky.social•200 days ago

They'll convince themselves this was a fluke unless more get offed.

chrysscott.bsky.social•200 days ago

Make rich people scared (again?). I think people who hoard $ are too sociopathic to care if we hate them, but yes, I want them very frightened.

usn82.bsky.social•200 days ago

I hope they are scared. They should be.

Sometimes violence is the only way to rebalance the power.

tobinmcjiggleson.bsky.social•200 days ago

They've been afraid

arghonn.bsky.social•200 days ago

Not afraid enough.

discoidealist.bsky.social•199 days ago

And this was even earlier.

Maybe they will just decide that yes, they should ok that claim for the anti-psychotics.

cdanuloff.bsky.social•199 days ago

Nice to mute you.

generalleianow.bsky.social•200 days ago

Intrusive thoughts out loud are my favorite. Thank you

bungeebrain.bsky.social•200 days ago

I really hope this is the start of the eat the rich phase of America. Musk weighed in with a tweet that shows us exactly what they think of us. Peasants and servants.

realguyfawkes.bsky.social•200 days ago

Absofuckinglutley!

tjhughes100.bsky.social•199 days ago

Weird how the world got away from revolutions and assassinations when there was a better balance 🤔 I guess we’re going to see how much value bodyguards put on their own lives

thebabygoat.bsky.social•200 days ago

I hope it keeps them awake at night and reconsider their life choices

mac-is-short.bsky.social•200 days ago

oh dear, why are the workers and victims of a corrupted ass company laughing about the footage of their ceo getting killed? so horrific and disgusting!!!

If the terrorists can terrify us then we can terrify the terrorists.

joisspeaking.bsky.social•200 days ago

Why do mass shooters target school children? I'll never know. Is there anyone more innocent than school kids? If you want people to be pro gun, there are ways to get there. Maybe. Idk. Nevermind. Just saying.

showgirlcf.bsky.social•199 days ago

Revolution, French

dogman73.bsky.social•199 days ago

If you live in Chicago, I think you have to worry about that. Liberal State.

yolkydokey.bsky.social•200 days ago

Would it be considered legal harassment to have people dressed like jacket guy standing outside of megacorps? Asking for a friend.
