While Reddit mods and admin try to keep up with the site's "no violence" terms of use, Facebook and LinkedIn is reacting with tens of thousands of laughing emojis.
At least some health insurance companies are temporarily easing up on denials or pausing shitty policies like limiting anthensia coverage during surgery.
That alone could save a few hundred lives, even if just for a little while.
Well, if you don’t wanna celebrate a monster dying just for the sake of it, we can look at it from an environnent perspective, taking that pos out did more for the environnent than Green Peace has in the last 10 years.
This act broke the taboo against violence and shattered the perception of powerlessness. Turns out there is something you can do against these assholes, and it’s not as unpopular an option as you might have expected.
It may inspire imitation, emboldening other pissed victims. It may scare the other CEOs into treading more carefully. It might embolden progressive politicians to challenge the status quo, now that they see how popular that can be.
Or it might end up a big ball of hot air that doesn’t do anything. Like I said, hard to predict.
If all the disaffected white teens stopped shooting up schools and started shooting CEOs, it’s not healthy, but they would be channeling their anger in a better direction.
But even by USA capitalist standards, this specific man was a monster who in a just world wouldn’t be allowed to be in charge of anything. The world is slightly better off without such a greedy and heartless man in it.
I think it’s a precedent, CEOs actually have something to fear aside from their job. Which usually fails upward with a good serverance package. This is also a sign that the Government and the laws of the land no longer works for the people. It’s a good and a bad thing either way. Personally I think it’s a huge mistake we made companies as a person. I think this is were the root cause is. Since it disconnects the accountability of the people working especially the higher ups.
If they’re a person it should go all the way. They should be able to go on trial for homicide. Some states still have the death penalty for people. Disband the company if it commits serious crimes.
I think this is as funny as the next person but realistically what will change?
Won’t they just elect another scumbag and keep going?
The assassination reminded us that they are not some sort of incorporeal beings, but that they can be killed.

I mean that’s a fair thought.

While still jailing those who made the decisions and performed the illegal actions.
Nothing will change unless it becomes a recurring and common thing.
How many people can actually pull off a successful assassination of a wealthy person? Not many, especially now that security is going to go up.
Nothing will change, but at least that one guy got some revenge.
Assassinating is so easy a child could do it. It’s getting away with it that’s hard.
not a problem for people with nothing left to lose.
just wait until Republicans suddenly turn anti-2A
