        Don’t get scammed but if he ever needs a legal defense fund, I think the plebs can figure it out.

        He did job well, least we can do it pay respects

        Even if he did, any funds would be frozen. A Monero Address would be a better way of receiving money.

        Edit: Mind you, I expect him to very soon be arrested, so he wouldn’t really have any time to enjoy it.

        Edit 2: Look up Jim Bell. He wrote a very popular essay in the 90s.

          This is one of the things that scares me about most about completely anonymous currencies and networks: untraceable kill orders and, to a lesser extent, unlimited bribery (that already exists in US). Because you know, it opens the most possibilities to people with money. Like billionaires.

            I suspect billionaires and other people of high authority, especially, would be the first ones on the list. But your average everyday person is very unlikely to be on the list because they don’t have enough people who hate them.

      When society gets to the point where you will die if you don’t do anything … or you will die if you do something …

      Eventually people realize that they will be punished, threatened or endangered no matter what they do or don’t do, some people will come to the conclusion that they would rather go down fighting.

      If you’re going to get screwed doing nothing, some would rather go out on a blaze of glory because they no longer have anything to lose.

        I am assuming that when this guy is caught, what we will find out is that his wife had cancer and died from it and they refused to honor their claims or something like that.

          Hopefully it doesn’t come to that, and he just never gets caught.

          If he does, it’s gonna be one hell of a gofundme campaign for his defense.

      Can we crowdfund this, and provide a crypto bounty as reward for targets, including politicians, in the same way there was a reward for information on the shooter?

      This would be to let those who step out of line know how much disdain there is for any of them in particular at any given moment, and the rewards can be split as needed.

      The proletariat needs alternative systems of leverage.

      This is for my Purge sequel screenplay, of course. One can dream.
