    You know what’s pretty neat about this?

    It’s not mob justice. Mob justice is when people get together and come up with bad ideas. This is an individual that the public has now rallied around.

    While we only see comments from a select few number of people in this country (relative to it’s size of 350m) it seems that democracy is voicing itself. I know a lot of people who were initially shocked, but then quickly came to the conclusion that FAFO is a real thing.

    And health insurance companies have done a lot of fucking around.

        We don’t know the implications of this. But there got to be something big coming our way.

        Ruling class will not have their lieutenant punished like this in a broad day light with out lashing out.

        They already despise as is, they gonna step up brutality imho screw here, screw there.

          That’s just going to pour gas on the fire. The less people have to lose, the more likely they’re going to take matters into their own hands.

      “Mob justice” is a boogeyman invented to distract you from the fact that the cops and the state give you no justice at all.

        It’s not even mob justice, it’s vigilante justice. It just so happens in this case practically everyone is pretty happy about it having happened.

        The mob never called for this CEO’s death, we’re just not sad he was killed. Even if in general most of us wouldn’t actively call for people to be killed.

        If it makes CEOs afraid, then fantastic, a nice happy side-bonus.

      Hopefully more of the FO part comes out of the woodwork.
