    I am looking at another headline right now: “White House condemns using violence to tackle ‘corporate greed’”

    When corporate greed is out of fucking control, and nobody is lifting a finger to do anything about it via legal channels, what the fuck else do you think is going to happen?

    I’m also amused by how reporting on this has been “We’re trying to work out what his motive was,” when it’s so clear that everybody knows what it was. They are fucking us, every day, and this guy got pushed to his breaking point. The fact that there’s been such vocal support for Claims Adjuster - not just indifference - suggests that a whole lot of people are real close to their breaking points.

    This is how revolutions begin.

      Yep, and spreading pictures of the guy all over the internet in celebration of his deed has been a wonderful second step. That was truly clever and smart and didn’t help at all his arrest.

      Go USA revolution, go!

      Just put down that self indulgence, before you hurt yourself.

          Yes, good. I love the smell of gaslighing in the morning.

          I’m just sorry for the guy, while I do not condone what he did since I’m in a country where usa has license to kill without too many obstacles or consequences (I know, this ain’t narrowing it down much). The mugshots are the pictures of a man who knows he’s finished, done for. Nobody will really help him, and the best part of his life will be in a cell. And those idolizing him are the one who helped get him caught.

      Before we knew anything about him, it was just as plausible that he killed the CEO for authorizing payments for abortion. It wasn’t clear it had anything to do with wealth in the beginning
