The man arrested in the killing of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO is being held without bail after a New York federal court appearance on charges including a death-eligible murder count.
There won’t be any riots. The reason this guy acted at all is because the people are too cowed. There are thousands of people in the same position as him, but none of them are taking any action. Tens of thousands more are in a similar position, but are they already in the streets? No.
This guy is a celebrity because he’s doing what everyone wishes they could do, but are afraid to do themselves. The quick arrest and trial are to remind people of what will happen to them, too, if they step out of line.
I feel like the statistical chances this is the only guy, even just in the USA itself with a 300 million plus population, capable and willing to do this would be insane. This was domino one, we’re just waiting on the who/what domino two is.
I think a big part of the problem with that coming to be so is that there is probably a majority of people who understand that our health care system is screwed and screws people over, but so many of them don’t have any idea or understanding of why. And they’re not aware of the class war.
They won’t give him the death penalty. They would have fucking riots on their hands.

I think you’re right, but I don’t want you to be.

Hopefully you’re right.
