That douche bag CEO isn’t gunna get his life back and so on top of the reviews we got:
- One dead asshole, hell yea.
- That one company rolling back their decision to charge even more for anesthesia.
- A whole lot of people learning even more about how fucked up healthcare really is.
- A bit of an uptick in class solidarity
- One step in the right direction.
Shut the hell up, is what I’m trying to say.
FYI they only rolled back that change in one single state. The change will still happen in other states.
Sounds like we need 49 more adjustments.
It gave us a tiny fleeting look into a world where a united working class has power and outnumbers the ruling class.
What kinda fuckass McDonald's worker calls the cops on a folk hero? This is why we will continue to be curb stomped by the boot.
Somebody who needed $60k for medical expenses.
A well trained, well beaten dog.
An economic Uncle Ruckus. They train us from birth to see shame in not being wealthy, it sadly works. Some of our economy's victims internalize their own dehumanization and see it as the natural order to report on their fellow inferiors to their betters.
The same people mourning BriBris loss by hilariously trying to shame everyone for not condemning his murder while conveniently ignoring all the people he murdered through policy, and whose policies murdered people yesterday, and will today, tomorrow...
economic Uncle Ruckus
The rich man provides us with meaningful work and purpose and we throw it back in his face by unionizing and wanting to take more of his money! We nasty poors must follow the rich man's example and one day we may be as cultured and decent as he is.
Praise the rich man and his benevolent ways!

The difference between a wanted murderer and an unsung hero depends a lot on how much, and which, media a person consumes.
I like to assume the average person is apolitical and pays only a passing glance at headlines.

....and a cold dead CEO responsible for stealing our money and leaving us to die. You left that part out.

This meme is astroturf propaganda to try to discourage the working class. There are plenty of stories of insurance companies reversing their decisions and approving procedures that they had denied the day before, or not going through with plans to reduce coverage.
That is what happens when the 1% are reminded that they are outnumbered 99 times, and that those with nothing to lose have nothing to fear.
Yep. This never depended one the efforts of one person. It’s going to take all of us working together, and filling in where we’re needed to do our part.
Someone mentioned how the first time there was a school shooter, everyone took note. And now we have school shooters. It'd be interesting if this became a thing.
Jesus christ that's...amazing.
Did you expect some kind of mass uprising to happen the very next day? A hundred million people out in the streets, all armed to the teeth, hunting CEOs for sport?
In this cartoon fantasy world of yours, what does "something coming from this" look like? Was his next stop going to be the White House where he would hold Biden at gunpoint until M4A is implemented?
Honestly my only hope is.. that the lone gunman suicidal "I want to go down in a way to be remembered" kinds of shooters. Learn from this, and consider shooting a wealthy CEO instead of a school or movie theatre etc...
I in no way want more violence... but I believe it would be nice if the "we can't do anything about" violence, were more top of the power chain instead of bottom.
Realistically, if all the school shooters start going after CEOs instead (I certainly wouldn't complain if they did) you'd very quickly see gun violence go from "unsolvable" to "very solvable".
So... you're saying
Oh no no, my friend. If the wealthy being gunned down results in gun control, it won't be for them. There will be some kind of exemption for private security that will be extremely expensive to get. Those wealthy enough will be able to find ways of sourcing their own if they want one. We'd be the ones without guns in that scenario.
I think you're actually underestimating our dystopia. Private security/military already exist to the scale that the, literal, "war" aspect of a class war would make actual arms mostly irrelevant. I think at that point it's just a numbers game.

This already exists.
In New York wealthy business people pay small town sheriffs to deputize them. As deputies they now have a right to concealed carry, even in places like NYC that have very strict gun laws.

Nonsense.
It was a wake up call for execs to quit their bullshit. It was a wake up call for the working class to band together.
And there is still a very slim chance he gets acquitted/a not guilty verdict.
The conditions that caused this event haven't gone away. And all of the school shooter types have just been taught that you will be widely regarded as a folk hero for shooting an exec, so they may opt to change their targets for the better. We will probably see more exec shooters.
Less dead children, more dead asshole? Might even reduce therapy cost for parent.
Win win win
One can hope
Pennsylvania disappoints again
First, another fucking Pennsylvania McDonald's getting involved where it shouldn't. I'm done eating at McDonald's in Pennsylvania now.
But I wonder if this was intentional. Now we all get to hear what he has to say. Hopefully he turns out to be a leader.

You really think this is over? Columbine was a shocking, once in a lifetime event when I was in middle school. By the time I was in college, school shootings were a fact of life. The only difference is that people weren't rooting for school shooters. They may have caught this guy, but a new era of gun violence is just getting started.
Let's watch how hard gun control gets pushed when the barrels are aimed at the puppet masters.
Fellow lefties: If it's safe for you to do so, acquire, train, and responsibly store. That is all.
