    How hated must you be when suddenly leftists, tankies, fascists, conservatives and liberals find themselves in quiet agreement about their feelings on your murder. Even the silence from gun control advocates is deafening.

      It’s the thing the people who are CEOs don’t want us to think about. It’s not leftists, tankies, fascists, conservatives against each other. It’s them against everyone else.

      To be fair, this isn’t really a “gun control” type situation. A single, targeted, killing, would have been just a successful if it were done with a knife instead. The gun control arguments are more applicable to spree killings.

        I mean, the guy would have been able to write their whole message on one knife rather than needing three bullet casings to get it across.

        So I guess environmentalists and the metal industry (Big Metal?) would probably care a bit?

      That’s why the ruling class pushes all the wedge issues and divisiveness they do. If we could talk to each other, we’d find we had more in common than otherwise expected. I thought the recent surge in union activity could have continued to a general strike across the nation. The rich know what unites us and actively seems to keep us fractured so we don’t realize our combined power.

      Maybe this dude will be a catalyst in a revolution that sets these disgusting, wealthy leeches in their place.

        Even if this isn’t the one, the accelerated pace at which we’re having moments that might should scare the oligarchs

          Everyone has been feeling the pressure of “something is about to happen” for the better part of a decade. That pressure has to vent somewhere.

        The quiet part is the agreement with others you completely disagree with almost always, and even often despise.
