I heard the other day if billionaires were shot at the same rate as schools kids, we'd run out of billionaires in 2 months.
But frankly, that's one of those things you'd have to see to believe.

This is a reason why I don't think the shooter did anything outside of act in self-defense.
Or possibly community defense.
We have class-action lawsuits, and self-defense as a legal defense against murder charges. In this case, a think we should combine the two into a "class-defense" legal doctrine.
Not really murdering for profit. More like stealing their money while leaving them for dead.
We really need to end health insurance all together.
And also probably pull out the guillotines and remind the aristocracy how many of us there are and how much they actually do depend on us.
I honestly believe a general strike across the country would very quickly put things back on a course for the better.

When people are healthy, they can work. This is profitable for companies. When someone is sick, they can't work. This is not profitable for companies. So it's better to kill the ill. Just like in Auschwitz. Right, insurance companies? Right, Musk? Right, Trump? Right, most Americans who voted in favor of this system and empowering mega corps at the cost of most people by voting for Trump?
Issue is, most people's main issue is with the people in the system. They think, the right people will make the system work.
A lot of right-winger, who agrees with the CEO killer would say the CEO's main problem was going after good people, and not the "drug addicts", etc.
Ah, yeah, the drug addicts. Mostly created by the same system. Which created drug addicts from these "good people", as rich white people got loads of Oxycontin prescribed. I don't know what's in the food in the US, or what it's lacking, but making connections as simple as 1+1 is for most too difficult.
When you have shitty insurance and you're working 60hrs a week to barely make ends meet. Then, you hurt your back or fuck up a joint.
You can't stop working because you can barely afford to live. Workman's comp is a joke and you'll get fired if you try and get your job to pay for your work related injury.
However, there for a while, they were handing out oxycontin like it was candy. You can kill the pain and keep working. Until they won't give you anymore pills. Then you buy pills from a buddy or a friend of a friend. They're fake, the fentanyl in them hits different. Pain is still mostly killed. You can still keep working, keep food on the table for your kids.
But yeah, it's a rich white people thing because of something in our food.
Unless you've been in it, you don't understand the suffering built into the system. Lots of people that are suffering don't have the time, energy, or resources to do anything but tread water to keep them or their family from drowning.

He would have been safe in jail where he and his cohorts belong
It's cute that you think the justice system works the same for rich people like it does for the rest of us.
Every hear of suicide by cop? Now hear me out, what if it wasn't a cop who pulled the trigger but just a regular person? Hmm...
Fuck Matt Walsh.
Ok, carry on.
did you mean crowder?
Fuck 'em both but yeah this meme is Crowder.
Whoops. Yes. I did mean to say fuck Crowder. But fuck Walsh too.

I don't see anyone asking for anything. OP is just stating their quite factual opinion.
I’m asking
Oh ok. Carry on then.
