    “in its most basic terms, this was a killing that was intended to evoke terror”

    Who? Who was it to terrorize? Finish your sentence. Was it billionaires who steal money from hard working Americans then let them die from denied coverage? Was the answer?

      was intended to evoke terror

      So basically, the whole premise of the American death penalty? As opposed to the deaths and bankruptcies that create terror that health insurance companies are allowed to promote, or the terror created by those who arrest mothers getting their health insurance appeals denied because they echo their mottos back to them to attempt to suppress any popular support at a revolution?

      I will say, with Trump getting voted in, Americans have shit timing at their attempts at revolutions. This is the last millisecond type of stuff, quite lacking and even somewhat (but not very) controversial.

      Terrorism is just an aspect of asymmetric warfare.

      Complaining about terrorism usually boils down to “rich people suffering consequences because of poor people.”

    It’s embarrassing that the murder of 1 CEO is a bigger news story than yet another school shooting.

      I didn’t even see it. I was told by someone. That’s how “normal” it is. Apparently it was a girl too, that’s rare. Not news worthy? Ffs.

        The only way I know about the shooting is this comment chain and one of the “only country where this happens regularly” memes on here.

      It makes sense though. School schootings are depressing and happen all the time. The CEO murder was a breath of fresh air.

      I keep saying incels need to pivot from elementary schools to country clubs.

      They can legit be making the world a better place and fighting back against the people who are actually responsible for their suffering.

      Rich people don’t have a problem getting laid, ever. In fact, the idea that wealth makes someone more attractive actively contributes to the the rise of incels.

    I didn’t realize killing pond scum was a crime now. Home improvement stores are about to find themselves in deep shit.

    I am so tired of seeing that CEOs ugly mug everywhere. Regular people who are killed don’t get their faces plastered everywhere every time there’s news about their killing. It feels like the media are trying to encourage sympathy from the masses, but all I see is a monster who let hundreds of thousands die and/or suffer from crippling ailments for profit.

    I wasn’t even thinking of them playing the terrorism card but here we are.

    various charges, including first-degree murder, and two counts of second-degree murder

    How does that work?
