The Network Contagion Research Institute studies the spread of hostile ideological content. From an article linked in this article:

“We’ve identified highly engaged posts circulating the names of other healthcare CEOs and others celebrating the shooter," he said. "The framing of this incident as some opening blow in a class war and not a brutal murder is especially alarming.”

The framing of this incident as some opening blow in a class war is reflective of the feelings of the working class for some time now.

Here's a neat graph

The fact that we're only just now getting heads rolling is honestly surprising

Alarming if you know you'd be in the firing line, in which case you have plenty of money with which to retire and do something good instead. The choice is yours.

They have always been fighting, we are the ones who need to be fighting back. And looks like maybe someone just did (except if the killer is a contract killer hired by another rich waste of space).
