The natural human reaction to all of this is to first be horrified that a husband and father of two children was murdered.

This is just bad faith

I would simply not put my family in the position of having a cheerable-when-killed father

This guy murdered countless parents and spouses by denying them healthcare for his own financial gain. But you won't find any libs clutching their pearls over that.

I had never heard of Brian Thompson before today, and it’s entirely possible that he made some bad decisions. It is not possible that he deserved to be murdered, because nobody deserves to be murdered. And the level of seething resentment some people seem to have of wealthy people is deeply unhealthy. Socialism is always motivated by envy and often brought about by violence. If there is some kind of organized effort to target CEOs with violence to win applause from the public, that ought to fail because the American public would be repulsed by it. All of us need to be repulsed by this murder. Basic human decency and a commitment to a free society demand it.

It's amazing that they can say ghoulish shit like this and then wonder why people applaud their deaths.

People aren't jealous of the wealthy, they rightfully celebrate their deaths because Health Insurance companies are responsible for the deaths of millions

The more rich monsters like this pretend otherwise, the more resentment will boil. Not because of bitterness or envy, but because of logical self-preservation instinct.

Basic human decency is when lifesaving insurance claims are denied because profit is more important than human life, apparently? thinking-about-it

basic human decency means me personally winning the free market feral-hog

Socialism is always motivated by envy

Oh you mean envy for the value we produced with our labor which is stolen from us? Yes.

[–] [email protected] 52 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Pretty telling that he's already condemning socialism in his little hand-wringing piece about a CEO getting killed.

They're circling the wagons

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 month ago

Makes me giddy to see them so scared. They're terrified by the possibility of the people's power.

Any number of other people could have been caught up in it.

This was not random violence

Pick one.

[–] [email protected] 86 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The lady who was standing right next to him walked away unscathed, without the shooter even looking in her direction. I think it’s pretty clear that only a single person could’ve been caught up in it.

[–] [email protected] 84 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The only way more people would have been caught up in it is if a cop had been standing across the street and just started firing wildly

[–] [email protected] 70 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Hey now, it’s never too late for the cops to start an uncontrolled shootout in their wild goose chase for this guy. Plenty of UPS drivers to kill

Remember when the LAPD was searching for dorner and they shot at completely uninvolved people - twice

nobody should ever be killed ever, but especially not rich people because they never commit atrocities and the dirty poors are just jealous of our cool lifestyles

I want to spit in this man's face

[–] [email protected] 55 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What I want to do to this man's face is legally actionable so I won't mention it

There appears to be some confusion about this online, so here it is plain and simple: Murdering corporate executives is evil.

"Beheading monarchs is irredeemably evil" - some bootlicker during the french revolution, probably.

Look, we all know murdering CEOs is evil.

What my take presupposes is: what if it isn't?

[–] [email protected] 67 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It is not possible that he deserved to be murdered, because nobody deserves to be murdered.

Surely this man has condemned Israel's string of assassinations (and the genocide)

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He literally called it a "supposed genocide" https://archive.ph/Bzn6e (warning: chud shit)

Bit idea: Calling this ghoul's death a "supposed" murder.

I hope someone shoots this guy next

Then someone can write an article about how murdering National Review writers is evil

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 month ago

This was not random violence by a disturbed individual or street crime in an unsafe neighborhood. This was a targeted hit that someone had to pay for and plan in the center of one of the world’s most vital business districts.

kind of a learning lesson for me, made a comment about it and clearly made someone uncomfortable. Most people in my life at least take the author’s side

sigh guess I have to keep my thoughts about this contained to hexbear 😔
