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

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.

tbf… I’ve seen a LOT of libs just as gleeful about this as non-libs.

In fact, this event has wrought an interesting unified voice from all sides of the aisle in the US: Everyone (Except the oligarchs or their henchmen) are happy about this.

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?

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

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

They’re circling the wagons

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

Yeah I’m envious of the oligarchs. They get to fuck around as they please and never have to worry about not having their material needs met. The rest of us get to worry about whether we can afford groceries, growing old or having teeth. If this is not supposed to fill you with a deep sense of these fuckers getting more than their fair share on your behalf, then what is?

Lmao fuck off, I don’t want billions, or even multi-millions. I just want to live with dignity. I don’t want to face starvation, being without work, I want a roof over my head that doesn’t cost a kidney every week. It’s not fucking envy, you slimy piece of shit liberals. I don’t envy the ghouls who run our society.

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.

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

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
