    Yeah, shame there wasn't some way to set up a gofundme to disincentivise dobbing him in for the reward monies.

    Hopefully a jury just finds him not guilty.

    How do you find someone not guilty for shooting a man in the head in full view of a camera?

    One presumes he wasn't really all that interested in not being caught seeing as he was bowling around with the gun, the silencer and a manifesto as to why he did it.

    Most people that way inclined would just pop themselves at the first sign of the net closing in. Fuck the Big Mac.

    I've never done jury duty but I think you just say "not guilty" and if enough of you do it, that's the verdict.

    You'd need a judge that's okay with murder. Otherwise that jury gets dismissed.

    I suppose he could say all of the evidence is deep fake deep state plants, maybe that might wangle and angle but good luck finding an American jury that doesn't want to convict a CEO shooter. They fucking love CEOs, it's what their entire national identity is built around.

    SvNs correct, its Jury Nullification. The irony being that if you discuss the concept of Jury Nullification with your fellow jurors then they can have you removed from the jury,

    Correct. Once again the internet isn't representative of the public.

    At least the communists had some sort of plan of what to do after their revolution. The current 'leftist' lot just wants to moan.

    I mean, to think that he was some sort of hero because he wrote 'corporations bad lol' in fucking 2024 is not much better than thinking he is a woke snowflake. He is just one of many lunatics that this country manages to put out on a daily basis.

    It's almost like there's a large state apparatus built specifically to forment divides, inform, arrest and murder those that even might possibly do something based on the previous issues they had.

    Have you seen any government in action? As if those fuckers could create 'a large state apparatus built specifically to forment divides, inform, arrest and murder.'

    I'm sorry but what exactly do you think the CIA has been doing to your country of origin and the rest of Latin America for the past 70 years?

    It's just so anti-intellectual to go 'lol government bad and incompetenent' when for your entire existence and generations and generations before you there has been empire. Empire doesn't just appear one day and never disappear by fluke.

    Anyway, I am sure once redditors kill a few more CEOs climate change will disappear and we will reach a new era of prosperity, wait no, equity like never seen before.

    Much like wishing death on Thatcher I've found the response to this weird. Tis a rocky road when you're deciding who it's acceptable to kill, whoever you are.

    This vision is kind of the problem.

    1) Being against the US Healthcare System doesn't make you anti-capitalist
    2) Even in this imaginary world, where would be acceptable for an anti-capitalist to shop.

    Some corporations are sub-human scum, a man that guns down a human in the street is sub-human scum. Why is that so difficult for people to say and why do we always need sides? It's so monumentally tedious and gets us absolutely nowhere.

    Because the individual is much less of a threat to the greater mass than the corporation.

    So murder is entirely justified when it's done against someone working for a scummy corporation? Or just very rich people working for scum corporations? What are the rules here?

    If this is true then isn't it even more stupid of people to want to legitimise murdering their perceived societal enemies? You would effectively be arguing for yourself being chucked out of a helicopter.

    Justified probably isn’t the term but like, if a local drug dealer/criminal that’s made my local area worse gets off’d I’m supposed to feel bad for him?

    I think that CEO's of companies literally killing people and creating poverty for thousands of families should be given teddy bears, extra Christmas presents and hugs and kisses.

    I mean, if I had control over everything I would send him to jail and then reform the entire health care system. Given that I don't, I'm not going to feel to upset about the death of a man who got rich at the expense of countless people's lives. And if it serves as a precursor to changing the whole system - which is hard to quantify, obviously, but people have definitely talked more about the problems of the health care system this week than in the last 5 years put together - then I'll be extra not-upset.

    Like the Potawotamie massacre.

    I am curious where one draws the line at outrage. Is killing a dictator okay? Dictators are human beings too.

    I'm going to shoot an NHS nurse every half hour until the service is privatised. Take direct action for what you believe in.
