    Weird fucking story tbh. Apparently the shooter got CTE from playing football in college and decided to shoot up the NFL offices. Got off on the wrong floor and blasted some of the worst capitalists in America instead.

      I really do hope so. The elites did nothing when schoolchildren were and are getting shot daily and now every psycho has a mini armory. At least its finally being put to good use

      I think it may depend upon how the public reacts to this shooting.

      Honestly, if they react the way they did with UnitedHealth, despite the condemnation from the media, then I would completely expect to see more capitalists getting capped. Shooters are usually deprived of social relations, etc. and would be desperate to be seen as heroes by the public, which would be just a pure :waow:.

        From what I heard so far I think this one was chance not targeted at this person. I’d hold off until we get more info on the motive

        But either way sounds like one less shithead

          Yeah, that’s what people mentioned here too. So, sounds like the motive was unrelated/missing but the outcome was acceptable.

          Maybe the motive will throw people off, since United had a vengeance element. In which case, I think we could tentatively say USians approve of revenge killings of CEOs.

      The american monomyth is strong and self-sacrifice is usually inherent in it. So I guess the shooter will be received positively.

            Whales aren’t fish though. But tbh the exact same reasoning applies- parasites. I might be wrong but my understanding is essentially nothing in the ocean escapes them. You’re constantly swimming through a larval soup. And almost all of them are horrifying, like that isopod that eats and then effectively replaces tongues. Or how Greenland sharks all have copepods chewing through their eyes that make them blind.

                Okay you’re right and I knew you’re right in that specific manner but I’m leaning with that sort of Reddit user Unidan rant about crows and shit, like, nobody is going out there saying fish and including mammals with the very specific exception of people who know their evolutionary relationships and even then it’s only really brought up in instances like this

                I mean like nobody’s out there eating beef during Lent or whatever and saying hey i mean, technically… yknow, cow’s a fish

                  Given how bastardized fasting during Lent has become, that isn’t giving any credence to your argument. Technically you aren’t supposed to eat any meat except for designated feast days, where you are allowed to eat fish.

                  I don’t know why you would assume the traditions of a religion that, in all honesty shouldn’t respect the idea of an evolutionary taxonomy, would respect changed understandings of evolutionary taxonomy. I’m just waxing poetic this point though, you are correct in the broadest sense.

                  I mean, I personally think about this shit all the time, but that’s just me.

              Here’s a not so fun fact- life on land is filled with parasites too! And every organism that breathes air is teeming with them, including you and me! Most of us who live under modern conveniences are mostly free of the really big scary ones, but even the healthiest of us still host millions, if not billions of unwanted travelers on our bodies.

                I can live with microscopic parasites or, at most, you know those mites and shit that live in your eyelashes. Im not going to be like, oh, cool, some crustacean can just swim into my eye and eat it and i just have to deal, that’s cool.

                Let’s not keep talking about it though because honestly the prevalence of fucked up parasites almost makes me want to PTC a dose of ivermectin as a prophylactic. It’s hard not to think “what if one of those times I was barefoot in the mud I got infested with some fucked up worm.”

                i really need to go to the doctor just to check shit up because I’m probably in decent health but i’m at this point of, yeah I have insurance now, but i’m almost broke and what if the checkup ends up costing a shitload of money I don’t have when I have many other pressing needs

                Love to be an american m i rite

    Two senior law enforcement officers said the suspect was targeting the National Football League’s office, but ended up on the floor of another company by mistake.

    I prefer to call it a happy little accident

    So was this collateral damage, considering he was supposedly targeting the NFL?

    Regardless, man goes on shooting rampage at building full of evil people and an evil person died. Shocker

    Rest in peace to the security guard and the shooter, who were both working class.
