      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.
