    Love that the entire internet, left, right, authoritarian, liberal, and everyone in-between came out to say “lol, get rekt, oligarch.” Nothing I’ve ever seen has been as unifying as this. Running for office under the banner of beheading CEOs might sincerely get you elected.

      I think the powers that be underestimate our thirst for justice. This is the closest thing to justice for the rich we’ve seen in - maybe our lives?

      I don’t want to live in a world of vigilante justice but this kind of thing is inevitable when the system fails us for as long as it has.

      He’s not even an oligarch. He’s the oligarchs’ toadie.

      If this reaches the real oligarchs, we might see some change—and backlash but backlash is inevitable if before real change.

      “Running for office under the banner of beheading CEOs might sincerely get you elected.”

      Found my quote of the year.

      I couldn’t agree more, every Trump supporter I’ve seen or talked to is just gleeful about this. Liberal, Conservative, Progressive, Oldschool, it doesn’t matter, everyone in the 99% loves this. The day Brian Thompson was shot put a smile on the face of America.

      Everyone except the sh.itjust.works mods who keep tripping over themselves to blabber about how he was such a great man and should be respected for his hard work and stuff.

      What? The politics of right / liberal free market capitalism creates those! Did anyone read Marx and Piketty?
