      Do you mean blackrock? FIFA and all the international sporting organizations suck and are corrupt as hell but they’re just not on the same level of evil as health insurance companies. Nestle is, but it’s evilness isn’t really in America, it’s elsewhere, and elsewhere isn’t armed to the teeth like we are.

      I’m shocked it’s taken this long.

        This is the part thats exciting to me.

        Who hasn’t been affected by this? Or hasn’t seen health insurance denials hurt people?

        They can pay security all they want. But the security better be truly sociopathic because whatever the salaries they get paid still won’t bring back friends, family, neighbors, mentors, etc.

        And who says the security will be loyal? Just like who says the cops are really gonna try to catch this guy?

        The hatred of the health insurance companies is truly universal. In such a divided polarized country it’s truly incredible how unifying this act of murder was.

        Everyone except the politicians have to deal with these insurance companies. That includes cops and private security. How many of them have had their claims denied for their sick children or family members? No amount of money can buy off that rage.

            It has nothing to do with what’s right for the people but more so doing what’s selfish. They’ve been fucked over too so I doubt they’ll put much effort into this.

              I hope you’re right but I will never underestimate a fascist’s desire for power. Kill this guy or frame a scapegoat and you get money, promotion, worship from the common fascists. Maybe even a ghostwritten book deal and get millions.

                Oh I’m sure there’s someone who wants to get the fame for killing modern day bin Laden (omg what a sentence). But I think the majority of the rank and file have had negative experiences themselves with the health insurance companies and don’t want to do more than the bare minimum in solving this.

                Maybe I’m being biased and hyperbolic but this is the most unifying political event I’ve ever lived through and I lived through quite a bit of major political events now. Only the most pearl clutching of false piety liberals are condemning this… nearly everyone in this country has had first or secondhand experience of being fucked over by health insurance.

                  If we’re still talking about the same guy I prefer modern day John Brown.

                  This is truly the most unifying thing. I wish it had happened before the election but I doubt it would have changed anything. I want to hold onto this feeling.

      Indeed it would be a horrible development if the missing liability would be enforced by vigilantes!

      Hopefully it never comes to that. I think it’s more likely they pick a scapegoat than catch the actual assassin. The pictures that came out yesterday don’t even look like the same person.

      That corrupt motherfucker Eric Adams needs a win badly. Remember the Central Park Five?

    Can’t wait for 6 months from now when people are saying, “what a mistake it was to make fun of that CEO” for no fucking reason. Like they do for BLM; defund the police; wokeness; eat the rich; anti-work movement; anything that brings light to the corporate oligarchs and the systems of oppression thet they use. Nah, this is where we are at. You can pretend our morals will overcome but that’s just pretend.

      we have morals. That’s what makes society strong. but to have our morals degraded and to have our government not only ignore our cries for help but to empower the villains that are attacking us… what else are we to do?

      they didn’t listen when we asked them to stop.

      they didn’t listen when we begged them to stop.

      they didn’t listen when we yelled at them to stop.

      they won’t need to listen when we make them stop.

    Kinda reminds me of the time Ken McElroy was murdered in the middle of Skidmore Missouri during an altercation where most of the town was present and “nobody saw anything”.
