Is anyone, not virtue signalling, truly upset by this? It looks like a good, but small beginning of a purge long overdue.
Upset? No. More like a little uncomfortable. Partly because I’m an idealist who always hopes for the best and most moral and peaceful solutions. Partly because it makes me uncomfortable how little I am angered by this. Sure I absolutely do not want proles to go and kill the bourgeoisie… but I guess it’s not… I don’t feel the need to condemn this. Sometimes things are just… shrug
But it’s really just a little uncomfortable, like a sock not quite fitting my foot.
I am far FAR more uncomfortable with someone calling this the good but small beginning of an overdue purge.
Upset? Maybe his wife or kids. If someone that disgustingly anti-social is even capable of faking a marriage and being a “father”.
The quotes are from his estranged wife. So he hasn’t held together a marriage.
I can just assume it was about money. Who else would marry such a disgusting human being? …if she was not as equally disgusting though. I really don’t know and not sure I do want to.
I mean how ya gonna marry someone when you know every time you have to go to the hospital theres a 32% chance your husband allows you to just die so he can save 1000$
You probably could if you’d see this as a great buisiness-idea. Save thousand moneyz for only givimg up one life you don’t even know. To many this obviously seems great.
Upset?
Yeah, a little. Not that he was killed, only that it was a pointless gesture that wasted an opportunity.
Pointless? Nah, the bourgeois probably needed a reminder of what can happen if they keep shafting people. Recon it won’t be long until the greens starts to remind them too that the climate clock still ticks.
It gives me hope that maybe the distant future doesn’t include a privileged class using the rest of us as free labor, fuel, and food…
Dude murdered countless with the stroke of a pen. What was that one song they sing in Chicago?
🎶 He had it comin’ 🎶
🎵 He only had himself to blame 🎵
It’s not funny it’s 🥾⏳
Boot time?
Say it like a Canadian. It’s aboot time.
This can be the start of our revolution
You can’t spell murder without laughter.
You’re thinking manslaughter
LMAO

The lack of the joker’s line disturbs me.
I work in the insurance industry (though not directly for an insurance company) and while it’s a small sample size, employees there range from apathetic to rolling their eyes at the “poor CEO needing money for his funeral”
Insurance is a gamble with money. Noone cares. Health-insurance is a gamble with life. If you work for Hitler, you are Hitler. At least the nazis back then could blame it on cluelessness and not knowing. You can’t. If you meant THIS kind of insurance.
Funniest thing since Titan submersible.
That was just fate
I’m not sure going around shooting people is quite as ironic
Call every crime tipline and report the person responsible for this death and many others - That person’s name was Brian Thompson.
Still reminds me of the time they sent out a sketch of the uni bomber and musician/professional jokester Weird Al did this
Do I think it’s funny?
No, it’s just… interesting:
Hey look, karma

People aren’t happy someone was murdered. People are happy that the physical representation of an industry that should prioritize health and treatment but only prioritizes profit got what it probably had coming to it.
Dunno what made you think people aren’t happy he was murdered. I’m quite pleased that he got what was coming to him. He has destroyed countless families and relationships. The only injustice is that we can’t reanimate his corpse and kill him again.
It was a PERSON that was murdered.
The kind of PERSON who celebrates profiting off of making people suffer by snorting coke off his buddy’s cocks. Deny, defend, depose.
Protip: knowing how to type while holding SHIFT does not make you CORRECT.
Morally not condoning murder of an innocent makes me correct.
Feel free to not condonde the murder of an innocent all you want, but that’s another case, not this one.
nooo how dare you push the lever :(I’m not entirely convinced that billionaires should be considered human
43 millionaire. He was 957 million short of his first billion. He was comfortably in the top 1%, but not anywhere close to the top .1%.
Maybe people shouldn’t consider you human.
If he ever starts hoarding piles of gold like an angry dragon, you may have a point
Sounds like you care about someone very rich and very exploitative, and you don’t like the idea of scores of people cheering in the event they’d have the same done to them by someone they’d exploited.
I want to assure you that we do not care about your feelings. We’ll celebrate their passing and few will sympathize with your grief.
I don’t agree with innocent people being gunned down for no reason.
I’m gonna guess you’re not worried about someone else, you’re feeling some kind of guilt about exploiting a lot of people.
“For no reason?” Were you hatched yesterday, or something?
Neither do I. Hence I celebrate that he was gunned down for good yes reason.
It’s sick to think there’s people like you in the world who condone killing innocent people just because you don’t like them.
He wasn’t a billionaire. Not even close.
And, for an instant, she stared directly into those soft blue eyes and knew, with an instinctive mammalian certainty, that the exceedingly rich were no longer even remotely human.
Gibson, Count Zero
Yeah, but the person was a murderer to begin with.
I mean, sort of.
nah
It was a PERSON that was murdered.
So was Jeffrey Dahmer.
Brian had a way higher k/d ratio though, so thats really unfair to Jeffrey.
Doubt
How many people died to make his company more money?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ people die everyday
Right? Fuck people
Sometimes they die because the health insurance that they pay for gets rejected.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_murder
So were all the people who died from denied care so he could buy a yacht or fourth house or whatever.
To be that cold blooded he was definitely a reptile of some sort.
Let’s not offend reptiles like this. Cockroaches, maybe.
Yeah you’re right, I’ve handled wild garter snakes that are more nice then that guy.
He was a person. Dehumanizing him like you did is similar to how Hitler dehumanized people. Congrats on being like Hitler.
You are being like Hitler too.
Is your retort the 8-year old version of “I know you are but what am I?”
No.
“LiTERalLy HiTleR”
A person? No, it was lots of people who were murdered. Fortunately, they got the guy who was doing it.
The person who murdered the CEO has not been caught so you are wrong.
Is it murder to shoot someone who’s in the process of murdering people in order to stop them from committing murder?
He wasn’t a rock?!??
I’m glad he was offed. People like that simply don’t deserve to live. If you despise human life, why should yours be respected at all?
This coming from a non-american, anti-religious misanthropist.
And it also shows the rich getting to experience the find out part after constantly fucking around.
I’m kinda happy. Hope it happens more too. Aaaand ima get banned aren’t I?
No mods, I didnt see any comment.
RIP ur account when an admin sees it
I for one wholeheartedly endorse this violence for it’s reasons.
I mean fuck it. Reddit banned me for endorsing violence with a tongue in cheek comment that really didn’t endorse shit despite how I made and grew one of the most famous subreddits.
Nothing is safe when a dude over there can make rotten decisions you can’t physically do shit about. I’m gonna support the “physically do shit about it” people. Getting banned from Reddit did my health wonders.
Those fuckers banned me for “inciting violence” when I made a joke about melting guns down into bullets, and “glorifying violence” when I said I think it’s funny when conservatives die from drinking listeria milk.
I’m with you. I’m glorifying this violence, and I hope the gunman never gets caught. If he does, catch me donating to his defense fund.
I’ll give a shit about Thompson’s family grieving the day the day that no American dies from lack of access to insulin. How many grieving families do these whiny fucking centrists ignore every six minutes on average?
Nah, this ain’t lemmy.world.
For the record I’m very happy about this.
both your accounts are on world, though, and at this point i honestly wouldn’t be shocked to hear that you woke up tomorrow to find you could no longer log in
What do you mean both? I only have one account.
You and the guy you’re replying to
Oh, duh. Sorry.
Aaaand ima get banned aren’t I?
What is this, reddit.com? There’s no bourgeois advertisers or venture capitalists to appease here. [0]
edit: just noticed your account is registerd on lemmy.world… consider exploring other instances just in case they get out the banhammer. but, I mean, they can’t ban all of you.
least rabid ml user:
haha rabid in what way?
not ne… your .world yeah your banned
I’m just here so I don’t get fined
Yes.
