Wow, I really hope this isn't the moment it starts and a bunch of copy cats spring up targeting all the parasites. That would be terrible.

With all the suicides caused by extreme wealth inequality it's a good thing that suicidal people don't kill a CEO before killing themselves. That would be tragic.

In the dark moments I'm sometimes comforted by the thoughts of who I could take with me to hell.

[–] Tinidril@midwest.social 17 points 2 months ago

I suspect that some people might think of it as a lost opportunity.

Infinite target selection...

Shooter got away. Who knows, maybe they're not after just one

Your comment to gods ears

They got away so far. There may be a time limit on that.

But with that said, there is still a chance that even if caught the jury does a little jury nullification.

Bombs being thrown into boardrooms is certainly something nobody wants.

Well no, it's a nice table.

The preffered nomenclature is:

Bad example. That is a CEO killing his board of directors.

The fact that the man got away (and had a silencer) goes to show that it's more rich targeting the rich. Likely not a peasant. The billion-dollar question is: Why?

Suppressors, like anything else gun related, aren't that hard to come by. You can even make your own pretty easily. They won't hold up over 1000 rounds at the range but they would be more than sufficient for something like this.

You're right that we don't know why this happened. I'm just saying I don't find the possibility that a suppressor was involved to be particularly indicative of anything other than the fact that the shooter wanted to be harder to catch, which yeah, you would expect to be the case.

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Yep. A few hundred bucks for an inexpensive one, and a pretty good one costs in the neighborhood of a mid tier PC gaming rig. Theoretically you have to pay a tax and do some paperwork to get one, but you've already mentioned how easy they are to make.

Maybe a bunch of folks decided they'd rather hire a hitman than pay their deductibles.

I was reading about how it cost this family $100k to keep their child alive and they were paying out of pocket with gofundme because the insurance rejected them.

And I did think to myself... What can you do with that 100k to get revenge?
