No, there was a lot more that came of this (unless you're specifically referencing the snitching part).
And I'm sure there's more.
Maybe the “let me fuck shit up and shoot up my high-school” crowd doesn’t really care about being remembered as heroes but what would I know.
Some of them don't care about being remembered or how they're remembered.
But some of them very much do:

or if you conceal your murder(s) with a thin veil of legality!
Interesting work of fiction.
He's not wrong that people don't mind murder if it's the right people, though.
I never even thought of that. No more Columbines? Just more Luigis?
Based universe!
I wouldn't go so far to say that there won't be any more school shootings. A school shootings is comparatively easy. Their locations are static, publicly available. There are many potential victims, and so on.
With that said, some may opt for the slightly higher difficulty of biz execs for the reasons I've listed.
It might even unify some voters across party lines
I think that user above you was implying more should be done about the McDonalds, which is pretty ironic given the context.
Is his martydom trending on “common” social media like TikTok, YT, Facebook, Discord, big podcasts and such?
Lemmy (and even Twitter and Reddit) are rather niche and not necessarily reaching the larger public, aka this pool of working class folk.
I can't speak for all of them, but I can explain the vibes:
I can't speak to the rest.
One of the Hoi4 mod servers im on is actively debating making an agent portrait of him. The debate is about historical accuracy not morality.
Lmao
It definitely seems to be yeah, given the number of reposted tiktoks I've seen, and the facebook unitedhealthgroup laughing emoji ratio, and all the videos that corporate media are clutching their pearls over. There are tons of comments in Ben Shapiro's videos on the subject that are cheering on the death of a CEO, despite his attempt to paint this as only the "violent left". When Ben Shapiro's viewers disagree with him you know the feeling is widespread lol.
Very interesting.
And some of the “small” news outlets in my feed are starting to sympathetically acknowledge it as well.
