- finally, mpreg mafia
Savannah Sparks, who has 1.3 million followers [...] added that, rather than sleuthing, her community has “concepts of thoughts and prayers. It’s, you know, claim denied on my prayers there,”
In a statement, Thompson’s family said he was “an incredibly loving father” to two sons and “will be greatly missed.”
He wasn't missed by one person.
- Easy to be loving to your inner circle when you have millions provided by killing other people's kids.
How long you think until the next revolutionary killing inspired by this one?
- People get killed everyday. I don't condone it but I'm also not gonna act like I got the moral high ground and lecture. Now these companies are gonna take measures to protect themselves and their family. But all it takes is one really motivated individual with nothing more to loose.
  
  I’m glad my job doesn't make me wonder if someone might try to kill me because of it.
  
  Lose.
  
  Too bad this society made hundreds of millions of people with nothing to lose. It's a shame, really.
  
  To paraphrase the IRA:
  We got lucky today. Thing is we can be unlucky most days. They have to be lucky every day.
  
  *Lose
  
  I mean, they already hire corporate security, just slightly more frequently for now. But the expense won't remain as justified as the memory of the killing fades.
- I hope before EOY. Keeping them close together will really stoke fear into them.
The Network Contagion Research Institute studies the spread of hostile ideological content. From an article linked in this article:
“We’ve identified highly engaged posts circulating the names of other healthcare CEOs and others celebrating the shooter," he said. "The framing of this incident as some opening blow in a class war and not a brutal murder is especially alarming.”
- The framing of this incident as some opening blow in a class war is reflective of the feelings of the working class for some time now.
  Here's a neat graph
  The fact that we're only just now getting heads rolling is honestly surprising
- Alarming if you know you'd be in the firing line, in which case you have plenty of money with which to retire and do something good instead. The choice is yours.
- it's only a class war if they start fighting back and they're fucking outnumbered
  
  They have always been fighting, we are the ones who need to be fighting back. And looks like maybe someone just did (except if the killer is a contract killer hired by another rich waste of space).
Oh I see. It's the America equivalent of a UK person upon seeing a shoplifter going "I didn't see nothing officer".
- Took us long enough. We're clearly a bunch of wankers.
- I have it on good authority that someone matching his description got on a boat and sailed for the south pacific.
  
  I hope this becomes the opposite of the Brock turner meme where we don't use their name even if they get caught.
"tl;dr rather help find targets"
Hey you guys seem good at solving things, could you help us with this?
Tiktok sleuths: Nope, Fuck him!
Good. The CEO was making the world worse. I hope the shooter is never caught. And if they are, I hope the jury nullifies.
Good. Now, on to the next target.
Oh no! Not the top internet sleuths! :O
