Watching the internet erupt in glee after the assassination of that corn-fed health insurance CEO in Midtown Manhattan really drove home how much anger and hatred there is towards the shitty corporate extraction culture that powers this country.
Hat tip to your (former colleague?) Mark Ames I Going Postal. I still remember the quote from survivor “Ralph was not a bad guy he just shot the wrong person” referring to the bad boss
Someone at NYPD has claimed that an uncommon $3,000 modern "clone" of a VERY rare WWII era assassin's silenced pistol was used? I don't think so. Nothing released about the event makes any sense to me (a gun guy since forever) but the schadenfreude is real enough.
I didn't see the required "twisting" motion on open & close, also 3 fired cases PLUS 3 ejected but unfired rounds found? Not a Welrod bolt action clone, a malfunctioning semi auto failing to fully chamber rounds from firing impulse, successfully chambering from manual slide cycling, every other round was ejected while clearing the malfunctions from self loading. Cops (as usual) are not well informed.
The response to the Assination remained me of a few years ago when orcs were attacking yachts and everyone started celebrating as if the orcs were doing it because of class consciousness. Much of it reeks of desperation
Every since Columbine I've wondered this. As a middle schooler I was terrified of school. Mark's 'Going Postal' book made me think about it more. Shooters always go after the "other" around them. Consumed with individualism or something. Rarely do they attack actual predators.
nypost readers overwhelmingly supportive of the hit.

The video shows gunman racking slide by grabbing FORWARD part of it 2X which is not possible with this pistol (see video)

I'll admit it. I hope they know how we felt working at Taco Bell on 29th. It was so dangerous
Doesn't matter what the motives are. The hatred it surfaced is what begs the question.
obviously everyone is rooting for a vengeance kill.
we'll find out soon enough I think. lots of people have guns in this country and know how to use them.
for sure people will go back to life in a few days. nothing will change. people angry but unmotivated and very scatterbrained.
