“I’d like to give you a little bit of advice around the media…My strong advice and request to everybody is just don’t engage with the media. If you’re approached, I would recommend not responding and, if necessary, simply refer them to our own media organization.”

They’re spiraling, they dont know how to do damage control and are afraid this will spawn copycats. It should. If you want to be a dragon, dont complain when knights show up to slay you.

I have a feeling that this might be pushing any new shooters to start going after the rich. They end up being treated like hero’s and their names stick around. After all most just wanted the recognition.

Ugh fuck… if we see the same demographic shift, and those numbers finally stopping, are we supposed to celebrate this? Wtf are y’all teaching your kids about this? I teach mine that in spite of daddy’s successful career in capitalism, the wealthy are a whole other thing who want to take our shit, beat us down, and virtually enslave us, and one day the masses may get angry and eat the rich. I also teach violence is absolutely never okay except to survive or protect, and we never start fights but we always make sure to end them. So now it’s happening… Wtf do I say to him? I’m honestly asking for advice… clearly from my comment history today, I’m finally reading the social media here and processing…

I’ve never in my entire life wanted something more than to see copycats going after the C-Suite of places that put profits over people, especially when they’re running a company that should not exist. Because then maybe… politicians will finally get some meaningful reforms. Because they sure as hell don’t care about dead kids. Thoughts and prayers!!!

That’s actually how it’s supposed to work. You don’t talk and you refer question askers to PR, HR, and lawyers. I’ve always been instructed this for any organization I worked for.

I worked in preclinical drug development and then another was marketing for child care. It was kind of the norm for everything, not just crisis.

I don’t remember the story well enough, but we may have to re-write the story of Sir Gawain and the Black Knight after this.

Wait I thought it was Gawain and the Green Knight, or is Gawain just an unlucky bastard.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
