How hated must you be when suddenly leftists, tankies, fascists, conservatives and liberals find themselves in quiet agreement about their feelings on your murder. Even the silence from gun control advocates is deafening.

To be fair, this isn’t really a “gun control” type situation. A single, targeted, killing, would have been just a successful if it were done with a knife instead. The gun control arguments are more applicable to spree killings.

I mean, the guy would have been able to write their whole message on one knife rather than needing three bullet casings to get it across.

So I guess environmentalists and the metal industry (Big Metal?) would probably care a bit?

Absolutely not. We simply have to deal with those killing sprees and just feel bad when it happens because the alternative is the state doing the killing sprees and nobody having any answer.

That’s why the ruling class pushes all the wedge issues and divisiveness they do. If we could talk to each other, we’d find we had more in common than otherwise expected. I thought the recent surge in union activity could have continued to a general strike across the nation. The rich know what unites us and actively seems to keep us fractured so we don’t realize our combined power.

Maybe this dude will be a catalyst in a revolution that sets these disgusting, wealthy leeches in their place.

Eh, going off solo and only taking out a single target is not exactly a wave of citizens applying their rights.

Now, if this solo guy keeps going and only targets similar people, then we’ve got a solid case that the goal is actually to fight tyranny and exert the will of the people.

One CEO down is murder. A hundred is a movement. All of them is revolution.

I mean fuck it. Reddit banned me for endorsing violence with a tongue in cheek comment that really didn’t endorse shit despite how I made and grew one of the most famous subreddits.

Those fuckers banned me for “inciting violence” when I made a joke about melting guns down into bullets, and “glorifying violence” when I said I think it’s funny when conservatives die from drinking listeria milk.

I’m with you. I’m glorifying this violence, and I hope the gunman never gets caught. If he does, catch me donating to his defense fund.

I think they’re talking about Cruella, a movie where the “heroine” would eventually go on to want to kill and skin puppies. There’s also Maleficent, but I don’t know enough about that one to comment.

I also think there’s a lot of Hollywood heroes that are really villains and the movie is just reflecting the author’s fucked up world view. The Kingsman is a good example. Can we stop writing environmentalists as villains?

In a lot of stories, due process isn’t something that comes up because of time constants and scope of the villain’s ambitions, but there’s something wrong in the writer’s room for The Flash TV series. Agents of Shield would eventually deal with super nazis and alien invaders, but Flash was dealing with bank robbers and locking them up in their secret prison.
