did he kept the same scarf?

    Regardless of his personal politics, he did a good thing (assuming this even is the assassin)

    Adventurism won’t get us far though. One dead corporate ghoul won’t do much; we need an organized party.

      The guy is from wealth. His family wouldn’t even notice paying their own lawyers. Seems strange

      The owners are trying to stop us from being able to.

      GoFundMe, a for profit organization, took down an attempt to raise money for him.

      He killed an owner, after all! Not some poorie livestock!

        Counterpoint: how would you ensure each go fund me actually goes to this guy’s defense and not some random scammer? Apparently his family is wealthy. I’m assuming all those go fund me pages are “unofficial” and not associated with him.

        Honestly as much as I dislike crypto, this is the one time where it could actually come in clutch. Big corporates can’t stop people from wiring bitcoin to an address.

          True, but how would you organise that? There are plenty of scummy crypo-bros who would be more than willing to use this to line their wallet.

          I’ve always said crypto isn’t completely useless, it should just be what it was always meant to be and no more:

          A currency to buy drugs anonymously on the darknet.

          Could have just stopped at OG bitcoin for that. All the rest is idiocy. It’s good for that niche, and nothing else.

            Is he repped yet? If not and anyone knows how to get in touch with his people please contact me. I have a line on a few free attorneys that take cases of this magnitude.

              He comes from a decently wealthy family, I’m sure they have a guy unless they disown him. Looks like nobody had heard from him in awhile.

      Is “legal aid” the codename for the field-expedient MRAPs we build and man to spring him from prison? If so then yes.

    This doesn’t look like your average mugshot. 1) It’s not taken in a police station, 2) I think people aren’t allowed to have scarf’s in mugshots, 3) It’s a photo of a computer screen

    I’m kinda sick & tired of this story already, because it’s become a media spectacle that takes our eye off the ball: US private health insurance, US healthcare in general, and capitalism.

      People are injured and killed by gun violence in the U.S. every day, and it barely makes the news because we’ve become numb to it and politicians fail to act. What makes this case any different?

      On the other hand, it reminds everybody how much they hate the US health insurance system. And I mean everybody.

        That guy don’t give a fuck about what we care about.

        He just wanted to slip his brain dead agenda on the communist theory every where it doesn’t belong.

        He appears salty that a related revolutionary entered the scene and made his cosplay look pathetic.

      100% Killing one pos CEO doesn’t fix the problem. Large company’s are already talking about beefing up security for their ceos. Like will it even matter?

        No, it doesn’t, but it’s been something that has brought people from across the political spectrum together. Even Ben Shapiro’s fans called him out on trying to drum this up as a “radical Left bad” issue.

        If there’s an upside it’s that it focuses people’s attention on the class struggle we’re all part of, whether we want to be or not. Some people will be realizing this for the first time; others will be experiencing a feeling of working class solidarity for the first time; and for others it will be a focal point in conversations that can raise people’s consciousness of what’s going on.

      How much were people talking about those issues before all of this? There were whispers, but no concerted dialogue. Now is our chance to have one. Don’t waste it.

    There is a lot of reaching in these comments saying it’s not this guy and acting like he’s a idolized hero. He has the gun, the clothes, the eye brows, facial features, his movements were tracked, manifesto like come on. He made a ton of mistakes along the way. Accept it. Its LIKELY he got caught. I’ll probably get downvoted but oh well. Live in reality people. It seems a lot online sadly do not.

    There’s even people in posts talking about how to do better and advice and tips. What the actual fuck lol. Lemmy seems like the new 4chan sometimes. Undoubtedly monitored like all online platforms. People are either arm chair generals or idiots for talking on the internet.

      Oh my friend, you’re here trying to lecture the internet and ignoring the lulz. IMO life is too stressful for that approach, but you do you. … by the way, 1A protects nearly all speech. There are limits, but general advice and tips are nowhere near the edge of acceptability.
