It hasn’t even been 24 hours yet

Nonsense.

It was a wake up call for execs to quit their bullshit. It was a wake up call for the working class to band together.

And there is still a very slim chance he gets acquitted.

The conditions that caused this event haven't gone away. And all of the school shooter types have just been taught that you will be widely regarded as a folk hero for shooting an exec, so they may opt to change their targets for the better. We will probably see more exec shooters.

Less dead children, more dead asshole? Might even reduce therapy cost for parent.

Win win win

And a dead CEO. Take your wins where you can, it's almost fascist season.

Hottest on record, I hear!

This meme is astroturf propaganda to try to discourage the working class. There are plenty of stories of insurance companies reversing their decisions and approving procedures that they had denied the day before, or not going through with plans to reduce coverage.

That is what happens when the 1% are reminded that they are outnumbered 99 times, and that those with nothing to lose have nothing to fear.

Yep. This never depended one the efforts of one person. It’s going to take all of us working together, and filling in where we’re needed to do our part.

You really think this is over? Columbine was a shocking, once in a lifetime event when I was in middle school. By the time I was in college, school shootings were a fact of life. The only difference is that people weren't rooting for school shooters. They may have caught this guy, but a new era of gun violence is just getting started.

Let's watch how hard gun control gets pushed when the barrels are aimed at the puppet masters.

Fellow lefties: If it's safe for you to do so, acquire, train, and responsibly store. That is all.

[–] GhiLA@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Let's watch just how nice conservatives are to their reps when someone puts gun control on them.

I've kinda always wanted to see it.

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I mean, someone literally drove up to one of their softball games and tried to kill them all, and they still didn't support gun control. It won't be until the majority of their billionaire oligarchics tell them it's OK that they'll start supporting it.

[–] Mnemnosyne@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 month ago

That guy failed. It makes a big difference when they actually get killed.

Sure, Congress will act, but the Supreme Court has spent the last 15 years making sure that even the most moderate, milquetoast gun reforms get struck down. I know the current Justices are hypocrites that make a mockery of precedent, but considering they're the ones that created the precedent (particularly Alito, Roberts, and Thomas), it's going to be hard for Congress to write a gun control law that doesn't force several Justices to either strike it down or invalidated their own opinions.

A constitutional amendment isn't impossible, but I think the NRA would still have enough juice to prevent Congress from reaching a two-thirds consensus, and definitely enough to stop three-quarters of states from ratifying it. The billionaire class has spent a lot of money making gun control extremely difficult, and I think that's about to bite them in the ass.

The only way they'll get rid of most of the guns is by searching property to property. Many won't comply with unconstitutional bans. And they don't have the agreement to change the constitution about this. Too fucking bad, the working class will remain armed. I wish ammo hadn't gotten so expensive though.

Jesus, we have genocidal anime girls now?

[–] whoknewr@lemmy.today 0 points 1 month ago

Implying we didn't have them before

[–] comfy@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't think Lemmy is the right place for sharing the anti-semetic Happy Merchant caricature.

[–] schizolol9@lemy.lol 0 points 1 month ago
