What a beautiful article, filled with gems of quotes.

In a report this week, the institute found that of the top 10 most-engaged posts on X about the shooting on Wednesday, six “either expressed explicit or implicit support for the killing or denigrated the victim.” The dynamic is similar to the discourse that often emerges after a mass shooting on websites like 4chan and 8chan, where perpetrators of extreme violence become memes themselves, Mr. Goldenberg said, “but what’s disturbing about this is it’s mainstream.”

“It’s being framed as some opening blow in a broader class war, which is very concerning as it heightens the threat environment for similar actors to engage in similar acts of violence,” Mr. Goldenberg said.

They are trying soo hard to twist this away from what everyone knows it is and they are failing miserably.

Mr. Goldenberg said, "but what's disturbing about this is it's mainstream."

It's even more disturbing that necessary medical care being denied by insurers is mainstream, as it has been for decades.

From the MSN article

The wannabe doppelganger noted that he didn’t have to particularly dress up for the event, saying “I wear this everywhere.”

His killer looks landed him $50.

The champ said he’s had his own issues with health insurance companies covering some of his medications, although he admitted he is not a UnitedHealthcare customer.

Killer looks guys

School shootings are whatever, but this? This is really concerning!

People directing their violence at a specific target and not just senselessly killing innocents you say? Impossible, unacceptable, how could they?

If the opening blows of a broader class war are very concerning to you, I guess you're on the wrong side.
