Goddamn hero
Not a hero, his action took from others. He could have been part of a unionization effort, instead he chose violence and harmed his peers. This isn’t the win you think it is and nothing good will come of it. Some of you need to grow the hell up.
Oh, shut the fuck up.
I'm sorry... But fuck you. You need to grow up, you tool.
His actions took from others who took from us. The profits from that inventory were going to to a tiny slice of humanity that didn't earn it, don't deserve it, and would take more if they could. They could have avoided all of it by taking less profit at the top, and spreading it among those who actually did the work and earned it, but the only consideration was how to take even more from the workers. They already took so much that it inspired one of their workers to burn it all down.
He didn't kill anyone, at least nobody innocent, he just burned their MONEY. That's what hurts them the most.
Reform or revolution.

Read a book and grow the hell up you capitalist sympathizer. (We are way past the point of no return when it comes to reform)
I agree with you. But there is definitely a better way to communicate this. I tried to do my best in an above comment.
People don't like having the air pulled out from the feeling of justice these types of "deeds" result in. This type of adventurism is not something that results in progress. I agree.
But, it is an opportunity to use that feeling as a means of propaganda for what actually does work. We all feel the frustration and rage that led to this act. Instead of taking the gas out of that feeling by focusing on criticism, it's better to just redirect that feeling towards things that actually work.
This country has a history of militant labor unions seizing warehouses until demands are met. If people are angry enough to cheer on a warehouse being burnt down they should be open to ideas like that.
They either say "fuck yeah" or they are forced to recognize their own fear and apathy that causes them to cheer on this type of adventurism but remaining inactive themselves. "Hmmm, I'm not gonna go burn down a warehouse and hope other people do. What are other actual options beyond the useless political system we have?"
Sometimes the best way to communicate these things is to just acknowledge and communicate to the alienation people feel and directing it to the right resources.
No one reading this is gonna go burn down a warehouse; but they might unionize their workplace. They might go join socialist organizations.
Exactly
Just leave us alone
I dooooooo love fire…..
This, the health care CEO death, organized shoplifting raids, corporate vandalism, attacks on CEO houses and HQs, etc, are all examples of the Free Market at work.
That health care CEO's policies became so restrictive and unfair that they eventually spawned a customer so angry he corrected the problem. As a result, that dead CEOs company eased their restrictions, and so did all the other companies. That is a textbook example of Free Market forces at work.
Don't pay your people enough, maybe they burn your entire inventory. Eventually, when that stops working, the Free Market corrections will get worse.
Remember, always take out the body guards first.

they corrected the problem. We still have no idea who that anonymous hero was. All we know is it wasn’t Luigi, as he was playing Mario Kart with me across the country at the time. I remember it distinctly because he doesn’t play the character you’d think he would.
Valid. SOMEBODY corrected the problem.
We just need a lot more somebody’s because United simply plugged in another “somebody” to replace the dude, same as Turning Point. It’s like there’s an endless supply of nobodies to fill seats. Which should tell the people filling the seats how unremarkable and meaningless their lives are; your work and achievements have no value in themselves, you’re easily replaceable, and your “funeral” won’t be a celebration or memorial of you as an individual but a launch party for whoever comes next.
This is how stupid greed is. They could have done anything they wanted if they just kept up anything remotely like New Deal policy.
But no. Greed is so fucking stupid, it can't understand a limit to itself.
When Trump is the figurehead of our country, greed is mainstream.
Selfishness, mainstream.
Duplicitious behavior? Mainstream.
Pedophilia? Mainstream and apparently we're supposed to accept that.
