Hitler dies

This is not the time to offer your criticisms of the Nazi party

The natural human reaction to all of this is to first be horrified that a husband and father of two children was murdered.

This is just bad faith

I had never heard of Brian Thompson before today, and it’s entirely possible that he made some bad decisions. It is not possible that he deserved to be murdered, because nobody deserves to be murdered. And the level of seething resentment some people seem to have of wealthy people is deeply unhealthy. Socialism is always motivated by envy and often brought about by violence. If there is some kind of organized effort to target CEOs with violence to win applause from the public, that ought to fail because the American public would be repulsed by it. All of us need to be repulsed by this murder. Basic human decency and a commitment to a free society demand it.

It's amazing that they can say ghoulish shit like this and then wonder why people applaud their deaths.

People aren't jealous of the wealthy, they rightfully celebrate their deaths because Health Insurance companies are responsible for the deaths of millions

The more rich monsters like this pretend otherwise, the more resentment will boil. Not because of bitterness or envy, but because of logical self-preservation instinct.

Any number of other people could have been caught up in it.

This was not random violence

Pick one.

nobody should ever be killed ever, but especially not rich people because they never commit atrocities and the dirty poors are just jealous of our cool lifestyles

I want to spit in this man's face

"The dude had a point"

There appears to be some confusion about this online, so here it is plain and simple: Murdering corporate executives is evil.

"Beheading monarchs is irredeemably evil" - some bootlicker during the french revolution, probably.

Look, we all know murdering CEOs is evil.

What my take presupposes is: what if it isn't?

It is not possible that he deserved to be murdered, because nobody deserves to be murdered.

Surely this man has condemned Israel's string of assassinations (and the genocide)

Can you imagine if this guy went on to just start shooting CEOs across industries and vanish without a trace…the hero we truly need right now

Really fosters the revolutionary spirit, knowing how people would respond to a revolutionary act

I hope someone shoots this guy next

Then someone can write an article about how murdering National Review writers is evil

This was not random violence by a disturbed individual or street crime in an unsafe neighborhood. This was a targeted hit that someone had to pay for and plan in the center of one of the world’s most vital business districts.

"This wasn't some lowly poor person or someone in a less deserving country. This was here in the rich part of the US!!!!"

God fucking dammit, who the fuck even writes that

we have to peacefully debate the people who operate for-profit death panels

Counterpoint: STFU, nerd

This reads like it was cranked out by an AI auto writer

Tldr:

it's a tragedy that a man died on this day, especially a CEO. But he was no angel, we have to remember that

oops, only class consciousness

Curious to hear LinkedIn’s take

Just kidding, I know it and we all know it.

There were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.

kind of a learning lesson for me, made a comment about it and clearly made someone uncomfortable. Most people in my life at least take the author’s side

sigh guess I have to keep my thoughts about this contained to hexbear 😔
