Serious? People are reacting with laughing emojis? Really?

On the 4th of July, American's don't celebrate that British soldiers were killed, we celebrate the society we won in the process.
You think the "shot heard round the world" didn't hit someone?
We have to start somewhere and celebrate the early battles as well as the war's outcome

News@lemmy.world deleted a spicy post from a couple days ago. The fediverse isn't immune but it definitely fares better.
I think this is as funny as the next person but realistically what will change?
Won't they just elect another scumbag and keep going?
Hard to predict.
This act broke the taboo against violence and shattered the perception of powerlessness. Turns out there is something you can do against these assholes, and it's not as unpopular an option as you might have expected.
It may inspire imitation, emboldening other pissed victims. It may scare the other CEOs into treading more carefully. It might embolden progressive politicians to challenge the status quo, now that they see how popular that can be.
Or it might end up a big ball of hot air that doesn't do anything. Like I said, hard to predict.
If all the disaffected white teens stopped shooting up schools and started shooting CEOs, it's not healthy, but they would be channeling their anger in a better direction.

Good. Let the celebration continue.
One of r/InterestingAsFuckโs rules is โNo politics,โ which a moderator for the subreddit told us is the reason it was removed.
A rule for arbitrarily deleting any post on an ill-defined idea that some topics are not political. Why even say such an unreasonable thing when you can just say supporting violence is against site-wide rules?

That is such a stupid rule, because everything is politics.

Something something and I'm tired of pretending it isn't, etc. The only thing I feel bad about is if he ~~has~~ had young children who couldn't understand he was a waste of skin, they have my sympathy.
Feel worse for the millions of children that are parentless due to his policy decisions. His kids will be FINE.
I would honestly go so far as to suggest that in the long term, not having this monster raise them (given they'll still have plenty of money) probably leaves them better off.
Don't forget the children whose siblings died due to insurance fuckery, and the parents who've lost children.

You know what's pretty neat about this?
It's not mob justice. Mob justice is when people get together and come up with bad ideas. This is an individual that the public has now rallied around.
While we only see comments from a select few number of people in this country (relative to it's size of 350m) it seems that democracy is voicing itself. I know a lot of people who were initially shocked, but then quickly came to the conclusion that FAFO is a real thing.
And health insurance companies have done a lot of fucking around.
"Mob justice" is a boogeyman invented to distract you from the fact that the cops and the state give you no justice at all.

Why contain it? S'cool.
I've been pretty impressed that the shooter has so far evaded police. I can only imagine that there have been at least one or two incidents thus far where people, be it cops or witnesses, had a clear opportunity to take actions that would lead to his immediate capture, but decided not to.
From what I know, cops often rely on the cooperation of the public to resolve crimes, but they may not be getting any on this one.
