Is shooting one person a mass shooting?
I wouldn't think I'd need to explain this to you, as a once "very important person".
But some people are simply worth more than others. They are better, you see.
There exists a hierarchy of individuals in which some individuals have more inherent value than other individuals, a ranking if you will.
Upholding the hierarchy is akin to upholding the laws of nature, and acting against the hierarchy is akin to breaking the laws of nature and is, by definition, evil.
It is clearly mental illness to consider yourself equal to your betters, and I'd advise everyone to seek aid if they feel the need to flatten any hierarchies.
I did card check for public sector employees, raised the minimum wage, and tried to sell a senate seat. I do not recognize the laws of the richest Americans, which is how I became a political prisoner and developed a relationship with Donald Trump.
Well said. This is why I always ask what people do for a living after asking for their name to determine if it is worth my time to engage in interaction with them.
P.S. I never remember their name. I always remember their profession. Janitor? NEXT
in this case it was a center mass shooting
This made me nod like Zak galafanakis on the bus. Well done.
They're trying to insist he has mass shooter vibes and they're furious he doesn't have the chudjak look
nobody's buying the incel angle, he just doesn't fit the bill
Governor:
Nice interview with that chapo boy, Felix
Keep up the crimes. Good job. You're always the real governor in my heart
Words don't mean anything
So now do we see how this CEO is being treated as more than a single life?
(Most of the questions I ask on this sub are directed towards people who will never see them lmao)
Well there' all the other CEOs who have had to take their linked in profiles down and think twice before going to sxbx. That's basically social death--- well, social disease. And if you add all those illnesses up, and use stats, it's about 3 deaths in total distributed across all of them.
So you see he is a mass assassinator.
The CEO was a mass murderer. By Highlander rules
absorbs all the past Quickening of other people's lives that Brian Thompson was responsible for making The Adjustor a mass murderer vicariously.
Imagine we get copycats purely from how hot he is, lmao.

they call it a mass shooting because they consider the CEO to be worth the lives of thousands of proles
Makes sense. After all, he works 1000x as much as the lazy ungrateful employees on the floor, as reflected by his salary. Luigi basically did a little 9/11.
I always see the death of journalists as a great tragedy and injustice when they're targeted in the name of imperial interests. But man, American journalists need a goddamn purge.
they are content creators posing as journalists
They're propagandists. Journalism and propaganda are intrinsically tied, and western journalists are responsible for poisoning the minds of entire populations.
Jesus christ, that "lingo" they use. So insufferable.
clinton cargill's peabrain mentions mass shooters twice, as if this wasnt an ultra-targeted murder. truly the dumbest people on earth
Death to America
Team, please dial down the commentary on our clients denying claims for arbitrary reasons. Rate of profit tends to decline etc
Happy to discuss
Not to be overly technical but small correction: our clients are the shareholders and they're not the ones denying claims. Its a small meaningless distinction but wanted to make sure were being totally clear for the new folks :)
so they'll plaster white school shooters mugshots all over their 24/7 coverage but when its an ALLEGED ceo shooter they pull out the @Civility@hexbear.net card. ofc this lolbertarian is an incoherent loser but the reality inventing is so obvious lol
I hate it when you can physically FEEL the reality invention happening in real time
I was gonna doubt this, but Ken never misses with the hot leaks. He's really been on MSM's ass about this situation too. Basically calling them out for the corporate shills we always knew they were. He was making the ultra libs rage post over on liberal twitter (bluesky) during the whole "manhunt" timeline. Quotes because the cops 1000% failed to hunt a man... some boomer at McDonald's who watches too much CNN/Fox News ratted his ass out.
Imagine being some crime-obsessed boomer drooling for 60 years waiting to call the cops on some "FBI most wanted" style criminal. You're standing in line, sipping your free boomer coffee (real thing btw), and glance over to see a handsome, vaguely-ethnic fellow with furry caterpillars over his eyes. You snitch his ass out, cops come and give you the least enthusiastic "thanks, dumb ass." of all time, and haul the guy off mid-hashbrown.
Fast forward to Christmas Day with your grandkids visiting. You tell your ungrateful shit grandkids who never call or visit that you were the one who caught the killer! You see your kid, their parent, look around nervously right before the grandkid says "Oh wow, grandpa! But Dad said that bad man deserved it. Right, Dad?"
Crimestopper Grandpa's monkey's paw
I mean, cat's out of the bag already
I really do think they never expected someone like Brian Thompson to get clapped and it's breaking their brains to an extent
Gotta point out the contradictions where they appear and ensure that people see the system laid bare
Preferential treatment for the rich, even the dead ones
feckless losers the lot of them
Oh hey look, a behind the scenes tour at the consent factory. Neat!
"Stop publishing the face picture so people maybe we won't notice that his unibrow doesn't match the shooter's clearly defined and separated eyebrows." Not convinced that he is claiming credit for / being blamed for someone else's actions.
I was mulling over the idea of this case vs mass shooter today while running errands.
There is only 1x target so definitionally it can't be "mass".
To my mind it is somewhat of a puzzle, why he would do this, and only go for 1x target. Since he seems to have had no cover story or way to get out of it. Why not just go to speech this guy was supposed to give and find a few more viable targets? Surely if you are willing to go this far with no escape plan... I guess it depends on what this guy's precise motivations were.
He also didn't have any kind of "suicide by cop" thing going on, which the mass shooters love because it removes them from any kind of accountability. Eventually we'll learn if he thought he'd get away with it. Mass shooters never think they're gonna get away with it.
They are shook
Well I don't think they should be plastering his face everywhere anyway, since he's not been found guilty.
Mental health questions, shocking crime, manifesto, etc., etc.
That etc., etc. is doing a comical amount of legwork huh?
American "journalists" always finding new ways of keeping more information from the grabby, clammy hands of the public. Very important work! I'm glad these uniquely virtuous and sagely oracles are handed the responsibility of dialing it back (it being giving the public relevant information on current events)
Look forward to the next images:
Chatgpt, give me a photo of a man in shadows playing with bleach bottles and IEDs and make it look like those are necessary components of a making a 3D-printed pistol.
his profile matches one of a mass shooter... the news value and public service of showing his face is diminishing
As if they don't plaster ever mass shooter's face all over the front page??
He shot 1 person. By definition that is NOT a mass shooter
