    What’s the point of second amendment rights and claiming it’s for second amendment solutions then being surprised about this.

    The response of the internet should be a wake us call to the billionaires of the world. The kindling for revolution has piled up and it is only a matter of time before they all end on its pyre.

    I don’t expect things to go shift like they did during the Guilded Age. That was the aberration. Historically it has not been as nearly as bloodless. And today the people are armed in a way they never have been before. Ironically it’s the political party of the billionaires that has supported their arming.

    Their hubris will be their downfall. Whether it be this moment or another. The number of people with little to live for does not the benefit the wealthy.

      What are the odds the US government will label killing CEOs an act of terrorism and use that as an excuse to crack down on anyone publicly supporting acts like this? This all reminds me of Radicalized by Cory Doctorow.

        That seems like something someone might try but I could see how that might solidify it into movement and extend awareness of the cause. It would definitely lead to people using code words and phrases.

        It’s also not clear how that would world, it’s not like they arrest people for saying, “Death to America”
