Unfortunately school shooters want to hurt society

Some of them, sure, but not all of them. Some of them just want a “high score”, some of them just want to hurt somebody, some of them just want their name in the history books.

they aren’t interested in fame. They want notoriety.

It doesn’t matter what you call it. They want attention, and they’ve been shown new way to get a shit load of attention, much of it positive.

I love the description lol

There’s gonna be copycats.

Most people in this guy’s financial position would never end up screwed like he did. The resources it took to secure the weapon, the fake IDs, the travel are no small ask. Most people being crushed by the healthcare system don’t have the time and money left over for for such an elaborate murder plot.

You’re right in that the particular circumstances of this one is a fluke, but wrong in implicitly assuming that the circumstances have to be the same or similar, that the copycats will care about getting caught and therefore be locked behind a paywall.

The entire world just taught all the school shooter types that shooting a business exec will turn you into a folk hero. It will get you fame and admiration. It will get people trying to send you money for your legal defense. It will get you people spreading the word about jury nullification to use the system against itself. That’s everything they could ever want, and they only need one of the millions of guns floating around our country.

This month taught would be school shooters to instead go for board members, ceos, and billionaires. And it’s a far better lesson.

There are caveats to this. Stalking a business exec and being successful is harder. However security can’t mitigate ambushes very well. They can’t check every window in a city for rifles hanging out. They can’t shut down roads. And the bullet proof glass of their ride can’t help them once they step out to get into the hotel they have their 7am meeting at. There are limits, and a particularly motivated to get their name out there individual can always find an opening.

I was diagnosed with a life threatening chronic illness right after my 22nd birthday. I know the pain and absolute financial anchor around your neck an incurable chronic illness brings.

While I’m not in a situation like that myself, I can empathize because my fiancé has a laundry list of illnesses that leave her chronically ill as well. It’s awful, and it makes me hate the bastards running the show.

But there is time for the 1/3rd of adults who don’t vote, to fill out a piece of paper. There’s time for them to give a shit about primaries and pick candidates that care about real people.

We should absolutely still vote, especially in the primaries. But it’s a mistake to think that there is no potential for copycats.

I can’t not think of that as the sound he made while shooting the ceo.

It will be. But because it has its limits, eventually they would opt to just not fucking be dirt bags in the first place.

Would you choose to be a ceo if you knew there was a chance you’d get shot, drone bombed, poisoned, etc?

I think the lesson is to next time just not fucking go to starbucks or mcdonalds.

If you want to get away with it, basically become a homeless person for a few weeks. Carry only dense rations, raid dumpsters, stay away from people as much as possible. Use a stolen bike. Wear gloves.

He might not have gotten caught if he kept his mask on.

Such security has its limits.

The author here knows what they’re talking about, and while not explicitly saying it, they’re saying there will be more Luigi’s, Adjusters, whatever attention grabbing description you like.

More business execs will be recognized as the tyrants they are, and shot. Because the entire world just taught all the school shooter types that shooting a business exec will turn you into a folk hero. It will get you fame and admiration. It will get people trying to send you money for your legal defense. It will get you people spreading the word about jury nullification to use the system against itself.

The conditions are not improving, so it’s likely more execs will get shot.

Here is a much more in depth guide:

It’s worth reading.

Oh yes the gun

Nonsense.

It was a wake up call for execs to quit their bullshit. It was a wake up call for the working class to band together.

And there is still a very slim chance he gets acquitted/a not guilty verdict.

The conditions that caused this event haven’t gone away. And all of the school shooter types have just been taught that you will be widely regarded as a folk hero for shooting an exec, so they may opt to change their targets for the better. We will probably see more exec shooters.

That’s almost certainly going to be the only pathway forward. If his PD is worth anything (almost certainly not), they will fully utilize the public support for Luigi and hire the best legal defense team money can buy.

A ceo*

A community effort to send in handwritten checks is probably the safer bet. If his public defender is worth anything (unlikely), they’ll try to use the public support to hire a stronger legal defense team.

This hero deserves better

Sounds like red did it, not Luigi
