    You can’t have CEO murder without a CEO. It takes two to tango, as they say. You saw what his AI denial system was doing, and walking down the street alone at that time of day. I’m not saying he was asking for it, but he could have taken reasonable precautions likenot making sociopathic business decisions.

    Besides, if it’s a legitimate assassination the Executive Suite has ways to try and shut that whole thing down using ethics. But let’s assume maybe that didn’t work or something in this case. I think there should be some sort of punishment, but the punishment should be on the unregulated inhuman greed our healthcare system has become.

      Did you see what he was wearing? You can’t just walk around dressed like a CEO and expect not to get shot. Nobody dresses like that unless they want attention from assassins.

        How do the cops phrase it when they talk about black people they randomly accidentally murder?

        “Authorities say the suspect, one Brian Thompson, was not currently under indictments for murder or fraud, and it is not known when or if he stopped beating his wife or engaged in gangbanging and drug distribution. They stress that the suspect is not currently known to be a pedophile, and that he is innocent untill proven guilty.”

      If we can harp on women for deserving to be raped based on their attire we can totally harp on CEOs deserving to get murdered based on their sociopathic behavior.

      My guess is a coin toss between peoples whos mental process went “murder bad, end process” or people who would happily take a turn driving the orphan crushing machine.

      In either case, morons… Nuanced opinions are allowed, and that seems where the majority has landed, if they are a bit inconsistent.

        or people who would happily are totally due to take a turn driving the orphan crushing machine.

        (It’s not like a population would work poverty wages for decades if there weren’t a decent chance of driving a little orphan crushing)

      I’ve been seeing op-ed’s where people are trying to make the mainstream media being at fault for villainizing anything and everything about America. So some people have probably gotten hooked by that

    Nice, maybe they’ll do some single payer USA before there’s another attack.

    The other 30% don’t know but think it definitely wasn’t Luigi since they were with him that night.

    And only 14% think it had no influence. Given that group is going to contain the folk who think all deaths are god’s will or that the universe is acausal that isn’t too bad. Could be lower, but not bad.
