Us middle aged fucks do too.
And so do some of the older fucks. Even my dad, a literal boomer, said that it wasn’t like he killed someone useful.
This Brian guy was pure evil. Why the heck is anyone other than other evil CEOs sympathizing with him?
brain damage? unfortunately it’s not covered under their healthcare plan.
An entire generation plus of lead poisoning.
Maybe because the same people who are asking for sympathy now, are the people who hide their sympathy behind “it’s business” when it’s the other way round.
Sympathy has to be earned.
Yeah I remember seeing estimates where someone said 51,000 people were denied life saving care during his time as CEO. If there was no sympathy for their lives, why would people be sympathetic for his?
Also when someone told me they shouldnt have shot him, they should have just punched him or something I asked if it should be 1 punch for all 51,000 lives… Because I have a feeling that 2 weeks later (a little over 14 hours I have been informed) when he’s done getting punched once per second I don’t think there would be much left of his corpse. The bullet is more “humane”
Agreed, plainly stated Brian Thompson was a mass murder protected by the system. IMHO, Luigi is simply an insurance adjuster.
Well yeah, it’s natural to side with the person who stopped a killer.
Turns out, the only person who can stop a bad guy with a corporation is a good guy with a gun.
Gun owners - 100,000,000 cowards and one hero lol
idk, John Brown was pretty cool.
Dunno who that is but I’m guessing he croaked
just wondering how someone lives to adulthood without knowing about the absolute gigachad that John Brown was…
But if I searched, then typed the reply, it would unarguably take longer, no?
Stopped a mass murderer, even.
You know, this is the part that really drives me nuts about this whole thing. A murderer murdered a murderer.
Murderer A, he’s taken care of. The judicial system will put him in front of a jury, he will be tried. He will be found innocent or guilty. The system handles murderer A.
Murderer B on the other hand, just screw the laws of humans for a moment, the laws of physics say that he shouldn’t be murdering any more after death, but nope. People are still dying. You would think this is where the system would kick in and start putting a stop to it but nope, corporation is still killing. Hell the meeting murderer B was headed to didn’t even get delayed.
There’s no law of physics that says people will stop dying just because the person who caused them to die was killed. Thomas Midgely Jr. died in 1944, he’s still killing people. The wheels he put in motion still haven’t come to a stop.
(he invented Tetra-ethyl lead and CFCs, he’s at least slightly damaged every living thing on the planet for a century)
I feel like his death was some kind of cosmic justice.
I don’t believe in any kind of higher power, but he was crippled by his inventions, which caused him to design an elaborate cable system so he could zip line around his house instead of using a wheel chair.
He got his neck caught in his zipline contraption and strangled himself getting out of bed.
Not exactly justice for the billions of lines he’s negatively affected, but it is kind of funny that he kept inventing stuff that killed people, and he was in turn killed by his last invention.
There’s this hilarious line in his Wikpedia entry:
Bill Bryson remarked that Midgley possessed “an instinct for the regrettable that was almost uncanny”.
I think you mean ,Luigi corp LLC, can’t hold the company director liable for something out of his hands.
Actually, the victim is not the one that was shot.
Victims*
No, they very much sympathize with brian thompson’s millions of victims, too.
You really can’t be surprised by this
You can, strictly speaking. Many mistakes are available.
Most of the population doesnt relate to some 1% fuck committing mass social murder? Strange, we’ll have to work overtime to uncover why this is.
Strange, we’ll have to work overtime to uncover why this is.
Unpaid, the comp is personal growth
I need to live in a universe where I dont understand what you just said.
First time I’ve had some faith in humanity in a while.
There was no victim in this shooting
What do you mean? Luigi is victim of capitalism here.
True
We need a more accurate term for him than “victim”.
target
The UHC customers his policies helped fuck over are the victims.
Gee I wonder why!
Boomers in shambles?
Old news atp
