Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Is shooting one person a mass shooting?

[–] AnarchoSnowPlow@midwest.social 80 points 1 week ago (4 children)

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.

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)

[–] glans@hexbear.net 47 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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.

Funny comparing it to a mass shooting when he specifically chose a gun instead of a bomb so he could avoid innocent casualties.

they call it a mass shooting because they consider the CEO to be worth the lives of thousands of proles

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.

[–] Jabril@hexbear.net 61 points 1 week ago (1 children)

they are content creators posing as journalists

[–] OrionsMask@hexbear.net 65 points 1 week ago (2 children)

They're propagandists. Journalism and propaganda are intrinsically tied, and western journalists are responsible for poisoning the minds of entire populations.

[–] Zetta@mander.xyz 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (23 children)

"western journalists are responsible for poisoning the minds of entire populations." While I generally agree with you it's awfully hexbear of you to single out "western" instead of generally all.

I'm sure the "journalists" in Russia are doing just as much to poison the minds of their citizens.

Edit: Didn't even realize this is in the Hexbear community lol, I shouldn't of spoken out of turn I'm sorry. Please don't shun me

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?"

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

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.

[–] Sulvor@hexbear.net 34 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I know this is just speculation but I feel like he spent a long time building up to and planning this, got out of the city and kinda just didn’t know what to do next?

Not sure if he wanted to be caught, but keeping the weapon, IDs, and manifesto with him definitely point to that
