Come on y'all. Stop it.

Yeah, wouldn't surprise me if the guy got evicted by them or something like that.

Wait there's a company called "Blackstone" as well as one called "Blackrock", and both buy up real estate?

Oh thank God. I thought it was the Blackstone that makes grill tops. I kept wondering what they did wrong.

It may have been an incidental killing, but her loss will not be mourned by the general public, as she and her efforts are actually a direct and major contributor to the housing crisis we now face. The policies that she enacted are overly hostile towards… you know… literally every fucking normal person who aspires to own a house at some point. She materially contributed to the insane housing price bubble that’s somehow still not popping.

I swear, if there is a higher power, it just woke the fuck up

Oh damn. I didn't see this before. No wonder my last comment got downvoted so much lol.

I didn't see that earlier. I think the news hadn't mentioned this until much later. I understand why my other comment was downvoted so much.

doesnt deservered to be murdered, but no ones going to cry over a POS

Silly goose. They’ll just hire more private security.

Well, maybe let a few more of them get caught up before we make those changes.

nah they pretty directly created it.

virtually every mass shooting is blood on the hands of our ruling class. when they refuse to correct it, rather than being unable to, it becomes apparent what they value more - people or profits?

Eh.. society started it

It really depends on what message you're trying to send. If you're trying to say "executive officers are fair game", it has to be targeted at executives.

If you're trying to say "conduct your suicidal rampage in a boardroom, not a classroom", mission accomplished.

Maybe schools in America need to start getting CEOs to come and do talks there for the kids. Then maybe there can be considerably more happy little accidents out of horrific events that have no solution.

How could someone do this. The line was going up!

Her

And I can't believe he shot that new intern. The other CEOs and managers were looking forward to humiliating and mentally torturing them! The evening's entertainment was ruined!

Yeah the important part is not that he couldn't put together a thesis, it's that there's a multi billion dollar industry that gives the hope of millions and stardom to young males as long as they sacrifice their brain health.

Not just encourage but actively suppress research into

I know it's probably a coincidence, but it feels very on brand for USA that instead of playing football like the rest of the world, USA decided to replace football with a game where you carry an egg in your hands and give each other brain damage.

I mean, this is still pretty Luigi. A man striking out an evil corporation violently. I wouldn't put the NFL's crimes at the same level as UHC's. But they still churn through and destroy people like the shooter. It's ultimately the same form of anti-corporate vigilantism.

Oo, I've always wanted one of those! Does it go to terabithia??

One was a cop playing security guard for the oligarchy so two relatively uninvolved collaborators at best.

I wonder why the news isn't yelling about how sweet, uninvolved, and innocent those two were?

I think the tech bros are just trying to claim him as their own. They can't have him. I think Luigi was mostly about volunteering at old folks homes and rehabilitating dogs rescued from fighting rings and puppy mills.

You're literally doing what I just described.

Hardly the first victim of TBI. The difference is him targeting a crowd of CEOs rather than lashing out at a family member or loved one.

At first I only read that it was a building housing finance institutions, so I figured he had probably just snapped and figured he'd attack the world of finance. So crazy, but driven by the state of everything rather than by some random sports career.

I didn't see that it also housed the NFL. Makes the Football story a lot more plausible. So the CEO might indeed just have been a random bystander like anyone else at the scene.

In either case it's obviously not a defendable of constructive thing to do, I just speculated that maybe there's bigger things in America to lose your mind over than football. Maybe I was wrong.

In either case it's a reflection of the mental health crisis.

If we can shoot at tornados, we can find a way to shoot at capitalism.

You're talking about tens of millions of people.

I bet they won't even do a brain exam. It will be seen as "giving the killer what he wanted" and "disrespecting his victims" if they honor his request.

Most importantly the NFL will get to keep pretending everything is fine.

This has to be the most brain dead propaganda take on the internet right now. Yeah he totally didn’t mean to kill who he killed. It was all a happy accident

The CTE guy killed himself... and no if he actually had CTE (Its impossible to definitively diagnose while you are still alive) he was basically doomed. There are only really treatments to slow progression.

the sub is afraid of being suspended thats why. also the shooter was originally targeting the ceo, she just happen to be collateral. The MSMs are framing it as a "mass shooter" to avoid another LUIGI situation(the arrests, public knowledge)

Sometimes. The original discovery by Dr. Omalu involved post mortem samples but MRI will sometimes show evidence of atrophy in living brains when victims show symptoms obvious enough to arouse suspicion and bully insurance companies into paying for the deserved healthcare.

Fun Fact: after exposing the NFL's cover-up of CTE he also exposed the murder of Stephon Clark by Sacramento PD.

Wow they're really trying to imply misogyny there.

Gotta be honest I don't give a single fuck about a Blackstone executive that was in charge of real estate specifically.

Blackstone is evil in general, but its real estate division is even higher up the scumbag charts.

They're literally part of the ever-worsening homelessness crisis.

Some of the deaths here are a damned shame though, and the whole story of it is basically a top to bottom American tragedy.

Edit: Only slightly relatedly, Ashli Babbit's story is similarly top to bottom an American tragedy viewed from a different angle. The lady spent most of her life falling for scams and getting fleeced and then got killed (justifiably though it was) because she fell for one of the country's biggest scams.
