No..greed will prevail
Now how they act might be a different story.
I think we need about two more within the next month to have an impact on CEO risk calculation. Of course the guy is definitely going to get caught if he strikes again.
Cops have one singular mission: protect rich folks. They will pull out stops we've never seen before to get this guy if he looks like he won't stop on his own. He'll probably get caught anyway, but if he's smart he'll take the W and disappear.
Of course, the most likely result isn't a change of behavior, but having bodyguards be part of the standard CEO compensation package.

So it costs less than one major life saving surgery then.
$250k a year?
That's it?
Sounds like it needs to get a bit more expensive.
If assassins started going after the guards, those guards might want more danger money.
For legal reasons, this is an observation not a suggestion.
If I ever wanted to ruin a megacorporation for ruining my life, I'd start going after the lowest wrung of the ladder. Give two warnings and then execute the plan on them. Non-fatal accidents and the like. Warn again. Move on to the next one. Warn them etc. Repeat as long as necessary. Never go for the higher ups that can afford security.
This will probably never happen to me, because I don't live in the late stage capitalist hell-scape.
My hope is prospective school shooters see praise given to The Adjuster and change their MO so innocent children are spared.
That's a great perspective! I love it.
1 is an off chance. Two more and their will legit be fear that the poor are rising up to eat the rich.
