A copycat will definitely happen eventually. How many happen after that depends on what goes down.
The primary thing stopping this from happening is the feeling that people will get caught doing it. If some people start getting away with it, a lot of people start thinking they can too.
If two get away with it, it's going to become open season.
All good until crazy chuds get inspired and start killing doctors and nurses. That’s what I am really afraid of.
I work in healthcare with patients and I have zero fear of this beyond random acts of violence.
I’d be lying if I said the thought hadn’t crossed my mind, but people generally see frontline health workers as care providers and sometimes friends.
The doctors that provide trans healthcare and abortions are the ones I’d be scared for.
I proudly provide care to at least a few trans people every week.
And now I can concealed carry at work, they can try and stop me.
Bad guy with a gun, good guy with a gun, and so on.
May the blessing of every Soviet in the Red Army be with you.
I don’t know about that. In America, the conservatives think performing abortion is a sin. There are crazy people out there who are on the brink of committing violence as soon as they realize how much they can get away with it.
I’d be more worried about mass shootings at health insurance company HQs and shit that only end up hurting the lowest level workers.
But also if you work for a health insurance company I kinda don’t give a fuck about you. Even if it’s the call center. Work in a different call center. I’ve been unemployed for 4 months and working for a health insurance company has been considered among being a prison guard and joining the US Military, which is to say I haven’t considered it at all.
Working customer support for the orphan crushing machine is an evil job, I see them no different from cops or other evil professions.
If there's no weapon and no relationship they can't do shit. The cameras definitely tip things in their favor but as long as someone covers their face and has no visible tattoos they are helpless.
Yeah trying to convict on just the video would be impossible. That could be literally any white man. There were several hundred white guys in NYC wearing that outfit that day.
