You know, they just make clear to us how effective it was. Had they handled it like any other murder, there wouldn't be a support movement that practically calls for others to do the same.

?

I mean like, people would still celebrate the ceo dying regardless. I mean, once the news reported "Delay, Deny, Depose", that's it. People would be in support.

Sure, they would still celebrate and support it. But having a single news ticker item "CEO shot" simply does not make waves like non-stop coverage for multiple days does.

There's roughly a murder a day in NYC. How many of them have you heard about? Do you know any of their names or professions?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

How many do the FBI get involved with? How much does the NYPD typically spend investigating each one? How many do they swear they will solve?

Only this one. Thanks for proving ops point lol

I want to know how much time and money they have spent tracking down this guy who killed one targeted individual versus how much money they spend on your average, non-CEO murder.
