Its fucked up the news is acting like Sandy Hook wasn't a decade ago. All this guy is accused of is shooting a CEO.
I don't really think it's a conspiracy of sorts, it's just news media being news media. They want the most clicks, doesn't matter much what for or what the consequences are. it's the same reason why trump yet again got so extremely much news coverage. Had news organizations all decided not to waste their time with trump, we wouldn't have his presidency now. In reality though, everyone and their mother had to talk about trump, it was trump before and after and now we have yet again to deal with this fuck face for a other 4 years. I know that news media aren't the only ones to blame, theyight now even be the worst, but he'll do they have a large share of the blame for all the shit that had been happening lately, and it's all about the clicks, it's all about the money
This is the disheartening part that highlights the class divide. Shootings of common folk barely make the news where I'm from. How much have taxpayers paid for this so far? Justice clearly isn't being applied equally.
Maybe if it happens enough, we can normalize billionaire CEO murder as well.
CEO or not, billionaires gotta go
Ya you don't have to be a CEO to hold massive investments across the board
The problem here is the frequency of the crimes. If CEOs were being shot on a weekly to bi weekly average in groups of 3 or more, this crime would become one of the many others the American media wash over.
That sounds like a challenge
We've come a long way with fun trends. Planking, owling, cat breading, an now CEOing, what a time to live in
They got Luigi'd!
Indeed, the powerful would be left on their own like they left our children on their own. Only unlike our kids, they could do something about it....
The billionaires would be totally "scrooged", better share the wealth assholes. A poor man, isn't a murdered man.
cackle
Well, I can dream....
pretty sure the affect on stonks would make congress address it differently
Sandy hook was instead normalized, and happens multiple times over across the nation annually. Pew pew ‘muricuh
