This assassin has created more solidarity over working class issues then the Democrats could, even with 1.5 billion dollars. Fascinating

Sounds like we've found what the Democrats should add to their playbook.

Who wants to go first?

biden should pardon him; whats one more pardon for a criminal with a gun after the first one?

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 50 points 1 month ago

It won't happen but that'd be such a fucking what the entire establishment would melt.

I'd pardon him for the lols, at Bidens age you gotta live a little.

Millions of Americans have trained to do this.

The training was abhorrently bad, very easy, completely unrealistic and provided no real skills.

But they have trained.

If these CEOs couldn't walk down the street without some moron in an assassin creed costume showing up. I would be so happy. They don't need to actually get harmed but they should live in a state of constant paranoia. It's the least they deserve.

They don’t need to actually get harmed

As long as they continue to perpetuate suffering, yes, they do.

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 4 points 4 weeks ago

Oh, I certainly wouldn't cry about it. I'm just willing to settle for them living in fear.

Yeah, Step 1: Jump off of a tower into a bale of hay.

By assassin you mean the one who got the bullets, right?

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 30 points 4 weeks ago

The assassin is the one who did the shooting. The one who got shot is the mass-murderer

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago

No, he didn't assassinate anyone, just caused them to die. He would have had to know who they were and cared enough to specifically target them for it to be assassinations.

Assassination implies a targeted strike.

Systematic Mass killers are not assassins.
