The guy likely did it. The guy's social media history puts him right in that "potential mass shooter" territory, but one more radicalized by pain rather than the right-wing shitholes of the internet.
But the part no one's talking about yet are the copycats to come. Because this guy got attention for it. Accolades even. That's part of what mass shooters want. Attention. Accolades are a wet dream for them.
At least this will be better than when they were murdering children for the shock value.
So yeah, I think "Rich asshole murdered" will become more common. If only the richest asshole in whatever Podunk little town the mass shooter was from.
And yet, I can't say that it will be a completely bad thing. If the mass shootings must happen, (and America apparently says they must) then I'd rather it be a rich asshole who bites it than a classroom full of grade schoolers.
Killing one specific person and then fucking off does not, a mass-shooting, make.
No, but it's the same sort of pattern that you see in mass shooters.
Disaffected young men. Educated, but with minimal meaningful job prospects. Little to no family, or no close ties.
The sort of young man who wouldn't mind dying, or killing, for a cause, even if that cause is just gaining people's attention.
In the US, those sorts of young men do all sorts of things, many live productive lives. But almost every single mass shooter is one of those young men. Luigi is one of those young men, That's why the comparison is apt.
He just decided to kill a rich asshole instead of a bunch of randos. All because his particular radicalization was via pain instead of the usual right wing internet shitholes.
Yeah, those are in short supply.
It's almost like society is getting more dangerous for everyone cause we're letting young men become disaffected.
It's their privilege that allows them to act out in a violent manner.
Howzat three letter paycheck? Or do you suck that short ripoff for your sole and a lying crock or righteousness?
Uhh, thank you but we have plenty of fresh towels.
Then why the fuck do you think this is being so regularly used by such regular travelers of space and time, newbie? LOL.
A lot of people in this sub could be put in "potential killer" territory based on the comments made but that doesn't mean they are/were
A lot of people in this sub just need a radicalization event.
Luigi was radicalized by pain.
When you back someone into a corner, chances are sooner or later they're going to fight back.
Are you saying that "Eat the Rich" has started?
It has, the copycats are coming.
It won't be exactly targeted, but more rich assholes will be murked.
I'm pretty sure Step 3 is "get out of here".
