Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

By definition, it was an assassination.
Assassination is the willful killing, by a sudden, secret, or planned attack, of a person—especially if prominent or important. It may be prompted by political, ideological, religious, personal, financial, or military motives.
Except the object shot wasn't a person.
If you’re trying to seriously dehumanize someone to justify their assassination, I’m going to ask you to go back to the children’s table because the adults are talking here.
Yeah you're doing the thing where you elevate a CEO to that of a person of prominence and imprtantce.
That's oligarchy shit.
Homeboy was a rich fuck with a job and kids, and he got murdered. Seemingly in cold blood.
Not assassinated.
Yeah. You’re doing the thing where you change the definition of a thing to that of something that better matches your personal opinion of it.

I highlighted the words that are synonymous with a CEO of one of the largest insurance companies to ever exist.
Yeah. He was not important.
Not an assassination.
An overpaid guy with a job.
Murdered.
Not prominent or important because he was a CEO, because he was responsible for so many deaths. Prominent in complicity.
Yeah. You’re doing the thing where you change the definition of a thing to that of something that better matches your personal opinion of it again.
Now you’re doing the thing where you resort to personal attacks against people who disagree with your off-hand way of defining things to suit your narrative.
What boot? They’re not boots. They’re sneakers because that’s what I choose to call them. I know everyone else calls them boots, and empirically, they are defined as boots- but not to me, and you’re entirely wrong and worthy of ridicule for assuming that I follow factual definitions like everyone else.
Not before he was able to purposefully take thousands of innocent people with him so he could still have the dollas.
