Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Weird fucking story tbh. Apparently the shooter got CTE from playing football in college and decided to shoot up the NFL offices. Got off on the wrong floor and blasted some of the worst capitalists in America instead.

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 82 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Granted, had he gotten off in the right floor, he would have also killed some of the worst capitalists in America

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 54 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Pick a floor any floor, they're all the correct floor for some shooting!

[–] GiantSpoonWielder@lemmygrad.ml 53 points 1 month ago

I'm not convinced by anything two pigs say about the events. They have an interest in depoliticizing and obscuring the motivations for violence against the ruling class. Maybe a happy accident, but maybe not an accident at all. In either case the world is better off with fewer of these leaches.

critical support to CTE

LePatner helped organize a trip to Israel last year for senior women on Wall Street

i-cant

she used to work for Goldman Sachs too. a truly worthless leech upon society who dedicated her life to the upwards transfer of wealth, and to making housing unaffordable. rot in piss

[–] culpritus@hexbear.net 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

While looking into her a bit, I came across the term 'humanitarian zionism'.

Are we finally entering an era of mass shootings at people who actually deserve it?

[–] Monk3brain3@hexbear.net 52 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I really do hope so. The elites did nothing when schoolchildren were and are getting shot daily and now every psycho has a mini armory. At least its finally being put to good use

[–] halfpipe@hexbear.net 29 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Ironically, US mass shooters switching their targets away from schools and walmarts and towards office buildings and institutions will absolutely cause congress to start pushing heavy gun control laws.

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

That being said, also keep speaking ill of the pigs. It just might get hate speech and hate groups banned as well.

[–] Monk3brain3@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

That also crossed my mind. At least school children won't risk their lives to get educated

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 27 points 1 month ago

Going to be cautiously optimistic. Let's hope this all starts giving some pause to these ghouls gleefully ruining the world.

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think it may depend upon how the public reacts to this shooting.

Honestly, if they react the way they did with UnitedHealth, despite the condemnation from the media, then I would completely expect to see more capitalists getting capped. Shooters are usually deprived of social relations, etc. and would be desperate to be seen as heroes by the public, which would be just a pure :waow:.

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

From what I heard so far I think this one was chance not targeted at this person. I'd hold off until we get more info on the motive

But either way sounds like one less shithead

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago

Yeah, that's what people mentioned here too. So, sounds like the motive was unrelated/missing but the outcome was acceptable.

Maybe the motive will throw people off, since United had a vengeance element. In which case, I think we could tentatively say USians approve of revenge killings of CEOs.

Two senior law enforcement officers said the suspect was targeting the National Football League’s office, but ended up on the floor of another company by mistake.

I prefer to call it a happy little accident

Dear shooter, may you reincarnate as a butterfly or something else cool 🦋🦋🦋

spend a few lifetimes chilling as a deep sea fish or something out of harm's way, and come back out once we've achieved communism

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

god no life as any kind of fish is fucking horrifying

[–] MayoPete@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

IDK whale life sounds fun. Of course humans have to ruin it with fishing and filling the oceans with all sorts of plastics and waste :/

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago (8 children)

Whales aren't fish though. But tbh the exact same reasoning applies- parasites. I might be wrong but my understanding is essentially nothing in the ocean escapes them. You're constantly swimming through a larval soup. And almost all of them are horrifying, like that isopod that eats and then effectively replaces tongues. Or how Greenland sharks all have copepods chewing through their eyes that make them blind.

She was also a Zionist? What are the odds of that?!

[–] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 28 points 1 month ago

like 99%? you won't find anyone remotely anti-zionist in the upper echelons of Blackstone of all places lol

[–] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 40 points 1 month ago (2 children)

How are there different evil real estate companies named Blackrock and Blackstone? What kind of Wario/Waluigi shit is this?

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I thought Blackstone became Blackrock? They're actually different?

[–] Carl@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They're both investment firms founded in the 80s but by different people.

[–] hotcouchguy@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I thought one was a spinoff of the other or something?

[–] Carl@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago (3 children)

They were very closely related, but technically separate. BlackRock was initially founded as "Blackstone Financial Management", a company that "The Blackstone Group" had a 50% stake in. They changed their name to BlackRock after Stephen A. Schwarzman, Blackstone's CEO, sold his stake in the then-smaller company.

So was this collateral damage, considering he was supposedly targeting the NFL?

Regardless, man goes on shooting rampage at building full of evil people and an evil person died. Shocker

Rest in peace to the security guard and the shooter, who were both working class.

[–] stink@lemmygrad.ml 55 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sec guard was an offduty cop

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 32 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If you're working security at that high a level, you kind of need to be viewed as a collaborator.

[–] sewer_rat_420@hexbear.net 25 points 1 month ago

I was trying to give some benefit of the doubt and pictured someone like the security guard at my local CVS and makes near minimum wage. But probably right, and if he was an off duty cop then definitely right that he is a collaborator.

We all need a little bit of adventure in our lives, not everything has to be for the revolution

Buy that last minute ticket to Ibiza, drop a tab of acid before the job interview, shoot up a real estate office, order your coffee black
