He’s worried that his son could have been in danger, while he gives no fucks about the hundreds of children who will be harmed.
What’s in this data center deal for him?

A donation to his reelection campaign.
Exactly. And they'll make sure to build it far away from his house
Oh, look. Another "violence is never the answer" claim from the government.
While our government uses violence or the threat of violence to do anything they've wanted for the past 250 years.
Seems negotiating only ever works at all, if you're carrying a stick and they know you're willing to use it.
Back when I was a libertarian (Anarcho Capitalist, but no longer. Loudly a democratic socialist) this concept was called "monolopoly of force".
Made me laugh thinking of ancaps pronouncing 'monopoly' like Ralph Wiggum would.

This... Isn't bad news.
For a moment I wondered if it even belonged here.
Wait this isn't /c/UpliftingNews?
Fuck them clankers.
Are you for the people? Or for the corporation? That is what is at stake these days it seems.
Corporations have more money, and money is protected speech. 😞

Too bad this dipshit (Ron Gibson) will learn nothing at all.
In the US, this probably counts as free speech...
starting to be the only free speech people have left
why do you think Luigi is so populsr
Remember, Luigi didn't do it, it's alleged and they have fucked up hard. Which is why it's taking so long.
i just said he was popular
we all know he’s innocent
in fact he was at my house that day gaming
I really wish "The people I represent are against this." Would be a good enough deterrent to these monstrosities being foisted on already-besieged communities across the country.
This attack was a symptom of an underlying issue, because there's no trust in representatives anymore, after so many take a bundle of cash from the techbros and say "IDGAF YOLO LMFAO" to their constituents.
OK. So some asshole shoots up a local politician's house, while he and his eight year old son are inside. Something that:
- Has only increased support for said politician
- Has strengthened his resolve to support said data center
- Will inevitably be used as evidence that anti-AI people are nuts
- Could easily have ended in the murder of a child, because, again, he was in the house this person indiscriminately fired into
And the reaction here is 'good?'
If you honestly believe this way, you have been dangerously radicalized. Get help before you hurt someone.
You make good points but when politicians don't listen to people and those people get desperate they also get violent. If politicians didn't want to get shot at they shouldn't have created a world in which that sounds like a good idea to damn near half the population. Actions have consequences and the people in charge have been ignoring problems for a long time. Sooner or later that's going to bite them in the ass in one way or another.

Hey I won't say good, but how about indifferent? Crocodile tears about his family do nothing for me when his policies are bound to wreck a large portion of his constituents putting out of work and on the streets, on a systematic scale. Not to even mention the environmental catastrophe he's invited in, for a meager $2.5M.
Yeah.. Indifferent. Numb. Sucks for him. Will suck even worse for everyone else soon.

Sorry, cheering for political violence is just normal now. The right has been pushing and supporting political violence so hard that its...just not radical anymore.
Sure, this time it might not have been somebody on the right, but it doesn't really matter. Once political violence becomes normal, it becomes normal.
