    In a statement, Thompson’s family said he was “an incredibly loving father” to two sons and “will be greatly missed.”

    He wasn’t missed by one person.

      People get killed everyday. I don’t condone it but I’m also not gonna act like I got the moral high ground and lecture. Now these companies are gonna take measures to protect themselves and their family. But all it takes is one really motivated individual with nothing more to loose.

          Good thing people can’t just go to the local grocery store and buy a rifle off the shelf capable of accurate shots hundreds of meters away with pretty much no background checks at all.

        I mean, they already hire corporate security, just slightly more frequently for now. But the expense won’t remain as justified as the memory of the killing fades.

        yeah this is my only real fear, the slaying will embolden chuds to attack anyone citing this murder as their excuse.

    The Network Contagion Research Institute studies the spread of hostile ideological content. From an article linked in this article:

    “We’ve identified highly engaged posts circulating the names of other healthcare CEOs and others celebrating the shooter," he said. "The framing of this incident as some opening blow in a class war and not a brutal murder is especially alarming.”

      The framing of this incident as some opening blow in a class war is reflective of the feelings of the working class for some time now.

      Here’s a neat graph

      The fact that we’re only just now getting heads rolling is honestly surprising

      Alarming if you know you’d be in the firing line, in which case you have plenty of money with which to retire and do something good instead. The choice is yours.

        They have always been fighting, we are the ones who need to be fighting back. And looks like maybe someone just did (except if the killer is a contract killer hired by another rich waste of space).

        I hope this becomes the opposite of the Brock turner meme where we don’t use their name even if they get caught.

        I heard he was spotted in the middle of the Darién Gap. They should hurry and start a manhunt for him in that area.

    Good. The CEO was making the world worse. I hope the shooter is never caught. And if they are, I hope the jury nullifies.

    Too bad, so sad. I guess they’ll just have to declare the case cold and file it.
