Yeah, wouldn't surprise me if the guy got evicted by them or something like that.
He literally had the wrong floor. Complete coincidence that his random act of violence happened to kill someone doing something evil, no one should be praising this guy.
Apparently, when the only justice in the world is accidental, people still praise the accident as a wonderful accident.
Whether you like it or not.
The scenario where nobody should be praising is the one where CEOs buy up tens of thousands of houses, and rig the prices so that hundreds of thousands of people are negatively affected by rent increases. Sometimes they end up on the street. Where they die.
That's the part that you're ignoring as you pretend to have a sense of morality.
A happy accident, yes?
Not Bob Ross’s typical scenery for a painting, but I’m sure he’d pull it off.
It's not an accident. There's a high chance of randomly killing someone evil if you walk into any Park Ave office building.
Yeah, so far this basically sounds to me like if the guy from Falling Down walked into the building Patrick Bateman works at.
At worst, from a tactical effectiveness standpoint.
If it actually was a more or less specifically targeted attack, it would absolutely make sense that this would be massively underplayed and misconstrued by the broad media...
Because the last thing the broad media wants, is a lot of pissed off, suicidal, heavily armed Americans realizing that this can actually be a shockingly effective tactic, for those with nothing left to lose, ready to meet God or w/e.
The broader media being basically a totally corporate owned affair, that really, really would prefer it not become normalized that ... (semi?) random corpos just start getting gun downed in roughly the American version of insurgent suicide tactics, who are to a great extent capable of acting totally solo and are thus impossible to completely prevent at scale.
Call it the 'final form' of 'I'd like to speak with your manager'.
I think this development is already a part of the elite survival plan though. It won't take much for the high net-worth individuals to avoid the street level altogether. The only people actually dying will be their lackies and stooges. And you'll see a lot more autonomous defense systems popping up to mitigate the damage.
Completely agree.
We are very rapidly heading toward full on cyberpunk dystopia.
Get your EM grenades ready, rofl.
The Lord works in mysterious ways.
Do you have any sources on that? I haven't seen anything that talks about a potential motive yet.

Thanks, I guess if that's a note in his wallet it's clear enough. You could've gone on any floor in that building and killed someone that deserved it, apparently.
The NFL was on another floor, he just fucked up and got the wrong target.
How many of the most vile corporations are in that building? Do Nestlé, Monsanto, and Raytheon have floors?
Genuinely, what is your source that he had 'the wrong floor'?
To have 'the wrong floor' implies there was a 'correct floor', which implies either a premeditated set person or set of persons as a target, or a known location associated with some kind of organization or something.
If it was a random 'just hurt people' type of mass shooting, there cannot really be a 'wrong floor', beyond maybe a comparison between overall target rich snd target sparse environments...
Or perhaps it was 'the wrong floor' in the sense of 'the correct floor' being one that worked with some kind of egress, escape plan?
Seriously, what do you mean by 'the wrong floor?'
He was gunning for the NFL not Blackstone. Thus wrong target/floor.
And what is your source on that?
I am again, genuienly asking for a source.
This is a recent event, I am not up to speed on the reporting on this, can you please provide a source that his target was the NFL?
The source is the suicide note. The various articles covering this story almost all mention it just read some of them. Hes not perfectly explicit in the note but it seems pretty clear that was his intended target based on what's contained in it.
Ok then, that is an actual source, or, at least a mention of one, thank you!
Bruh it's all over this thread

Hey thanks for an actual link!
I am on mobile, have both bad vision and a fucked up wrist, scrolling through a huge thread is physically difficult for me.
Makes sense, happy to help! 👍
