Not murder.
Denial of service.
This is not legal advice, but i'm pretty sure it was simply murder.
Hooray for murder‽
There is no rule of law when legal change stops being an option. Like when cops kill people for being brown, this is an act of terror. It's not ideal, but neither is capitalism that will never be peacefully stopped.
It was murder, yeah. And dude deserved it :) And so do all the crooks in government he and others like him line the pockets of.
Politicians have ensured that there is no peaceful, legal pathway to reform. That's why this happened.
Isn't there going to be a very big change to US government come january?
Honestly, simply put, imo, no. The same rich and powerful are going to be in charge then. Even more so. I’d argue that the incoming government even guarantees that there’s no peaceful, legal, pathway to reform.
And what are they gonna do except continue to line their pockets while we all suffer.
Most armed country in the world. Continue to fuck around and you will find out. I can’t believe it took this long.
Towards authoritarianism and dictatorship and away from democracy, yes.
So change is possible if you gather sufficient votes?
In the US? No.

So nothing is changing in january?
but if the president wears different pants than the previous president that goes to show voting can affect change
how can someone be so lacking in nuance? your world is so black and white lol.
my guy, you really need to think through things more, you're so simple it's mind boggling
So black and white that I don't manage to appreciate murder, apparently :)
In my way, I see that as a good thing.
you haven't responded to the myriad comments pointing out when we feel it's justified to kill someone, like defending yourself and others or at times of war.
So, what's your stance?
Even in self defense, to me, killing someone is last resort.
I get robbed at gunpoint: i give them my wallet.
I get attacked for reasons beyond my control (gaybashing for example): i'd try to run, as it's usually a group of people. I'd cry for help. I'd try to inflict enough pain to get away.
I'm at war. I don't want to be at war. I also noticed people larping here, like they want to be in a war. To me that's crazy.
I get wormholed back to baby hitler: Wouldn't kill him. Would encourage him often to persue arts.
More specific to this case: it's not self defense if you stalk a person then kill them, in my opinion.
That's incel turned rapist/murderer thinking, in my opinion.
Yes but now you're discussing nuance whereas in your replies to everyone else you're making a blanket statement that murder is always wrong.
You can't reject other peoples' nuanced arguments with a blanket statement then retreat to making your own when confronted.
Your POV is valid, and I'm not telling you you're wrong to believe it, but you haven't been engaging with others in good faith.
Stalking someone, to then kill them. That's incel turned rapist/murderer behaviour, to me.
I've genuinely only seen people enjoying murder, saying it's great because they don't like the murder victim.
What nuance am I missing, that's not encompassed by: "they don't like the murder victim"?
I'm referring to people talking about the trolley problem, defense, war, etc.
When it comes to killing the CEO I'm not gonna argue it because your position is valid.
I agree it's "wrong" but I won't hide my smile, I wouldn't be sad about some other similar incidents either.
When there is no justice, there can be no peace.
There's not really a question left.
I'm glad you get to feel good. Good for you.
Sad someone got to die for you to feel good. Have you tried hiking?
Nah fewer bad people in the world is better medicine
I'm sure Trump's concepts of a plan will fix healthcare in this country. Yup, definitely should have just waited for daddy Trump to give the healthcare industry a spanking. He's definitely not a slimy conman who will just let the insurance industry line his pockets like every other politician.
the world isn't so black and white, and this kind of attitude (preservation of the status quo, valuing order over justice) is what allows evil to persist.
Sometimes we need to get our hands dirty, and you're benefiting today from the people willing to do that in past generations.
Sometimes it's armies storming a beach, sometimes it's the people checking those in power
