        Yeah, I think it’s more likely that it was someone whose loved one was denied care instead of someone who was denied care themself.

      Got to be a kill count up there with some pretty big dictators.

    Oh no! I really hope this doesn’t start happening to all of the CEOs and board members that make a profit off of legally killing people…

      The thing that is entirely possible coming out of this is a boon for PMC companies getting hired for far more visible corporate security. Hotels and roads shut down for CEOs as if they are heads of state. I guess it was inevitable and cyberpunk really is just life imitating art

        There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM, and ITT, and AT&T, and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon. Those are the nations of the world today.

    It’s unfortunate this is the reality that people are living with. Events like this will become more frequent if the billionaire class doesn’t do something about it.

      In today’s world people should be afraid to flaunt their wealth, pursue these big positions. There’s so much inequality, I wouldn’t want to be the one to have all the goods. I dont condone murdering people for it, we should eat them instead.

      • Melt@lemm.ee ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        So eat them alive then?

        What is it exactly you think “eat the rich” means?

      They’ll do something about it alright, like further militarization of the police, increased government latitude to spy on civilians, and restrictions of what kinds of weapons were permitted to own.

      source
      • kautau@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Yeah this is just the precursor to cyberpunk (both the genre and the franchise) where corporate CEOs move with militarized armed escorts and have free reign to control areas and traffic where they see fit

    It’s like a textbook example of justice being served one way or the other, if not in orderly respectable fashion then in an abrupt violent fashion.

      Society failed them both.

      I’d say society did pretty well by the CEO. It was unrelenting greed and placing profits over people that got him to his end. That’s on him.

      • MutilationWave@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        I think they mean that society, in its money worship, failed the guy killed. He obviously valued money over lives and he learned that somewhere.

      As an aside I would say capitalism failed them. Society has existed and failed and evolved since people realized it was beneficial to work together. But that basic byline has always existed with those exploiting others. Roman society failed, feudal society failed, the first version of the US failed as a society, so on and so forth. In this lens, the version of society that failed is capitalism, or probably in this case late-stage capitalism

      I’m a terrible shot and I could make that shot. I know how to rack a slide if it gets jammed. I’m no expert. Certainly not a professional assassin.
