I'm genuinely shocked by the public reaction to this murder. I feel naive for saying that, but it's true. I'm not surprised that people are feeling the way that they feel - I feel it too - but I didn't expect to see such open support for violence. Feels like it's only a matter of time before this happens again.

America suddenly realized that shooting a billionaire will make you an instant folk hero. Historically, there has been a learning effect in violent episodes; one school shooting inspires others. I wonder what's next.

This is of course unacceptable in any half functioning Rechtstaat. Whether America qualifies as such I'll leave for others to decide.

America loves vigilantes. Half our movies are based on the Vigilante Man trope.. Bernie Goetz, George Zimmerman, Kyle Rittenhouse...the only thing different here is the vigilante shot a white man.

It’s not murder when it’s self-defense. This guy killed sooooo many people in the name of profit.
