Been saying it since 🔔Limbaugh🔔. The idea that we need to pretend it isn't a good thing when evil people die is some Disney channel bullshit

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Disney used to like killing their villains. These days, they make entire movies dedicated to the villain...

I was thinking earlier... maybe all the lessons in the saturday morning cartoons were really intended to keep the masses from fighting back. I mean, no, the good guys don't always win in the end. And cheating sure as hell does payoff. They want the masses to take the high road. While they tunnel through anything in thier way.

I don't think it's funny, more like it feels good to see an atom of justice done for once. One murder changes nothing, it has no value as far as changing the system, but the symbolic value is through the roof.
Here's the thing: even if we change the healthcare system tomorrow, they get to keep their billions. We can change the system, but there will be no justice because one of the principles of our legal system is that justice isn't retroactive. So seeing one of the guilty parties killed is an example of retribution that is very rare and exhilarating.
Just not funny per se
one of the principles of our legal system is that justice isn’t retroactive
There have been plenty of cases in history where this didn't hold.
King Charles I of England. King Louis XVI of France (not to mention the rest of his far-less-culpable family). Many prominent Nazis post-WWII. When society collectively decides that someone's actions were heinous enough and caused enough harm, at a certain point a law can be created and applied retroactively, often on the grounds that there was a clear violation of some greater principle that should be self-evident.

Yeah, it’s heartwarming
It gives me hope that maybe the distant future doesn't include a privileged class using the rest of us as free labor, fuel, and food...
Just as a comment, not a suggestion: a society that squeezes its people has to either repress them hard, or at some point expect it to start boiling over. The mob lynching the leaders is what happens once the mob gets desperate enough and are not heard.

Call every crime tipline and report the person responsible for this death and many others - That person's name was Brian Thompson.
Still reminds me of the time they sent out a sketch of the uni bomber and musician/professional jokester Weird Al did this
This can be the start of our revolution
My theory is that it's just that episode of Its Always Sunny from the new season. Dennis is placed on a customer service loop and eventually gets so frustrated with robot receptionists, scripted tier 1 support, and a system designed to waste our time and pit us against each other, that he tracks down the CEO of the car company at his beach house and rips his heart out of his chest and eats it.
So maybe someone should try that next time?
Is anyone, not virtue signalling, truly upset by this? It looks like a good, but small beginning of a purge long overdue.
Upset? No. More like a little uncomfortable. Partly because I'm an idealist who always hopes for the best and most moral and peaceful solutions. Partly because it makes me uncomfortable how little I am angered by this. Sure I absolutely do not want proles to go and kill the bourgeoisie... but I guess it's not... I don't feel the need to condemn this. Sometimes things are just... shrug
But it's really just a little uncomfortable, like a sock not quite fitting my foot.
I am far FAR more uncomfortable with someone calling this the good but small beginning of an overdue purge.

I work in the insurance industry (though not directly for an insurance company) and while it's a small sample size, employees there range from apathetic to rolling their eyes at the "poor CEO needing money for his funeral"

Its all his counterparts at the other insurance scams that I'm laughing at. Suddenly they are considering their actions have consequences they can't control with more lawyers.

Yes.
The problem is that now the rest of them will fortress up making it much harder.
But this will cost them. Make it so expensive that they won't gain anything.

You can't spell murder without laughter.
