This meme is astroturf propaganda to try to discourage the working class. There are plenty of stories of insurance companies reversing their decisions and approving procedures that they had denied the day before, or not going through with plans to reduce coverage.
That is what happens when the 1% are reminded that they are outnumbered 99 times, and that those with nothing to lose have nothing to fear.
Yep. This never depended one the efforts of one person. It’s going to take all of us working together, and filling in where we’re needed to do our part.
You really think this is over? Columbine was a shocking, once in a lifetime event when I was in middle school. By the time I was in college, school shootings were a fact of life. The only difference is that people weren't rooting for school shooters. They may have caught this guy, but a new era of gun violence is just getting started.
Let's watch how hard gun control gets pushed when the barrels are aimed at the puppet masters.
Fellow lefties: If it's safe for you to do so, acquire, train, and responsibly store. That is all.
Let's watch just how nice conservatives are to their reps when someone puts gun control on them.
I've kinda always wanted to see it.
I mean, someone literally drove up to one of their softball games and tried to kill them all, and they still didn't support gun control. It won't be until the majority of their billionaire oligarchics tell them it's OK that they'll start supporting it.
That guy failed. It makes a big difference when they actually get killed.
Sure, Congress will act, but the Supreme Court has spent the last 15 years making sure that even the most moderate, milquetoast gun reforms get struck down. I know the current Justices are hypocrites that make a mockery of precedent, but considering they're the ones that created the precedent (particularly Alito, Roberts, and Thomas), it's going to be hard for Congress to write a gun control law that doesn't force several Justices to either strike it down or invalidated their own opinions.
A constitutional amendment isn't impossible, but I think the NRA would still have enough juice to prevent Congress from reaching a two-thirds consensus, and definitely enough to stop three-quarters of states from ratifying it. The billionaire class has spent a lot of money making gun control extremely difficult, and I think that's about to bite them in the ass.

Nonsense.
It was a wake up call for execs to quit their bullshit. It was a wake up call for the working class to band together.
And there is still a very slim chance he gets acquitted/a not guilty verdict.
The conditions that caused this event haven't gone away. And all of the school shooter types have just been taught that you will be widely regarded as a folk hero for shooting an exec, so they may opt to change their targets for the better. We will probably see more exec shooters.
Less dead children, more dead asshole? Might even reduce therapy cost for parent.
Win win win
One can hope
And a dead CEO. Take your wins where you can, it's almost fascist season.
It's gonna be a hot fucking summer.
Hottest on record, I hear!
That douche bag CEO isn’t gunna get his life back and so on top of the reviews we got:
- One dead asshole, hell yea.
- That one company rolling back their decision to charge even more for anesthesia.
- A whole lot of people learning even more about how fucked up healthcare really is.
- A bit of an uptick in class solidarity
- One step in the right direction.
Shut the hell up, is what I’m trying to say.
It gave us a tiny fleeting look into a world where a united working class has power and outnumbers the ruling class.
FYI they only rolled back that change in one single state. The change will still happen in other states.
Sounds like we need 49 more adjustments.
But that requires more Luigis
Well I have some kinky shit I wanna get into before I go to prison.
....and a cold dead CEO responsible for stealing our money and leaving us to die. You left that part out.

What kinda fuckass McDonald's worker calls the cops on a folk hero? This is why we will continue to be curb stomped by the boot.
Somebody who needed $60k for medical expenses.
A well trained, well beaten dog.
An economic Uncle Ruckus. They train us from birth to see shame in not being wealthy, it sadly works. Some of our economy's victims internalize their own dehumanization and see it as the natural order to report on their fellow inferiors to their betters.
The same people mourning BriBris loss by hilariously trying to shame everyone for not condemning his murder while conveniently ignoring all the people he murdered through policy, and whose policies murdered people yesterday, and will today, tomorrow...

Someone mentioned how the first time there was a school shooter, everyone took note. And now we have school shooters. It'd be interesting if this became a thing.
Jesus christ that's...amazing.
It hasn’t even been 24 hours yet
Did you expect some kind of mass uprising to happen the very next day? A hundred million people out in the streets, all armed to the teeth, hunting CEOs for sport?
In this cartoon fantasy world of yours, what does "something coming from this" look like? Was his next stop going to be the White House where he would hold Biden at gunpoint until M4A is implemented?
Honestly my only hope is.. that the lone gunman suicidal "I want to go down in a way to be remembered" kinds of shooters. Learn from this, and consider shooting a wealthy CEO instead of a school or movie theatre etc...
I in no way want more violence... but I believe it would be nice if the "we can't do anything about" violence, were more top of the power chain instead of bottom.
Realistically, if all the school shooters start going after CEOs instead (I certainly wouldn't complain if they did) you'd very quickly see gun violence go from "unsolvable" to "very solvable".
