EDIT: According to this, the dude in the meme is not the actual shooter. I haven't seen any legit sources one way or another. It's just a meme, please leave this guy alone.
Or get him in touch with Hawk T'ua Girl. Either way, he deserves it.
Please, leave the subject alone too. 90% or Lemmy is about the shooting. The world is bigger then an asshole getting shot.
Someone got shot. Ok, sure, it happens, it's the US, who gives a shit anymore, the country is fucked up, it's healthcare system always has been, we fucking know already.
It's fine to have a news article and some funny memes, but hundreds of memes is a bit overkill I'd say. I've seen many memes about his clothes already, so even that isn't original anymore. Lemmy really is a mono culture, it's a bit sad rly. It mainly focuses on the stupidity of the US, which is funny, I know, but a bit more variety wouldn't mind. It gets old rly fast.
Tbf if you or had a family member constantly denied life savings for chemo/antibiotics/insulin it’s probably a valid feels and ima let America have the front page on this one. Empathy. Go get some.
As soon as a Healthcare system is put in place, people en masse voted to have it removed. Instead of voting for a stronger social system so poor and sick will have support instead of being thrown out on the streets and kept poor, people vote for a president ensuring the extremity rich get even more rich and the poor even more poor. I do feel for the people who are the victim of this all, and I know many didn't vote for this. But also many did. It's a country where people love to dig their own grave, and even vote to have their shovel taken away so they will have to continue to dig by hand. Although many didn't want this, the entire population voted democratically (although the voting system is corrupt too) to keep the rich and the corruption in power. Now with RFK as a health minister, like that's going in the right direction. To the unfortunate people who voted against but we're the minority, I would love to invite you here in Europe. We do have social safety nets and although they aren't perfect, at least they exist and you won't be charged 20k for an ambulance drive you have to wait for, for 5 hours due to a lack of them. Here it's 5 to max 10min and insured.
Then something else. Someone kills a CEO with a gun. The fact anyone can have military grade weapons is one of the reasons people get injured and killed, so they need insurance. It's one of the biggest source of major issues, like school shootings for example. Now the CEO gets killed. Violence is never the answer, it only makes everything worse I nthe end. This CEO will be replaced by another one, with a better security detail. The fact that Americans always use violence is so extremity dumb and is why am extremity dangerous former fuck up will be president AGAIN next month. Because of hate and the idea violence is the answer. When you think murdering someone is justified, you're no better then the asshole getting shot. There's a justice system for a reason, you shouldn't act as your own judge and executioner. (ok to be fair, the US justice system is corrupt AF).
So I so have sympathy for the the victims who didn't vote for this. I do not for the people who did.
I am getting so annoyed a CEO being shot in the US creates this mono hyper focus on it, as if there's nothing else in the world, while at the same time there's a genocide happening (funded by the US by the way) among other major world issues and conflicts making the world tension roughly the same level as the 1930's. But many Americans voted to increase support for Israel, so fuck them. There's the usual doom scrolling on many social media platforms. But as soon as something happens in the US, the entire focus of everything and everyone is on it. I hate it, if I want to see it I'll watch Idiocracy or something but I'm done with all the stupidity, hate and violence in that fucked up country.
I'm claiming the problem is self-made and kept intact by most Americans and violence (in this case murder) isn't the answer and you compare me to a racist. Instead of personally attacking me, you could have come with supported counter arguments but so far you only came with "people their feelings" and "you argue like a racist". Have you ever thought of a political career?
First everyone votes for worse healthcare and more money and power to mega corps like healthcare companies and people like this murdered CEO, than kill this guy because of the corrupt healthcare system while antivax RFK will be health minister in a month. But yeah, murdering people is good news. Enjoy the fun.
