  • Denying healthcare is violence. Just because there’s layers of paper pushers in between the patient and the corporation denying care doesn’t change things.

    Engels said it best:

    When one individual inflicts bodily injury upon another such that death results, we call the deed manslaughter; when the assailant knew in advance that the injury would be fatal, we call his deed murder. But when society places hundreds of proletarians in such a position that they inevitably meet a too early and an unnatural death, one which is quite as much a death by violence as that by the sword or bullet; when it deprives thousands of the necessaries of life, places them under conditions in which they cannot live – forces them, through the strong arm of the law, to remain in such conditions until that death ensues which is the inevitable consequence – knows that these thousands of victims must perish, and yet permits these conditions to remain, its deed is murder just as surely as the deed of the single individual; disguised, malicious murder, murder against which none can defend himself, which does not seem what it is, because no man sees the murderer, because the death of the victim seems a natural one, since the offence is more one of omission than of commission. But murder it remains.

    with a weapon like the one used in the shooting and a manefesto and the same style of face mask, ect.

    All of that could of been planted evidence. Personally I think this could be legit or could be a patsy. I’m 50/50 on it. The back story of a (relatively) rich kid (petit bourgeoisie?) going class traitor because of his personal experiences with the system - pain is a major motivator - is compelling. It’s believable that even the privileged are suffering under our insane healthcare system.

    At the same time, the hit was clearly skilled. The intelligence it took to find the CEO in the right place and time. The ability to shoot accurately, calmly, even when the weapon isn’t working as intended is a skill that requires practice. The ability to get away from the hit cleanly on a bike and evade the Orwellian surveillance system that is NYC and disappear into the abyss for a nearly a week.

    All to get caught with all the evidence on him at a random McDonald’s in bumble fuck PA and acting strange enough to get caught?

    All that planning to get the hit and get out of it but no planning about what comes next? I find that really hard to believe. And while the arrested’s backstory is compelling, is it not that hard to find a someone in similar circumstances in America these days to pin it on?

    And then things get even weirder. He has family ties with Nancy Pelosi. In a country of 330 million, and someone finally pops a member of the elite, what are the chances that the shooter has ties to Pelosi?! I know that sounds like a crazy right wing conspiracy theory but there’s evidence that points to it being true. Maybe it’s just an odd coincidence.

    Maybe the guy didn’t expect to make it out of this alive and didn’t plan for what comes next. Or maybe the shooter is still out on the loose and this is just a (oddly well connected) fall guy to quell the elites fears and make the public forget this ever happened. I’m surprised he was taken alive.
