Cool, go assassinate another CEO if you actually care.
Posting on the internet does nothing.
Yeah, there might be some copycats, but I'm dubious. This reignited the healthcare and wealth gap conversation, but that's about it. Nothing meaningful will come from this in regards to our legislature taking action to help the lower and middle classes out.
This guy is likely to go to jail for a long time. Law enforcement spared no expense tracking him down, catching him within days even after making a relatively clean getaway after a fairly well executed plan. Not many people have nothing to lose and/or have no fear of those kinds of consequences.
In my opinion, until around 30% of our country is on the verge of starvation, unemployment, and/or homelessness, there won't be a mass movement that chooses to take forceful action. And even if that occurs, you can guarantee all the fancy police state surveillance they've put in place over the last 20-some-odd years will get dialed up to 11.
Fairly well-executed plan? Dude was eating in public in the same jacket he wore that day.
Not to mention going without the mask at Starbucks and keeping the manifesto and weapon.
He wasn't trying to seriously evade capture. But I think he was close to having a chance.
And yet the only reason he was caught as soon as he was, was because a McDonald's employee wanted $50,000 (and didn't even end up getting the money anyway).
I didn't say it was a flawless plan or even great, just that he did evade authorities for days despite the insane amount of resources NYPD poured into finding him.
He was 100% getting caught regardless of who reported seeing him. The only chance he had was ditching everything and running forever.
If he made it overseas, it would have been much harder.
I think he would have been much better off going immediately to a lawyer, and go into hiding for a while. Her could have afforded to Doordash some Mickey D's.
I think that a lot of Americans have nothing to lose
And that number will be increasing drastically after Trump's fascism takes over.
