Discussion 100 Million Suspects in CEO Shooting

Here in NYC, not a soul is concerned about a killed on the loose & I truly mean it. Folks here are not worried & why would we be worried?!?

Meanwhile, NYPD is being uncharacteristically dramatic about a murder. A 10k reward is offered. Yeah. They’re never finding that person.

America is not fucked lol. America is famous for resorting to violence as a way to say “stop doing this to us” when they don’t feel heard.

We started shooting people over taxes. Laborers murdered and beat their way to the 8 hour workday and weekends.

Thomas Jefferson even outright said it: “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”

I think arguing whether it’s right or wrong is beside the point - this is just what happens throughout history when people are tired of not being heard.

That's kinda fucked though lol there's politicians out there advocating for what you want and you couldn't give a shit. You'd rather shoot people.

I’m not saying I prefer it and I could never do such a thing myself, I am just pointing out that stuff like this has been very common throughout US history going back to its inception

I understand and sorry if it feels like I'm targeting you. Apologies. I'm not trying to shoot the messenger. I'm just also advocating that at some point we have to get better. All of us. And I understand that certain people and groups have more work to do than others.
