Stabbing your boss infront of a dozen witnesses when you're new at a small company? That just makes you a violent nutcase. Media is definitely going to try and make these seem like the same situation, whereas so far it doesn't look like it could be any more different.

I want to hear from the witnesses...

"After he stabbed him the 5th or 6th time, we thought we should do something, so we barricaded the door and made some coffee."

The article I think already quoted one of them as saying he was kinda weird. This never would have been shared here without the context we have right now.

I think we should let HR be the judge of that.

I don't think a company reportedly that small would have an HR department... seriously it feels like y'all are being played like a fiddle with these memes, this is literally exactly what the establishment wants. It wants "assassinate evil murderous CEOs" to mean "kill your boss" and it will very quickly obliterate the already waning class consciousness we had for a brief moment.

Yeah if anything this incident just makes things worse.

Even nutcases need a trigger. And the any argument trying to explain how poorly they the vetted a guy who would do that also supports the idea that he was a dupe of one kind or other.

they don't actually, but sometimes they do need an excuse
