    In a statement, Thompson’s family said he was “an incredibly loving father” to two sons and “will be greatly missed.”

    He wasn’t missed by one person.

        I heard he was spotted in the middle of the Darién Gap. They should hurry and start a manhunt for him in that area.

        I hope this becomes the opposite of the Brock turner meme where we don’t use their name even if they get caught.

      People get killed everyday. I don’t condone it but I’m also not gonna act like I got the moral high ground and lecture. Now these companies are gonna take measures to protect themselves and their family. But all it takes is one really motivated individual with nothing more to loose.

    The Network Contagion Research Institute studies the spread of hostile ideological content. From an article linked in this article:

    “We’ve identified highly engaged posts circulating the names of other healthcare CEOs and others celebrating the shooter," he said. "The framing of this incident as some opening blow in a class war and not a brutal murder is especially alarming.”

      The framing of this incident as some opening blow in a class war is reflective of the feelings of the working class for some time now.

      Here’s a neat graph

      The fact that we’re only just now getting heads rolling is honestly surprising

        They have always been fighting, we are the ones who need to be fighting back. And looks like maybe someone just did (except if the killer is a contract killer hired by another rich waste of space).

      Alarming if you know you’d be in the firing line, in which case you have plenty of money with which to retire and do something good instead. The choice is yours.

    Good. The CEO was making the world worse. I hope the shooter is never caught. And if they are, I hope the jury nullifies.
