Forgot I even wrote this part. wow.

This story was peak social media echo chamber

From believing the killer was some assassin or superhero to thinking most of America was celebrating this as lick back

You were wrong, he was pretty much an overachiever.

exactly. i'm reading his profile and trying to connect that to class valedictorian, bachelors and masters from penn.

A bunch of corrupt CEOs getting slaughtered, or getting their info doxxed on a regular basis is going to be the new norm. That is why politicians are scared shytless.

No way. That would be the ideal timeline.. life is never that fair or interesting they sell that idea to us in the films as escapism and keep us trapped

A man can dream though

Ol boy breaks the narrative that only those at the bottom of society can become killers.

• Young
• Full of Promise
• Rich
• Purportedly connected
• White
• Educated
• Relatively successful for his age

In a different timeline, he'd be a CEO.

In our world, he used those advantages to kill a mass murderer - the slain CEO. A CEO who's background in accounting probably had him reduce people to just #'s in the first place. (As I adjust these TPS reports that have significant downstream consequences)

The media and the powers that be are ALWAYS afraid of someone telling the truth of a situation, saying things that aren't to be said.

It already happened once, and no one is letting it go.

This guy killed a man and ruined his own life and ultimately nothing will change. I guess he amused some people on the internet but he basically threw his own life away and accomplished nothing in the process. He should have known he'd be hunted down.

Meh most people will live and die their entire lives without having the kind of impact dude has had regardless of how meaningless you think it is.

I watched this site turn into a lot of things, but to see posters trying to radicalize other people is something that wasn't on my bingo card.

It's all over the world, breh.

French Revolution 3.0 may have kicked off.

I’m not surprised actually. But as is with life these days, these guys are waiting for other people to do what they say is right. Take smooth mind for instance, who “FTR” thinks violent revolution is necessary but has his feet up on the couch posting about it waiting for someone else to do the violent and revolution parts for him while criticizing anyone who dares oppose him.

This time line is shyt.

y'all are severely underestimating the notoriety of the whole thing and how it might steer mass shooters/school shoooter away from mass shooting into possibly seeking cult status like this guy has.

The guy who shot Trump was that.

americans pay more for healthcare than any other developed nation and get way less for it while stil having 30+ million people uninsured.

U.S. Health Care Spending Highest Among Developed Countries | Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health

The United States, on a per capita basis, spends much more on health care than other developed countries; the chief reason is not greater health care utilization, but higher prices, according to a study from a team led by a JHSPH researcher.

Dont take away my private insurance

Dont take away my private insurance

In 2020, presidential candidates were making this argument.

Health insurance never came up in 2022 and 2024

Congratulations I guess. A life behind bars or worse for 15 minutes of fame because you killed someone. His impact is being a murderer.

You were wrong, he was pretty much an overachiever. But on top of that Hinkley was brainwashed to do it for Bush

I'm not exempt from being wrong, or not being 100% accurate - lol - want to say I am the only one that didn't run with the professional killer narrative

We could both use select examples and say you are right or you are wrong, but here was my thought process:

Underachiever, in terms of what has he done post graduation? Underemployed, in terms of when was his last job? 2023? This is his big 'success'. This will be his legacy. He just drifted from job to job, one idea to the next. Granted, he's in a different socioeconomic status than I was, or most of us probably, and that gives you more freedom, but a lot of his classmates were probably working high level jobs, or internships, being groomed for CEO spots. He was on that track. He got off.

People who feel engaged and are living lives that they find meaningful do not do things like this. That was my reasoning.

idealism turns into disillusionment and bitterness, which meets his delusions of grandeur to change the world, and his big moment suddenly appears to him.
