Like I said in another thread, we just do not know at this point.
"Everyone WANTS it to be “scumbag insurance exec. killed for scumbag insurance reasons”, but we just don’t know at this point.
Jilted lover? Could be. Caught cheating? Sure, why not? Insurance killing? Weirder things have happened. Friend or relative just sick of his shit? I mean, I dunno the guy, but anything is possible. Completely random killing? In MY New York City? It’s more likely than you think!"
If it turns out he got killed because somebody approved an abortion or gender affirming care, suddenly that IS political, but not in a way anybody expected. The conversation gets turned on its head.
That’s why I’m saying “don’t get all excited, wait until we know more.”
Yeah bro that’s totally what you meant which is why you didn’t express these reservations until now but did morally admonish anyone that celebrated and even threw in some veiled threats about being banned for inciting violence.
Why he got killed is just as important. The people celebrating don’t know why they’re celebrating. They don’t know anything about the guy other than he’s a CEO.
Let’s say, just for the sake of argument, that he was involved in a mixed marriage and some white supremacist killed him for being a “race traitor”.
Suddenly now the discussion has changed.
People are assuming he got killed for reason “x”, but we just do not know at this point and it’s more prudent to withhold judgement until we DO know.
Bro you’re not some profound thinker. People understand it could be for another reason. But what little details we have, use of a silencer, waited for that specific person, points to it not being.
Regardless it’s still karmic justice what ever the real reason is.
The discussion needs to cool down so people don’t get bounced for violating lemmy.world TOS.
I’m anti-knee-jerk-reaction.
If it turns out like people want, that this is some relative of someone who died because they were denied care, that’s a different conversation… but we just don’t know yet.

nobody cares why he got killed, people are celebrating that he did… way to miss the point champ.

people like seeing a parasite dead, kinda like saddam or osama…
if the reason for why it happened ever comes out, we can discuss it then. i doubt it though. it will get covered but that’s just my opinion.
it is also prudent to not be a parasite but yet he was one.
FAFO.
You came into thread where nobody violated ToS to remind us about ToS lol
just to tell us “be prudent”? I am not following what is your impulse here beyond to cool down the discussion.

So my advice is cool it until we do know.
Can we gloat now now cheif?

Personally, I’d wait until there’s a positive ID, but then I just woke up, I may be behind the curve right now.
