Funny you should ask. Realistically though they will try every tactic available to them, from trying to shape public opinion, to lobbying Congress to pass a new law providing taxpayer funded security for private corporations, and drafting legislation placing themselves as a protected class of people, so that actions against them can be charged as hate crimes or terrorism. Probably the latter, since under the Patriot Act they can then hold people indefinitely without charge or trial, and torture them.

They will tell anyone left of center that he’s a far-right nutjob, then simultaneously tell anyone right of center that he’s a radical marxist trying to bring down America, then people will fight each other.

I mean, that’s what I’d do if I was in charge of intelligence agencies.

Edit: As someone who leans left on the political spectrum, Idgaf even if he turned out to be right wing, the deed itself is good, and even if he was right wing, I still blame the media for those views that he has, he’s probably still a good person at heart.

I heard a coworker talk about how the CEO was going to testify against Nancy Peloci and they were old family friends or some convoluted story. So there’s that one floating around.

Paranoid much?

They’ll let it play out normally and the next interesting thing will distract the majority of Americans.

Oh it’s almost January? Here comes Trump News every day

I can see a ban on silencers for sure. Probably a push for more surveillance and internet monitoring.

If we’re just pulling shit out of our ass, maybe this will encourage conspiracy nuts to actually learn about political organizing and the rich history of well-documented movements from the last 100+ yrs that have resulted in real change/benefits for the working class

Hell, maybe people will even start reading more! Like, stuff written by authors and shit. lol. Now, that’d be some crazy. lol. I wonder if Musk “and his friends” could ever pull that one off - getting Americans to read/learn - even with their infinite money hacks

Crazy stuff. Now, hurry up and pass that shit! You’re hoggin it

There’s no need to indulge in conspiratorial thinking, here. Whatever you think of Mangione’s motives, it seems overwhelmingly likely that he did it and, if so, he will almost certainly be in jail for the rest of his life. There’s no need for them to do anything else to him. It seems as though he acted alone, so a broader anti-terrorist crackdown is possible but unlikely, and even less likely to be effective.

As for the CEOs, I imagine a lot more money is going to be spent on security and they’ll probably demand the businesses they work for pay for that, which actually seems fair, as far as it goes.

While I don’t have any sympathy for the Republicans, they didn’t seem to even consider more gun control even after Trump was actually hit by a would-be assassin’s bullet, so I doubt they will now. They might pass a law against 3D gun printing, but it’s not even slightly enforceable; I believe owning such a weapon is already illegal but, as Mangione has demonstrated, there’s not much to stop someone making or using one.

They don’t need to do anything.

No one is calling for a reform of private healthcare, they have lobbying capabilities that will make any legislation to curb them meaningless.

This is not an event that will spark much change if any change sadly.

Spend more money on PR and security. Pass those costs on to customers.

One of the outcomes from Russia’s war on Ukraine is the knowledge of how to build killer FPV drones.

The rest is covered in the short film “Slaughterbots”.

No, I don’t know how anyone will counter that future.

“Oh, there wasn’t any political agenda we need to acknowledge. He only did it because he plays radical, violent video games like Among Us. I wouldn’t be surprised if he committed suicide in prison after beating himself unconscious while all the cameras were unsuspiciously turned off.”

You literally made up fake situations in your head and got mad from it… They won’t do anything, people have the memory of a goldfish. It will blow over in a few weeks.

Found “evidence” that Luigi is a pedophile?

Seems to be their M.O. After already putting him in life in prison, first, of course. The CSAM planting stuff is just to run his name through the mud and make sure no one ever speaks positively about him again

Board members will likely approve additional pay and security detail for CEOs given the new risk associated with the role.

The NSA will intercept all of our communications and the FBI will arrest anyone they’re suspicious of
