    How long you think until the next revolutionary killing inspired by this one?

      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.

        I’m glad my job doesn’t make me wonder if someone might try to kill me because of it.

          I guess you’re not creative enough. You never know when a crazy ex-coworker will go postal.

          No no, nothing else he has is loose.

          We all have loose screws for not doing it

        To paraphrase the IRA:

        We got lucky today. Thing is we can be unlucky most days. They have to be lucky every day.

        Too bad this society made hundreds of millions of people with nothing to lose. It’s a shame, really.

          Good thing people can’t just go to the local grocery store and buy a rifle off the shelf capable of accurate shots hundreds of meters away with pretty much no background checks at all.

        I mean, they already hire corporate security, just slightly more frequently for now. But the expense won’t remain as justified as the memory of the killing fades.

      I give it a month. It’ll be some pro-choice person killed by a pro-birth person.

        yeah this is my only real fear, the slaying will embolden chuds to attack anyone citing this murder as their excuse.

      I hope before EOY. Keeping them close together will really stoke fear into them.
