This is the default state of society (reminds me of grumpygops story of how the zangbeto things are the system of justice). We invent government and rules and laws so this doesn’t happen randomly at least. But largely, but not solely, thanks to Trump, no one believes or trusts institutions, they’re not seen as credible, and whether you believe people are trying to break them now, or they’ve always been broken & we’re just seeing it more, I expect we’ll see more street justice.

Youre already seeing trumpism have an effect on the culture and anti gay and pro white sentiment flourishes. I think we’ll also see more it’s-not-a-crime-if-you-get-away with it sentiment too.

I’ve been saying for years we’re in a constitutional crisis. This is fundamentally corrosive to all aspects of society.

Murder is wrong, but when institutions can’t hold powerful people accountable, people will go around institutions.

going around institutions usually ends up meaning scapegoating easy targets so maybe not a societal response that we want to just shrug our shoulders about and suggest that maybe sometimes the mob is right. the mob may just show up at your door someday.

scape·goat
noun
1.
a person who is blamed for the wrongdoings, mistakes, or faults of others

Pretty sure this guy is being blamed for his own wrongdoings, being the head of the company and directly making himself rich by worsening healthcare for millions of people.

I agree 100%

The only solution is restoring credibility of institutions. We’re going to need major pro-democracy reforms, similar to what happened towards the end of the civil rights era.

This is a good article from 2014 too

https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2014/06/the-pitchforks-are-coming-for-us-plutocrats-108014

Quote :
"

Our country is rapidly becoming less a capitalist society and more a feudal society. …
If we don’t do something to fix the glaring inequities in this economy, the pitchforks are going to come for us. No society can sustain this kind of rising inequality. In fact, there is no example in human history where wealth accumulated like this and the pitchforks didn’t eventually come out. You show me a highly unequal society, and I will show you a police state. Or an uprising. There are no counterexamples. None. It’s not if, it’s when.

"I prefer not to live in a chaotic cesspool where people are murdered in the streets"


Quote :
"It is frightening to see distinguished intellectuals fall under Robespierre’s ax. From a humane standpoint they can never be too much mourned, but divine justice is no respecter of mathematicians or scientists.

Too many French intellectuals were instrumental in bringing about the Revolution; too many approved and encouraged it so long as, like Tarquin’s wand, it cut off only the ruling heads. Like so many others, they said, a great revolution cannot come about without some distress.

But when a thinker justifies such means by the end in view; when he says in his heart, a hundred thousand murders are as nothing, provided we are free; then, if Providence replies, I accept your recommendation, but you shall be one of the victims, where is the injustice?"

Apparently
-the assassin was in NYC 10 days before the shooting.
-UHC didn't announce their shareholder meeting until 2 days before the shooting
-the assassin was staying at a hotel
-the assassin came to NYC on a bus

Healthcare should not be a for-profit enterprise and the entire health insurance industry should not exist. There is nothing that can be done about it because it's "too big to fail" and no politician will be willing to dismantle the current system. So we're stuck with an extremely broken system that favors profits over health.

There is no fixing healthcare while keeping the health insurance industry alive. They have opposite goals.

I’ve never seen in America the broad open cheering of a murder like this though. Trump had his ear nicked by a bullet too…

start a new business where you make people disappear and start over like the witness protection program.

but all they have to do is pay you instead of witness a mob murder.

If he was a true pro they would have been headshots and center of mass. Additionally he left evidence behind and didn't change his clothes immediately. They recovered the backpack in Central Park. He was definitely not a professional assassin and probably will be caught eventually. They apparently have DNA.
