I know adventurism like this would probably lead to life getting worse for all of us somehow. But I'm just feeling really jokerfied lately and want to see the hogs get scared for once. I hope if it happens again they get Musk or Theil because they're so goddamn annoying, but capping an insurance board member or majority stake holder would be pretty cool.

If this happens again, even if it doesnt maybe, i expect to see massive crackdowns nationwide on mask wearing. Itll be made illegal to cover your face and wear a hood in public. Theyll push even harder for facial recognition and try to track everyones movements. Theyll push harder to phase out cash since cash is harder to track. Make inter-state travel without an ID impossible. Etc. Theyll go full surveilance state mask off fash to protect their own.

Too bad you really no longer need to be positioned within a straight shot of someone to permanently interrupt their biological functioning.

All that security for nothing.

Technically, wearing a mask in public is already illegal in NYS.

Scientology used that law to great effect during Chanology. Lots of peeps got arrested for wearing masks while protesting them.

I don't see how they could feasibly ban interstate travel without an ID. Even if they put checkpoints at state line crossings on every single Interstate highway there are probably dozens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of other roads they would have to account for. In Rhode Island alone I counted 154 roads that cross into Connecticut or Massachusetts which don't lead to dead ends.

require ID for all non-personal vehicles, and then use cameras to track the plates of all cars going across state lines. So theyd be able to ID the vast majority of people.

Revolution being gig economy'd seems like such a modern western way of doing it though.

[-] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 3 points 2 weeks ago

Damn, good point. The revolution will be live streamed on subscription only.

The guy seemed very prepared. I doubt there are many like him. The assassination attempts done on Trump for example felt like my first attempt at a Hitman level.

[-] Bidentime@hexbear.net 42 points 2 weeks ago

Honestly it seems like any level headed person could pull this off. Especially with the formula already proven.

The trump assassinations one was a kook and the guy on the roof only really missed because Trump is so queeny and moves around so much. The cops where told about him. Hell one went up and immediately disengages and runs away. The cops and ss didn't care.

The usa is filled with incompetence at most levers of power and control.

[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 9 points 2 weeks ago

Not to mention he aimed for the head from rifle range. If he had resisted his gamer instincts and gone center mass, Trump would be dead

[-] merthyr1831@lemmy.ml 35 points 2 weeks ago

imagine thinking it was a one and done hit and seeing the reaction, knowing you'll have to do it again to satisfy the demands for bourgeois blood from the proles

[-] MemesAreTheory@hexbear.net 23 points 2 weeks ago

I have to imagine this took months if not years of planning. Can't expect one man to do the whole job himself. sicko-crowd

[-] chickentendrils@lemmy.ml 24 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

There's absolutely people chomping at the bit but without reliable support I think they'll not execute for various reasons. If there's any self-preservation or doubt that the public will just acquit anyone for these kinds of actions (probably best odds are medical insurance CEOs). Doing it all alone and not getting caught is just so damn hard.

Our hero really put themself out there. I'm wondering if they considered any other tools for the job. I hope we never find out, but did they know about the lack of security detail? If it seemed like they would be apprehended immediately, would they have waited for another opportunity? Maybe they have been close before, that would be something.

[-] Des@hexbear.net 14 points 2 weeks ago

yeah my belief is possibly practice runs done in the past. would be a good explanation for if this guy isn't combat trained.

the weather and situation this time was perfect so he executed it

[-] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 19 points 2 weeks ago

It feels so good to watch them cope

[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I hope D-word poetry gets big, and the next one just says "Die Demoralized, Dumbass"

[-] PurrLure@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago

I hope there are so many copycats that even Hexbear can't keep track of them.

[-] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago

"i just can't keep track of all these dead CEOs" <- me in the cool timeline

[-] stigsbandit34z@hexbear.net 4 points 2 weeks ago

I hope someone goes after their boss next and sends the whole hierarchy toppling down 🤞
