It's a Hydra. Cut off one head, there's 5 waiting to take this guy's place.

Eh, hydras aren't made up of individuals who have a desire to be alive.

Not that I'm advocating for it, but I imagine if you kept killing folks then you'd eventually get to someone who liked "breathing" more than "money."

Yea but this is a one off thing, nobody is going to keep shooting people like him because otherwise it would have already happened many times.

This murder was probably another asshole, he knew, putting a hit on him

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 6 points 1 year ago

I suspect it'll be something he was doing in his personal life that got him killed.

And make it funny okay?

A huh OK boss!....runs away, gets on a city bike and disappears into the sunset.

Needed a single clown horn honk after the guy got popped.

BANG!. honk-ie. *strolls off into sunset.

I would believe that in those spheres of power they would have booked a hitman with better hardware and training. His pistol could not properly cycle and he took quite long between shots. Also he had the possibility to move up to the guy and shoot him in the back of the head to save some time but preferred to shot multiple into his back from further away. For me it seems more likely it was an act of Vigilantism.

It happened in France for example. Now it would not be public killings by guillotine of course but multiple independent attacks by ied/gun/fpv against guys like that ceo are surely thinkable.

You cut off a few more heads, and they'll start to be a little more cautious with their shitty actions.

[–] Tinidril@midwest.social 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Meaning they will use healthcare dollars to hire more security.

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Of course they'll also have to increase their margins to account for that.

Wishful thinking. They will double down on their shitty actions while surrounded by more security than a monarch.

[–] Olgratin_Magmatoe@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

There is a limit to how much that kind of security can help.

[–] boywar3@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I guess the logical progression is to go after the most accessible level...meaning eventually the office workers would probably be a target, which isn't great.

That, or people go after, like, their extended families instead...which isn't exactly great either...

Maybe flooding a country with firearms and putting them into its constitution isn't such a good idea

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago

Worst case there is they have to pay for it and more money goes to working people. If they're in a serious threat of danger, I'm sure security costs increase too.

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Well that just sounds like a direct wealth distribution method.
