I don’t want anyone to actually die… but I hope rich people being afraid of being shot at really sends the message home about gun violence so that we can get some assault weapons band or something
Im pretty ok with many folks dying myself. Lots of folks die every day but they are by and large not the right ones.
Unfortunately violence of that nature has a tendency to cause actions that make life harder in the poor and lower classes. Especially minorities. If we go around whacking CEOs it will be all the excuse Trump needs to turn us into a complete Police State. Which he might do anyway.
regardless though those ceo's are making decisions that make life harder in the poor and lower classes. Heck even the working and middle classes. Heck the upper middle, lower upper. Even makes life worse for the wealthiest of wealthiest but they are too stupid to realize it in many cases (some actually do recognize it and have done things like call for more taxes and regulation). So the harder life is happening regardless and as you said the turning into a police state can happen with and without it.
True enough.
