There is the chance that he decided that he wanted to get caught, or at least he’s not bothered one way or the other…. Maybe he wants the attention of a “show trial”… 🤷🏻‍♂️

A youtube video has appeared on his account that appears to have been scheduled for just after his arrest.

So maybe it was this guy, but everything hes done from the moment he shot the bloke has made him seem cooler and cooler.

 

Message on the bullet casings, decoy backpack full of monopoly money, planning his own arrest.

If it is him, he clearly intended to be caught - which is powerful in a way because now he's something tangible that people can rally around. They will put him on trial but his gofundme will raise considerable money, also showing that people support him and causing the media to have a rough time. The risk they have is if he's solely focused on being anti-rich. Then he could appeal to all houses of the argument rather than just left or right.

 

I do hope his background is whiter than white though, because if they get the sense that he's becoming a symbol they'll be digging for anything they can find to break support for the guy.

 

Interesting test case for revolution.

In the past year an American health insurance company announced that it would cut cover if a patient was under anaesthetic past an arbitrary time limit. So if your surgery has complications, you're on your own and the first you'll know about it is when you wake up. Then instead of focusing on your recovery you can focus on the fact that you're now financially insolvent. 

 

Who has this idea in the first place, and who is the animal that thinks it sounds like a good plan, and approves it? I'm not saying the answer is to shoot an insurance CEO in the street, but that single act causes way less human misery than that policy. 

 

It wasn't this bloke's company btw.

They actually reversed this policy a few days ago :lol: They've claimed it's because widespread disinformation about it exists, but the timing was basically within 24 hours of the shooting.

On a related note… when I first chatted about my eosophillic asthma diagnosis and treatment on here it was pointed out to me by a poster who was very well qualified to know that what was keeping me alive was costing the state  £12k a year and made sure that I was aware that had I to be approved for treatment, it was assessed that I as a person was of sufficient value to UK society to warrant this outlay for the rest of my life….
