dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

It's CNN so take it with a grain of salt, but the talking heads are leaning into this being a hit man. Which on the one hand is disappointing because I wanted it to be a comrade but on the other, we get to see factions of the bourgeoisie fighting each other in broad daylight popcorn-time

The media are never ever going to float the idea that a regular pissed off person would do this as an act of revenge/retribution/justice. It has to be a non ideological act, or the act of a madman. They cannot possibly offer any other explanation because simply recognizing the idea that the 99% can use violence to scare their oppressors is too threatening to be acknowledged.

The sob pieces over this waste of breath make me sick

I'm guessing the talking heads don't know shit.

It's been less than 24 hrs.

The police don't know shit either.

Is a hitman theory plausible?

Sure, of course.

Are other theories plausible?

Yes, obviously, duh.

Wouldn't be the first time a particularly aggreived and/or aggrevated individual put in the work to learn how to do something like this, in the manner they did it in.

Nobody knows shit right now, the talking heads are talking out their assess, no actual evidence to support anything beyond what us goobers in this thread have.

Gotta hire the hitman for a reason. This means a Hitman is more affordable than medical coverage. That says just as much if not more about America

i heard that the nypd decided it was a personal grudge against the company but i didn't really look into it. i feel like they're likely to say it's a hitman just for propaganda value, like don't get any ideas proletariat
