Agreed. This was easily preventable by megacorporations not doing their level best to turn the world and everyone's lives in it into shit, simply for the sake of a few more dollars.

Once again, the wrong lessons are being learnt. Close security just means a sniper nests somewhere. CEOs are not the president.

The lesson is - don't be a cunt.

From the article, just so you know why this happened:

Threats against corporations have been rising for years, fueled in part by the echo chamber of social media and a more polarized political environment, according to security professionals.

This is an ad for a private security company, not news.

Edit: It's also in poor taste, the guy hasn't even been buried yet.

It was preventable. Entirely. By not having an algorithm deny 90% of health claims. By not denying people the right to health. By not profiting off of literally taking money from people to sometimes pay for sick people.

But no, actually, the problem is he didn't have personal security /s.

Life is a pre-existing condition.

I didn't choose it, but I suffer the same.

Same with the bipolar disorder and epilepsy.

American health care execs, as well as other CEOs need to realize that blood has been shed in the name of the people, not corporations.

I don't advocate for violence, but if these "dragons" start dying in the name of profits over life, I won't shed a tear when the millions who want to live sort out the trolley problem of capitalism themselves.

Also: Just because they aren't health insurance CEOs doesn't mean they haven't taken their own pound of flesh in the name of the all mighty dollar.

Time to get some drones. These assholes aren’t safe anymore. They hit a deep nerve and managed to unify an otherwise divided populace.

Zero questions showing ability to introspect. No one asking if perhaps the business model is messed up. No, let's spend some of our looted cash to hire more security.

Violent public outrage could be a real boon for the private security industry. Probably a good time to invest. Maybe a good time to invest in gun sellers, too. Could be a civilian arms race. There's real profit potential in the collapse of civil society.

People keep saying Trump is bringing us into The Handmaid's Tale, but I think we're going to arrive at The Purge first.

Crazy how even this thumbnail and the photo within the article have different color backpacks. So much for investigating journalism.
