Wouldn’t need security if they didn’t do things that caused them to need security.
Their security will need security.
Everyone sleeps.
Everyone has a home.
Those who defend them will likely receive the same message.
Deny. Defend. Depose.
If you’re an executive and think you need security, you don’t need security.
You need to resign.
This guy was an absolute amateur, he hadn’t even adjusted his return spring for subsonic rounds.
They need to be worried about pissing off a former sharpshooter with nothing to lose. If they think they’re keeping their client safe from a high-caliber Sako in the hands of someone that knows how to use it, they’re dreaming.
Ah, so that’s why he had to rack the slide in-between shots. Yeah, that’s stuff only an absolute gun nerd is going to take into account without having practiced.
Enough familiarity with his firearm that he can clear FTF/FTE without hesitation, not enough time to familiarize himself with suppressor mechanics and effect on handgun cycling. I wouldn’t be overly surprised if this was a recent form 4 registration.
I’m betting it’s a Temu “oil filter” not a proper suppressor that requires paperwork. Shooter clearly knew they were cutting corners but practiced to deal with it anyhow.
That’s wild, I didn’t even know that was a thing. I wonder if he’d have had better luck buying a US-made piston off the shelf and finding an “oil filter” that fits.
Maybe that’s what the shooter wants us to think… 🤔
I’m watchin you bucko
ITT: people who don’t know what a Nielsen device is.
His “solvent trap” kit built, or street obtained suppressor was not equipped with a Nielsen device, also known as a “piston” or “booster” that allows handguns with a tilting barrel design to cycle with the added weight of a suppressor.
You don’t adjust springs for subsonic loads. That’s not a thing. His can didn’t have a Nielsen device. Simple as.
On an auto loading rifle platform you could adjust an adjustable gas block if the weapon is equipped with one, allowing you to tune the gas pressure to ensure reliable function, but a Nielsen device is necessary on any modern handgun that doesn’t have a fixed barrel design.
Not trying to dunk on you, just trying to educate, because I keep seeing a lot of fanciful interpretations of how firearms function.
You’re good thank you for the info, in this and my other comment my point is that unless one is a gun enthusiast there is little chance we are going to know these things. I have a family member and a friend that would know all this but they spend a lot of time a money with their hobby, me by comparison, am am absolute casual.
It’s fun to learn about over the years but it’s a deep fucking rabbit hole for sure.

Also, when I did my first competitive shooting circuit my gun jammed, I struggled with clearing the obstruction and carrying on, lost a ton of time. This guy reracked the shots pretty calmly and cleanly, certainly was familiar with this gun and ammo combo.
Maybe they should investigate why so many Americans are clapping for the guy who shot a CEO
Everyone is just assuming that he was killed on behalf of a disgruntled (or dead) customer. But it could have been another rich person killing him for rich people reasons.
The words on the bullets seem designed to make very clear why he was killed.
I first didn’t know what you meant, but just checked and articles say they were “deny”, “defend”, “depose”.
Though I see people posting this:

Perhaps it really were: “delay”, “deny”, “defend”
Back in the middle ages, the code of chivalry came to basically be a gentlemen’s agreement between nobles which was generally adhered to even in times of war: “hey, there aren’t very many of us, so kill all the peasants you want but try to just capture and ransom the nobles.”
I wonder if there’s a similar agreement among the 1% today.
It’s a big club and you ain’t in it
Mathematically speaking, almost no one is.
There aren’t enough of these events for that to not be the case.
That’s kind of what I was thinking.
I’ve been depressed since the election, this is the first glimmer of hope I’ve had in a while. It’s gross, and I am not proud of feeling this way, but maybe things will work out?
My hands are sore from all the clapping. In another thread, another community, same topic, I had called for ALL corrupt CEOs to be shot until they learn these human lives they control have consequences.
I did not recieve a warning. I did not recieve a ban. I didn’t even recieve the normal arguement from the other side that EVERY opinion gets backlash from.
Everyone seems to be on the same side on this one. He had it coming. I would be shocked if any jury convicted. Even if they do catch the guy.
I just tell people that Police and law were mostly created to separate rich from poor. The assassination is a wake up call to the rich when the said separation fails.
It’s almost as if the masses know the games the ultra wealthy play and despite the rules to try and enable them further we just don’t agree that it’s right. There’s a simple and clear understanding that these people are pure evil.
I can only imagine how many people die from poverty derived situations because this man directed the business to deny, delay and defend.
The MAGA folks I knew in 2016 liked Bernie because he hated billionaires too.
If MAGA folks hate billionaires, they have some odd and glaring blind spots.
To be fair, until that unholy grift of trump media going public, trump was only a billionaire on paper due to wildly and illegally overvalued properties.
Weird way of justifying MAGA voting for Trump. He fellates billionaires constantly.
Ignorance, misinformation, and propaganda better explain his Cult of Personality.
I’m not even American and I still applaud the guy.
You’re a human. And CEOs of healthcare gatekeepers are fucking not. Fuck ‘em all. Guillotines for the motherfuckers, but this works too.
“It turns out that if we just settled for being very rich instead of constantly trying to wring more and more out of the people who can barely get by, they’d stop wanting us dead.”
“So, build a doomsday bunker?”
“Yes, and raise prices to pay for it.”
“Fuck the poors.”
“Animals.”
Security upgrades are something they can do on day 1. Real changes aren’t going to be as easy
Have they tried not killing people through a system of exploitation, cost pushing onto taxpayers, destruction of our Earth, routinely denying the service they are supposed to provide?
That’s the only treatment covered by the sympathy policy for these Fortune 500 companies. They may send a dispute claim within 30 days.
Have they tried not killing people through a system of exploitation, cost pushing onto taxpayers, destruction of our Earth, routinely denying the service they are supposed to provide?
Mmmmmmmm…nope. Haven’t tried that.
Gosh I just feel so sorry for all of them. I can’t imagine the struggle.
Death to the bourgeoisie!
I like how the lesson is not — maybe our extreme greed has brewed a resentment across the country that is boiling over because of how desperate people have become, maybe we should lay off on the income inequality and share enough with our neighbor such that they can live happy lives. Instead it’s, let’s take a look at our corporate security and beef it up.
Usher in the oligarchy. Soon enough each Fortune 500 CEO will live in a castle with a private army at their command.
The saddest part for me is knowing that they’ll find an army of bootlickers who’ll cash their checks.
One needs to pay for the roof over their heads and put food on the table.
Just want to say how much I appreciate Lemmy.
Reddit is censoring a lot of posts about this. There’s nothing but jokes here. Reddit is only allowing them most luke warm takes
The best security is not being a criminal in a C-suit. Absolutely nothing can save a person from a competent lone wolf attacker. Unless the targeted person never steps into public view or transits.
Removed, this is internal US news, not World News.
Shareholders can’t stop talking about this one trick to make their stocks go up.
Saw this on reddit today, missed it 10 years ago when it was published:

Good read, I think that guy gets it.
Wow, what a great article. It’s refreshing to read a wise take from a rich person, he seems like a smart dude. Too bad it has only gotten worse in the past decade, thanks to his fellow rich folks.
I do agree but we are fast heading to a reality where money controls everything. We are heading straight to those dystopian realities so well known from computer games, books and movies that we don’t believe will happen.
Long gone are the times when people can really alter the status quo. Now money is the king, only money can change the status quo, and the top 1% doesn’t want this to change. So they will pour as much money as possible to ensure that they will never be overthrown.
See how lobbies rule the political agenda, not people. Do you think anything will change in the future? I don’t, I simply think that the wealth accumulated by the super rich will only grow, leaving the rest of us to scramble for crumbs.

I’m uncertain whether or not the wax man come-to-life can be killed by conventional weapons.
Idk why but my bones tell me he dies in a very pitiful way. Like falls out of a window or something.
I feel like you could fund a hit squad with the market signals that happen after offing an executive.
