it's starting
If I have to choose between an America where Executives live in fear that one day they could be the next headline, and one where the same thing happens but it's to school children?
Not much of a choice
Easy choice
His name better fucking be Mario.
The Marios of the world probably be thinking deep thoughts about right now…
I wonder if this new trend will stop some CEOs from forcing RTO. Harder to stab over the computer 🤔
No, they'll just WFH. They're important and make the rules, so clearly the rules don't apply to them.
Still not safe:
Holy crap.
I've never seen that before; and I'm 58.
I love it.
Got any more pixels? I wanna read it
He probably gave them a membership to the jelly of the month club instead of a Christmas bonus.
Top reference, I will always upvote the greatest christmas movie of all time
It’s the gift that keeps on giving all year…
Bubba ain't gonna like those braces. He'll probably rip them off his teeth.
More like this please. Enough of these parasites destroying the planet and forcing us to live as slaves.

Workplace violence has always been a thing in the US. As a phenomena, it predates the era of school shootings. It's so common that I feel comfortable predicting that this man's motives were a personal grievance, not class warfare.
There may be a personal grievance, but what are the chances that if he had better work conditions, that the personal grievance he had would have driven him to this?
While true, how many of those workplace incidents involved someone from the executive level?
Depending on the grievance it might still be "class warfare" depending on how loosely you define it.
"Going postal" was a thing.
It was a thing before Columbine, cause man, I remember the talks at school about that.
The class was brought out, we sat under a tree, and were allowed to talk about our feelings.
One of my bullies looked me dead in the eye, and said something along the lines of "Its always the quiet ones."
I'm surprised I didn't have to talk to anyone after looking him dead in the eye back and replying "Yeah, it is." Just letting it hang in the air.
I will say, he no longer bullied me after that.
That's ok, I had another bully who learned the hard way that if pushed far enough, I would break bones if provoked enough. Last day of school that year. He clotheslined me and put me in a choke hold when I was running a football, you know, playing like a kid on the last day of school. He still had a hold as we got up, him behind me. When my vision started to dim, I stomped the arch of his foot (multiple fractures, lot of bones there) to get out, then turned and broke his nose with one punch.
It all stopped after that.
Because my teachers were aware of the bullying (thanks for stopping it, assholes) I didn't get in any trouble. This was at the beginning of zero tolerance talks. It was a policy the next school year.
The Postal video game series was quite directly based on the trend of postal workers going crazy and killing people in the 80s and 90s.
I'm aware, I didn't feel the need to reference the game series.
Zero Tolerance = Bully Enabling
You're not wrong.
A school year of bullying stopped by a decisive punch?
Clearly both are the same. Not one kid being tormented to the point of violence in self defense because they couldn't fucking breathe anymore, over the whole school year. Not something the teachers, our so called care takers, could have nipped in the bud a LONG time ago. No, clearly, both kids are violent offenders.
I mean if school shootings are acceptable and there's the chance for many many victims, America should quite happily accept CEO murders to continue.
One one way violence will be tolerated in the workplace, and it's not from the lower class!!

All the companies I've worked for have said they're more like families. Families fight sometimes. I think all of these matters should remain between family members.
"This isn't a business. I've always thought of it more of a source of cheap labour, like a family."
Class war finally coming out in the open? One can hope
Since Europe does whatever 'merica does, I can't wait for this trend to arrive here.
I was kinda hoping we’d take a page from French history books on this one, all you need is a little wood, a little steel, and gravity to really get things rolling
Why wait? CEOs are killing thousands through their decisions right now and even more later through their actions. Theres no time to waste waiting!
