We live in a capitalist dystopia

You know what would be a really mean thing to do that no one should try to arrange? After Brian Thompson's successor is named, find out where they're spending their next vacation and get as many people in the area as possible to walk around dressed like Thompson's assassin.

What? I very specifically said that no one should try to set up that scenario. They especially should not do it on, say, a cruise, where the successor would be trapped in a limited area and have a much harder time avoiding all the people dressed as their predecessor's killer who will in all likelihood still be at large.

Oh, someone is going to jail over this. I wouldn't be surprised if UH lawyers demand to skip the jury trial because specifically of the internets reaction. I don't suppose it even matters anymore if they're guilty: so long as the rest of us get the message not to step out of line.

So I guess we need to keep killing billionaires.

It's almost open season lads, chins up and heads down.

Don't dawdle, boyos. There are only 2,780 of them. Just imagine the look on your hunting buddies' faces when they see that you're one of the lucky few to have a billionaire's head mounted on your wall.

Just remember kids, despite his net worth don't kill Steven Tyler of Aerosmith. They get a pass for writing our anthem "Eat The Rich."

That's the beauty of it. With it being a capital murder trial he HAS to have a jury trial.

I defy you to find a billion dollar company that gives one whit about beauty.

But I hope you're right. Though if you are, I suspect the jury will still be a massive point of contention: you can't find people that haven't been fucked over by the health industry, nor will you find 13 multi millionaires who will voluntarily sit for jury duty.

This is going to go badly no matter what happens. If he's found not guilty: the rich will scream about it and punish society. If he's found guilty: the masses will scream (rightly) even more so about a two tier justice system. I can easily see this becoming an "arab spring" moment for the US.

I'm also looking forwards to hearing about the denied claim that provided a motive. I'm sure that will spark some debate.

Could we please start with the one who's about to become a fascist dictator?
