It doesn’t hurt to remind the ruling class once in a while whose boss.

But yeah. A revolution will take a lot more than a targeted assination of a couple CEOs.

Does it help? Because I’m guessing what will happen here is CEOs will just get big security details and less-discerning copycats will end up killing innocent people.

And rates will continue to rise and not one less person will be denied.

In the short term yes you’re right.

But look at the populist anger this action sparked. These kind of extrajudicial killings that rile up the population, are very much associated with revolutions and changes in power. (Sometimes for good, sometimes for bad).

Dude, America just elected a plutocrat dictator. There’s not going to be socialized medicine any time in the near future and insurance companies will pass the cost of their security teams on to the people forced to pay for their needless existences.

No security is foolproof, and a security detail has precious little ability to withstand a raging mob. Importantly, there are only so many former spec ops for hire. Most of these psychopaths will have to settle for 3rd rate rentacops.

Anda security detail has previous little ability to withstand a raging mob.

Which, again, is not targeted assassination.
