Come to think of it, no one ever said the thoughts and prayers had to be kind…

I’m sure his family have more than enough money to be able to sleep comfortably at night

Would be biblical. There are many prayer psalms where the author is asking God to avenge him and destroy those who hurt him.

And that would fit perfectly with the OT god who was a petty, jealous, all around annoying, piece of garbage.

I’ll never forget what he did to my boy Job.

In this case it’s more about God being fair and just.

And that description doesn’t at all fit God’s actions in the OT. Although without context and depending on the hermeneutic basis I guess it can look so.

The book of Job is a tale to teach about human nature facing adversity.

Thoughts and prayers that some of the lesser residents of hell may catch a break while the demons focus their attention on Brian Thompson.

Quite usually it’s code for ‘i don’t give a shit but will do the absolute minimum for the sake of public perception’

Literally had some apologist neoliberal try to scold everyone yesterday for finding satisfaction in this because Brian had two kids.

His policies KILLED kid’s parents, solely to increase private shareholder profits.

Their parents had to die because Brian’s ego score line had to go up faster. 🤷

And unlike his kids, the kids whose parents he killed largely don’t have blood drenched trust funds to support themselves materially.

Not just parents dying but kids too. It was this guy’s responsibility to make sure the people who managed the company would refuse as much life saving care for children as possible. I do not endorse anyone to commit murder ever, but I won’t be shedding any tears when a monster like that is shot down. I do think it’s okay to feel some sympathy for his kids, but they’re wealthy. They’ll probably be okay in time.

The kids are innocent in this and I don’t see why feeling bad for them is incompatible with being ok with their father’s death.

I wonder how much was really lost. What type of father do you think he would be? Loving? Empathetic? Caring? Supportive?

More likely he was a cunt who was probably never home.

Thoughts and prayers though.

So, if the assassin’s claim was to be rejected due to CEO policies and his life would be in danger, would he be able to say it was a self defence?

No self defense can only be claimed against someone of equal or lower economic class, or power
