Should we make positive changes so people aren't driven to kill our CEO's and executives?
Naw, just increase our security budget...

trenchTMK
Yeah, that’s the solution….
BwianOfNazareth
You know, I always thought these people are so ridiculously well paid because they are "taking all the risk". And now they are just hiding?
IdiotSavantTinker
How many bodyguards do you think they will hire before these security companies relax their hiring standards? Every goon hired is one step closer to an unvetted armed person walking next to the wealthy.
snowinmyboots
They should learn to” Duck and cover”
HisRoyalMajestyKingV
Utterly predictable that THIS was the response rather than getting rid of monstrous practices.
YoungCore
Guess they will have to increase the premiums to cover those security costs. /s
If only there was another way to stop people from wanting to kill them?
HeywouldJablowme
They already have the entire militarized American police force protecting them. Funny how that's not enough. Almost like, they're evil people.
RememberBeingSuper
The ones who go in to hiding do so because they know they should be a target.
modis
CEOs somehow thinking they can scrub their digital profiles is hilarious to me
drduffer
Root cause analysis will show that the problem isn’t healthcare at its core, it’s unfettered and immoral
Capitalism and profiteering that’s the ultimate issue.
The701
+1 for the whole comment, but I'd +1 again just for "root cause analysis."
MightyIink
Bulletproof limos are going to be popular in 2025.
IdiotSavantTinker
Too bad those are easily identifiable, and capable of being stopped long enough to build a big fire underneath.
OptimusPom
CEO's are going to have armored escorts and armored cars as they continue to squeeze the life out of their "customers".
Handyolo
Oh you sweet summer child. You thought they would CHOOSE to stop prioritising profits over people? Why would they stop when they're only killing the ceos? It's not like the shareholders are really at risk!
Fuz77
Spending tons of money to step up security
But not
Spending any money to accept claims
DWolf
Guess which is cheaper?
TheBigMcC
Thoughts n prayers ….
Fuz77
...to people in need who saw their claims denied.
TheBigMcC
I like this …
loopadoop
They didn’t get where they are by caring about other people. Of course they increased their security budget. Now they’re just afraid that we’re lunatics.
IrishPub
These people always learning the wrong lessons.
Subtilico
They must be hiring so much new security staff now. Great job opportunities.
suiseiseki
Bet they're forgetting the golden rule of security: Your guards will kill for you but they will never die for you.
Silvergreylion
They're also not realizing what the stress of a constant threat to them will do to them in the long run.
Shaodyn
Stop doing the things that are causing people to want them dead? No way, profit would go up slightly slower and they'd cry. Just hire security so it's harder for randos to kill them.
Shaodyn
They wouldn't even lose profit they already had, they'd just make slightly less. Which is totally unacceptable.
ElbowDeepInAHorse
Nobody tell them about the Wayback Machine.
ReplyingAI
Wayback Machine is not unregulated and you can easily take down any record. You should know this Twily, you nerd.
ElbowDeepInAHorse
Twily you fool!
Futchm
Security details are cheaper than paying claims
No surprise that they go for profits instead of people
ki4clz
the details are free actually... https://www.sec.gov/edgar/search/
MerriMod
The predictable response from the CEOs. Instead of changing their ways to make it so people don't celebrate them getting assassinated, they just double down on making themselves harder to assassinate so they can continue fucking over the entire nation in relative peace.
GoneSolo
Just more dead no matter what's side you advocate for.
chrispandaboss
Not saying anyone would or should but security detail is useless when a 30 08 is fired at 300 yards away. Again no body should do that I’m just saying security is better with an isolated building other than 8 guys trying to defend one. Or even 50 guys trying.
chrispandaboss
Smartest thing to do is buy a secure mansion and just live there. Or an island and just live there.
lunatic02
These security guards have families that get sick too
ThrowAwayAcct0000
And I bet they get the crappiest health insurance, just like everyone else.
wadatahmydamie
One of these security guards has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever
VaultGirl69
The public response has been delight. Which means more people are going to do it. If not for losing someone because they couldn't afford care, then at least for the infamy. Which is still a kind of fame. Bullets usually hit their targets before you hear them. Security detail is about prevention, and a bit there as a body shield. Or canon fodder.
theworldcouldbeflat
Your wrong the whole thing was a distraction so you forget about the Canada invasion, nobody is going to get around to killing CEO's he was probably just Trumps enemy.
VaultGirl69
Whaaaaa?...
theworldcouldbeflat
In my Canadian meme groups the conversation people are having is that this guy is a false flag that probably hated Trump. Basically Trump announced he was invading Canada and a news story about a "CEO" getting shot seems to have drowned it out, he is not even CEO. Basically US media walked away from the invasion story to cover some guy getting shot. That seems particularly offensive to Canadians cause someone gets shot everyday in the US and they are lying about him being the CEO.
VaultGirl69
That's some next level conspiracy stuff. He says a lot of stupid things and we've never stopped him before. Remember when people were injecting bleach to prevent Covid? That is something he told people to do. And a handful of us were like, "Well, he is the president", then proceeded to inject themselves with bleach.
JamesTDG
So, you're saying we got to put extra effort into making these details far too expensive?
Futchm
That's one solution
Another is making health care a publicly funded utility destroying all profit to be made off promising healthcare but not giving it
Silvergreylion
Considering who's going to be running the US by the end of January, good luck with that.
KingXizor
Oh, that's what we want, but when protest, pleading, and politics fail violence sadly may be all that will work.
Betterbecauseofthem
And they will pass the expense on to the American consumer
JesusofMethlehem
meanwhile, this is supposedly a gun owned by a private US citizen. (No sound on this one, but there DOES exist a video with the sound)
Exdeath5000
Looks like a Quad M45 gun mount modified with mini-guns instead of Browning 50 cals.
Exdeath5000
It is, found it
ISofaKingWeeToddDid
If share prices went up following the death of the CEO, shouldn’t the companies place the onus for security on the individual?
onlyawfulnamesleft
Okay, that is the most Cyberpunk shit I've seen in a while. "You're it, but you have to sub-contract your muscle."
Noahbalboa82
Called it. 1st take down employee info, then hire security detail. Hold off being too shitty for a month, maybe till Jan 20 when the orange turd takes office and sucks in all the media attention. Then carry on as always. I think it's time to take to the streets in protest and carry guillotines. Keep reminding them we remember
IdiotSavantTinker
Firearms are easier to carry than guillotines.
Jackrabbitry
Are you not paying attention? He intends to use the military to crack down on any kind of large scale protests. I really think we're doomed as a free people. I doubt there will be any mid-term elections.
IrishPub
The Orange Turd dragging attention away might be a good thing. Gives someone a chance to knock another CEO off the board.
prosper020
Always look for the positives of a situation.
Sidewaysgts
Look these shootings are a fact of life. We just need to move on and get on with our lives. Thoughts and prayers.
TheMurderousCricket
No worries. I bet they forgot to remove their pictures from LinkedIn.
SmashySashimi
Well that and there’s archive.org.

BeaArthur69
$10.2 million!? Those a̶r̶e̶ were rookie numbers.
RedHedZed
Maybe "Lynch" is an instruction rather than a last name?
PapaJoeNH
One dude gets killed and creates a whole corporate culture shift. A bunch of kids get slaughtered at school, *shrug* "what are we gonna do?"
sadurdaynight
financial darwinism. Kids aren't profitable yet, and they're changing laws/rules to force people to crank out more. Kids are just a number on a spreadsheet to them, so as long as they have a surplus being created to replace shootings, healthcare deaths, etc, they're ok with it. But, a CEO.. that person has high-value potential for the rich folks.
Tumescentpie
If the crazy 2aBros killed ceos at half the rate they killed school children we'd have new strict gun control laws before February.
Also remember the cops work for the rich. Most investigations would be over after 48 hours (that's usually when they give up due to the circular logic that it's when it is a good time to give up). But I'm willing to bet they find someone to pin this on inside of a month.
gsynth
one rich white dude > thousands of kids. They just couldn't make it any clearer.
imakesoap
And how many actual crimes aren’t being investigated because so many resources are being used for the one incident
Bukoden
No change. Those resources weren't being used for other crime investigations to begin with.
tg2222222
I see what you're saying but they're not equal entities. Private companies can do their own thing, public schools are at the whims of government?
hwatL4bloopy
That's correct, there haven't been significant private school shootings to make the shift.
darkninja2992
So, clearly this means that one death is a big deal but many is not, so how many CEOs will it take before it stops being a big deal is the question
PestlePesterer
Traumatize kids with active shooter drills? Put in place ineffective backpack bans?
GIMike1972
Bb-but my backpack is my BODY ARMOR!!!
putcleverusernamehere
Except there was zero corporate culture shift
PapaJoeNH
Except the one that the executives must be protected and shielded from public scrutiny at all costs
PapaJoeNH
putcleverusernamehere
Made my point perfectly
Bukoden
Promise you won't do this illegal thing. We know you would be hesitant to break the law, but you wouldn't break the law AND a promise, right?
GIMike1972
Fuck. That. Job.
majorPUFFEN2
Have more shootings at private schools for the rich
saganworshipper
Really? Is there data? I ask cuz there are way more public schools.
FrogDelay
I wanna laugh, but damn
majorPUFFEN2
I hear you. In all honest all that would do is cause the schools to hire better security and arm the teachers
GIMike1972
Or they'll start hiring soldiers to be armed teachers...ffs
OceanCitySoul
A school gets shot up and we are told to get over it.
reicherManager
Even worse, some come out and say it never happened at it's all just a big conspiracy and everyone who says they were there when it happens is a paid actor. It's disgusting.
JackSmiles2
oh lawd...IN BEFORE they start saying it was ANTIFA!
TrumpGarglesHorseSemen
Not saying something needs to happen but maybe if it was a rich person's school they'd be more interested in doing something. They don't care about us poors.
Redyls
MeatPopsicleMultiPass
Honestly, and I'm not super familiar with the story, but I'm surprised there wasn't an issue with that one CEO who bought a literal island and forced business and people out.
gingersnapdragon
Closed the HQ? Oh now we don't need to return to the office and can work from home?
FaceplantingCheetah
I would bet good money this will soon only apply to C-level exces. The rest will be back to the office.
