Murdered C.E.O.

In case you don’t know the story…

Recently, some dude shot the CEO of some medical corporation dead. Seemingly it was a protest for the way the medical industry treats people. Lots of people sided with the shooter. A comedian likened the CEO to a member of organized crime, an insider trader. A white collar criminal. The thing is, they will hire or appoint a new CEO, possibly someone even worse, more corrupt. Was the protest effective? Or was the only thing it accomplished breaking a family with a tragedy?

As Wordsworth said, karma is a bitch. You embrace violence and other darkness, it mainly poisons you. When you murder someone in cold blood, you now owe a debt you really don’t want collected on—I believe that. Odds are, this CEO was a hollow scumbag, an Arizona white smile keeping the diseased snakes from slithering out. Nevertheless, his children lost a father. Maybe he was a good father, a good husband despite everything else—

And, let’s be real, his death changes nothing about this broken, fucked up system.

Statements are great, clearly this murder as a statement has resonated with a lot of people. but us working people live in a world controlled by wealthy people like this dead CEO. Any physical violence we can deal out they can return a million fold. They own the senators and those in congress, they set the policy of presidents—

If you want to change things you have to play a long game, you have to be smarter.

You want to change things, you fuck with the money because money is the blood that keeps the corporate vampires alive.

Violence is like a paper suit; the first time you go out in the rain it will betray you...
