    Economic vigilantism is really dangerous and if this isn’t a one off it’s likely an indicator that people feel like justice is unattainable.

      Justice against these people IS unattainable. Nothing fucking touches them, case and point Trump can lead a violent insurrection and nothing happens

      You could look at this as a one off, or if you want to start looking at assassinations in total then you get to include the two trump would be assassins and make a damn strong argument to your point that this is exactly what a society that refuses to hold people accountable looks like. Honestly its the same concept as when the Black Panthers started giving free breakfast to kids, if no one else is going to solve the problem, people will do it themselves.

      It’s so unattainable that it’s become something even normies understand. There are rules for us, and there are none for them. Think about how ingrained that has become in U.S. culture recently, and you’ll come to the same conclusion the vigilante did.
