This guy seemed a little iffy in his background - I would think quite a few of the right are celebrating this guy. It would make sense the elitists are trying to pacify that bunch, and try to paint this guy as some kind of leftist, though...they probably don't want the base that has been groomed for violence to suddenly get ideas about a mass movement of vigilantes like this guy stalking and killing the billionaire class.
They cannot stand the idea that people they hate might benefit, too.
I bet if they could find some way of justification via other means, for instance, over arguments of "socialism" vs. "capitalism", they would find ways to make sure POC, liberals, women, gays, etc., do not benefit from the current system as well.
Of course, they really pine for someone - maybe donvict - that will let them do it out in the open, w/o the facade of "socialism" vs. "capitalism".
Honestly, I think about the only outcome would be that the C-suites, the billionaire class and their apparatchiks just step up security. It's not like murdering a handful of C-suite types or even their billionaire overlords will change anything. They'll just swap in a new person that is just as willing to fuck everyone over. The billionaire overlords will just pass that money on to their foundation/offspring.
I think elmo already has a lot of security, yes? And remember how much he whined and threatened the guy that was just posting public data about elmo's jet location?
