He’s worried that his son could have been in danger, while he gives no fucks about the hundreds of children who will be harmed.
What’s in this data center deal for him?
A donation to his reelection campaign.
Exactly. And they’ll make sure to build it far away from his house
This… Isn’t bad news.
For a moment I wondered if it even belonged here.
Wait this isn’t /c/UpliftingNews?
Fuck them clankers.
Are you for the people? Or for the corporation? That is what is at stake these days it seems.
Corporations have more money, and money is protected speech. 😞
This guy was shooting at people. Including an 8-year-old child.
Seems like he was shooting at a house to send a message, and your comment is what the owner of that house would say to turn the public against those resisting tech’s intrusion on our communities. Which will ACTUALLY hurt a lot of 8 year old girls.
I’m sure “I was just trying to send a message, your honor” will hold up well in court.
Ice is legal too. Slavery was too. What is your point ?
So shooting the children of politicians you disagree with over economic policies is akin to resisting slavery, by your standards? This is getting ridiculous.
Seems to work well for the us in other nations. I mean this guy could shoot a kid every 12 hours for the rest of his life and never come close to the us in terms of killing children due to disagreements over economic policies.
That better than crying about hypothetical hurting of a child while ignoring the child rapists and killing of far more children in other countries. I think my priorities are well defined. I don’t hope his child are hurt but I can easily understand why some people may feel that.
Hey people, another non feeling idiot right here. Get 'em while they are hot!
Lol nice one. Maybe people from US should stop killing and raping children or stop enabling these kind of people and I would care for the familly of their leaders. You cry for one may have been hurted child while ignoring genocide. I think my priorities are well placed, are yours ?
I responded to you by mistake I was posting to the person above you. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Fait enough. I noticed your reaction didn’t match your history. But I couldn’t let it slip
Seem like he didn’t hurt anybody and he passed a message I approve. I would condemn him if he hurted the said 8 year old but her dad is planning to hurt many more people, and somebody said that they won’t let their child be hurted. Why are you white knighting ?
That’s horrible
Indeed. But also apparently very popular in this news community.
Leopard eat my face kind of news is always popular.
OK. So some asshole shoots up a local politician’s house, while he and his eight year old son are inside. Something that:
- Has only increased support for said politician
- Has strengthened his resolve to support said data center
- Will inevitably be used as evidence that anti-AI people are nuts
- Could easily have ended in the murder of a child, because, again, he was in the house this person indiscriminately fired into
And the reaction here is ‘good?’
If you honestly believe this way, you have been dangerously radicalized. Get help before you hurt someone.
You make good points but when politicians don’t listen to people and those people get desperate they also get violent. If politicians didn’t want to get shot at they shouldn’t have created a world in which that sounds like a good idea to damn near half the population. Actions have consequences and the people in charge have been ignoring problems for a long time. Sooner or later that’s going to bite them in the ass in one way or another.
The same logic used by people who murder abortion doctors, nice. I’m sure this guy’s eight year old son deserved it, too. Again–seek help.
Lol, seek help from whom exactly? Medical professionals in the US are pretty much required to report any individual which may pose a danger to themselves or others to the police. And the US police pretty much shoots first and sprinkles some evidence later.
Who exactly do you think is going to help people who are being radicalized by the complete breakdown of the services meant to help them?
You say “seek help” as if there’s still something there to give it. And even if there was, can one even afford help anymore?
“Seek help” is the secular version of a passive aggressive “I’ll pray for you.”
You’re welcome to your opinions on the topic but I don’t think you can refute anything I said. Desperate people often get violent and there are a lot of desperate people out there. That’s just the state of the world.
That doesn’t mean we have to cheer for it.
Hey I won’t say good, but how about indifferent? Crocodile tears about his family do nothing for me when his policies are bound to wreck a large portion of his constituents putting out of work and on the streets, on a systematic scale. Not to even mention the environmental catastrophe he’s invited in, for a meager $2.5M.
Yeah… Indifferent. Numb. Sucks for him. Will suck even worse for everyone else soon.
I really wouldn’t care if people were shrugging. It’s the gleeful celebration that’s getting to me.
Without this we would be pretty short on ‘wins’ right now.
We could do with fewer “wins” that involve shooting at people and their kids.
Well, they should just back the fuck down.
Their kids should also just back the fuck down if they don’t want to get shot?
Or do their lives only count as his property?Right, of course. It’s the fault of the guy whose house got shot up and family endangered.
it actually is
I’m so tired of winning.
He is killing children right now
How?
By passing every shitty policy he can that fucks over everyone but these tech bros. He making housing and feeding people harder and harder. How else can you look at it?
So, that’s a pretty vague “he’s doing something that I consider bad and can be connected in some way to someone eventually dying” criterion.
If that’s all it takes for you to consider it okay to shoot someone’s children we’re in for a pretty bloody time.
I did not say it was okay to kill children.
So are you saying the shooter was a bad guy and in the wrong, then? That it’s not okay to shoot at a guy’s kids because you disagree with him over data center policy?
Was he targeting his kid?
Do you understand the concept of “delayed consequences”?
If you honestly believe this way, you have been dangerously radicalized.
Sorry, cheering for political violence is just normal now. The right has been pushing and supporting political violence so hard that its…just not radical anymore.
Sure, this time it might not have been somebody on the right, but it doesn’t really matter. Once political violence becomes normal, it becomes normal.
“We have to kill AI artist” keeps getting repeated and whenever someone complains the response is “it’s just a meme bro.” Well, that’s a step along the path that leads here. Repeat a slogan long enough and loudly enough and someone ends up thinking it’s social permission.
Literally never seen “we have to kill AI artists” said in any space on the internet. Surely you could link to an example of this if it keeps getting repeated.
You can definitely find an example of someone saying literally anything on the internet.
Seems like an isolated and niche Twitter/Reddit thing. The vote/like counts that Know Your Meme reports for the posts are very low for those platforms so they would not have appeared on the front page or general feeds, and could not be construed as popular. That Know Your Meme page even shows examples of contradictory posts that push back against it, like:
Seems pretty overstated.
Deny. Defend. Depose.
You can definitely find an example of someone saying literally anything on the internet.
Your previous comment was:
Literally never seen “we have to kill AI artists” said in any space on the internet.
That’s the most extreme and instant 180 degree switch in direction I’ve seen in a long time.
Saying that I haven’t ever seen it and asking for examples is not contradictory to the fact that you can find an example of one person saying pretty much anything.
You’re reaching pretty far. How are people supposed to act when they ask for more information about something and receive it? They should ignore new information, or they shouldn’t ask in the first place?
If you think people can find an example of anything then what’s the point in asking for one?
I really wish “The people I represent are against this.” Would be a good enough deterrent to these monstrosities being foisted on already-besieged communities across the country.
This attack was a symptom of an underlying issue, because there’s no trust in representatives anymore, after so many take a bundle of cash from the techbros and say “IDGAF YOLO LMFAO” to their constituents.
Nature is healing 😌
Would you still be saying that if some of those bullets had hit his kid?
Maybe he’ll finally feel like the rest of us do.
Really. The mere existence of data centers makes you feel like your 8-year-old son has been shot.
While you correctly stated why I find acts such as these dangerous when not done very carefully, you are simplifying things a bit too much. Terry Pratchett correctly countered your argument in Going Postal:
Moist Von Lipwig: I’m just a con man!
Mr. Pump: You have killed 22.8 people.
Moist Von Lipwig: I’ve never so much as drawn a sword.
Mr. Pump: You have stolen, embezzled, and swindled. You have ruined businesses and destroyed lives. When banks fail, it’s not bankers who starve. In a thousand small ways, you have hastened the deaths of many. You did not know them. You did not see them bleed. But you snatched bread from their mouths. There will be no running.
I’m from Indiana. Yes, yes I would also say that for their father put them in harms way. This is Trump country and the politicians are less than human.
In the US, this probably counts as free speech…
starting to be the only free speech people have left
why do you think Luigi is so populsr
Remember, Luigi didn’t do it, it’s alleged and they have fucked up hard. Which is why it’s taking so long.
i just said he was popular
we all know he’s innocent
in fact he was at my house that day gaming
Too bad this dipshit (Ron Gibson) will learn nothing at all.
He will juatmake sure to have the keys to the new place when he signs off on all the funding for those Data Centers
Get AI to help with the aim. Finally found a use for it.
That’s all a councilman can afford? A pizza box with no basement? He needs to up his bribe and kickback game.
City councillors are not exactly big-name political powers.
