    You think a little thing like his killer also being a tech bro is going to dissuade the :frothingfash: from using it to persecute the homeless?

      Looking through the Hacker News thread about it, half the comments are like "don't let this distract you from the real issue, which is how dirty and disgusting and violent the homeless are"

        You're literally more likely to be attacked or killed by someone you know this shit is backed up by stats but nah homeless and black people are wild orcs.

          I think what really stood out to me are comments about how he lived in Miami, and was only visiting SF, and how tragic it was that he was killed while visiting a violent battleground city like SF.

          ...which made me quick google crime stats, and sure enough, Miami actually has more violent crime and murders than SF. The whole debate is completely vibes-based.

            It's the liberal worldview along with chuds, it's all about how it makes me feel.

              Visible poverty being shoved in their faces is the first time they've had to actually had to witness the consequences of the society they're creating.

          Anybody else feel the western demonizing of homeless, trans, Chinese and Russians has reached a fever pitch? I don’t remember this virulent of reaction in the west except for post-911 Islamophobia and they killed several million Muslims before they got that out of their system

            They do seem to be the new target of the decade for sure.

            Money is right now for everyone and homeless remind people how close they are to failing. They are gonna push back.

          this shit is backed up by stats

          It’s also backed up by this ceo being stabbed by someone he knew :stalin-smokin:

          Lee and Momeni were portrayed by police as being familiar with one another. In the wee hours of April 4, they were purportedly driving together through downtown San Francisco in a car registered to the suspect.

      Now you got me thinking of an american psycho style bougie serial killer who pins his murders on homeless people to cover them up.

    :shocked-pikachu:

    You mean you're actually more likely to be harmed by someone you know than a random person, and statistics have always born this out?

      We literally had a mass shooting the other day that killed his co-workers, people he knew, and yet liberals are hopped up on killing homeless people because seeing them makes them uncomfortable. Also worth noting that shooter was also a bougie PMC.

    Rub this shit in the face of every liberal on twitter who advocated for genociding the homeless in the wake of this. One of your own did the murder.

      Best way of doing this is to ape their language exactly, only swapping out the noun.

      "I just think we'd all be safer if we moved the techbros into camps."

      "Wouldn't the streets look nice without all these dirty techbros?"

      "Don't give the techbros any money, they'll just spend it on alcohol and drugs."

      I've told this story here before but I remember somebody giving a homeless guy shit for busking outside a store. "Get a real job" bullshit. Like dude its free music for everyone, just enjoy it or leave. What an asshole.

        I want more buskers to encourage public enjoyment of music and public acceptance of dancing outside

            Speaking as a piper, good pipers are generally not going to be busking. Weddings and funerals are happening all the time, require very little effort aside from timeliness, and pay like $300 for what is usually 1 or 2 tunes.

          Public music is awesome, I miss the city sometimes because a guy on the street jamming out with a sax is so much better than hearing the rumble of cars.

    YES! This is clearly the first in what will be a new paradigm of corporate assassinations. We’re getting Snowcrash! It’s giving Tessier-Ashpool, baby. Whoo! It’s going to… suck shit. I don’t want to die in no corpo war. I’m getting on a raft for Cuba.

    If anyone wants to know how Fox is spinning this (why would you, but it's on 24/7 on the TV in my break room), they're going with "There were other people there that refused to help him! This is because there's so much violence on the streets that people don't even notice it!" Just a painful level of bullshit.

    Will these tech ghouls now advocate for offing 4-5 tech CEOs everyday to deter crime like they were crying about homeless people?

    On the one hand, Tech bros are largely using apps to skirt labor laws and weaponize unequal information against their users to extract profit through psychological conditioning.

    On the other hand, they sometimes stab other Tech bros.

    Just goes to show you, there's potential for good in everyone :Care-Comrade:
