    You know that kid did kind of show up out of nowhere in the past couple of months.

    I’ve never seen him with any of his kids before.

    And if you think about it, he’s definitely a heartless bastard to do this.

    And now I’m wondering about a lot of wealthy elites I’ve seen with their kids lately. Many of whom I had no idea they had kids that were so strikingly young.

      Imagine being this kid and growing up and realizing one day the only reason dad ever suddenly started giving a shit about you was because he was using you as a meat shield because some guy named Luigi killed another rich guy. I’d be devastated

      Using innocents, especially the wounded and children, as shields are a staple of terrorists everywhere. There’s a reason why Hamas was posting up in hospitals and schools constantly like it mattered much to Israel in the end.

      All it takes for Elon is someone with better aim though. Aim small miss small.

        Yeah it mattered so much to them that they never bombed a single school or hospital to avoid casualities! Man what humane people /s

    In The Dead Zone Stephen King predicted society would turn on a politician who used a child to shield themselves from an assassin.

    I no longer think that is true, at least for members or associates of one party.

      Batman was kinda a piece of shit, only really hurt /killed the henchmen. Never stopped the parade of evil villains who just turnstiled thru the jail/asylums.

        Batman isn’t real and nothing happened the writers didn’t command. How the hell are you judging a fictional character’s personality because the writers wanted to have consistent baddies for people to cheer for/against?

        Lmao homie

    Well, yes, obviously, he probably never even saw the kid before that. I dare some ballsy journalist to ask him, what’s the kids name.

    Only here on Lemmy, people advocating for taking a sniper shot and potentially murdering an infant.

    This from the party of love and empathy, advocating for the rights of the working man, wondering why people think they are unhinged when outside their echo chambers

      Lemmy isn’t a political party, its a decentralized platform for communities and peoples of all kinds. Theres a left leaning bias for people who like unions and stuff but youll find plenty of communities for the far right and everything between.

      The real reason you see this only here on lemmy because you’re actually free to give such a hot take without being instantly banned by a centralized authority. Maybe you’re so used to supressed and sanitized corporate run discussion fourms you forgot what people are actually like when they are free to express themselves. This is just the darker side of humanity unmasked. The suffering common people wishing death on their ruling aristocracy who just sees them as cattle and not caring if their bloodlines die with them has been around pretty much forever.

      This is like a trolley problem: how many infant are you willing to run over in order to kill Elon? And how many children are dying just by the fact that piece of garbage is alive?
