    Hard to predict.

    This act broke the taboo against violence and shattered the perception of powerlessness. Turns out there is something you can do against these assholes, and it’s not as unpopular an option as you might have expected.

    It may inspire imitation, emboldening other pissed victims. It may scare the other CEOs into treading more carefully. It might embolden progressive politicians to challenge the status quo, now that they see how popular that can be.

    Or it might end up a big ball of hot air that doesn’t do anything. Like I said, hard to predict.

      If all the disaffected white teens stopped shooting up schools and started shooting CEOs, it’s not healthy, but they would be channeling their anger in a better direction.
