Its all his counterparts at the other insurance scams that I'm laughing at. Suddenly they are considering their actions have consequences they can't control with more lawyers.

This is the thing.

While I doubt it'll have any actual difference being seen by anyone anywhere, if this killing were followed up by a few more, or even a dozen more in short order, you would see change.

Most of it not the kind we'd hope for (tightened security, lockdown corridors for high profile individuals, even less access and interface with these people, etc....not concessions to decency, honesty, civility, humanity, etc.) but you bet your ass that it'd be living rent free in the back of every CEO and billionaire on the planet for a long time.

I didn't impart the idea that it would change things. Just that for once those horrible people have felt the truth. The truth is that no one is safe even if someone isn't out to get them. Now they are certain that someone is out to get them. It won't make them better people. Pretty much the opposite.
