@djsumdog@djsumdog.com Violence works immediately sometimes. Earth Liberation Front did shut down some operations. But they started back up again a few months or a year later. Meanwhile, America got sick of their violence and destruction. Their message was lost.This is a great point that also applies to many things beyond this incident.
Is it about actually making meaningful change or is it about catharsis in the moment?
Those can often be mutually exclusive, or at least productive to each other.

That said, I think there's nothing wrong with people using the assassination as a "conversation starter" on flaws in the industry. Post-mortems are useful even when it can be hard for many to sit through.
