    he wasn’t even motivated against capitalism. he was an athlete who suffered from CTE and asked for his brain to be examined in a note before he shot himself in the chest with a rifle (something that requires a bit of forethought - he deliberately saved his brain for analysis). https://nypost.com/2025/07/29/us-news/nyc-shooter-shane-tamura-thanked-a-cte-documentary-and-listed-names-of-prominent-neuroscientists-in-suicide-note-sources/

    This was supposed to be anti pro-sports violence, I guess.

      I bet they won’t even do a brain exam. It will be seen as “giving the killer what he wanted” and “disrespecting his victims” if they honor his request.

      Most importantly the NFL will get to keep pretending everything is fine.

          Or maybe they’ll do the exam but the results will be inconclusive and the brain will end up misplaced so that his family can’t have have their own tests done. Hell, the NFL might start adding clauses to contracts that require players to donate their bodies “to science” upon death. Don’t they already require them to use “NFL approved” doctors? Anything to keep independent doctors from diagnosing CTE in their dead players.

          Can’t even enjoy some sports without having to watch late stage capitalism grind humans into pieces.

      This has to be the most brain dead propaganda take on the internet right now. Yeah he totally didn’t mean to kill who he killed. It was all a happy accident

        The person is questioning the motivation (with pretty solid points), that doesn’t mean it was an accident. Ironically, your accusation just called your own reading comprehension and reasoning into question while you’re calling this dude brain dead
