Wesley LePatner, a Blackstone executive who served as CEO of the firm’s real estate income trust, was among four people killed Monday when a gunman opened fire in a Midtown Manhattan office building that houses Blackstone’s global headquarters.

    Didn’t the CEO’s hold “lone gunman” drills? Did they practice hiding under their desks? Were they children? No? Because that’s what children have to go through every single day. This is just one day that the gunman went to a business, not a school.

    I’d rather have gunmen shooting up slumlord CEOs than schools any day. Maybe if they kill enough CEOs, we can get some gun control laws that might save children. At schools. Because the CEOs that control the government sure don’t give a single fuck about children being shot at school - and they never, ever will.

      I’m glad our “mental health problem” is finally at least putting the crosshairs in the direction of people that actually hurt others.

      I really hope this is the new Meta. Anything to protect our schools.
