The shooting was premeditated and targeted, with evidence pointing to it being a planned execution. The incident highlighted the dangers of mob justice and the erosion of due process, serving as a warning of what could come if justice is taken into one's own hands.
Some on the left, including Taylor Lorenz, justified the killing, suggesting that executives like Thompson deserved it due to perceived failings in the healthcare system. This reaction was condemned as dangerous and immoral, masquerading vengeance as righteousness.
The Declaration of Independence states that governments are instituted to protect inalienable rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. When governments become hostile to these rights, it is the right and duty of the people to overthrow such governments and replace them with ones more likely to protect those rights.
Beck believes the current government is not protecting inalienable rights and is instead oppressing people, taking away their rights. He sees the shooting of Brian Thompson as a clear example of what happens when governments fail to uphold justice, leading to mob justice and violence.
The shooter engraved words on the bullets: 'deny,' 'depose,' and 'defend.' These engravings were interpreted as a message related to denying claims and deposing those in power, possibly in the context of perceived injustices in the healthcare system.
Beck warns that if mob justice and street violence continue to be condoned, it will lead to a cycle of vengeance, where today it's a corporate executive, tomorrow it could be a politician, and eventually anyone who disagrees with the mob. He emphasizes the importance of returning to the rule of law and justice.
Beck connects Thompson's murder to the broader issue of mob justice and the erosion of due process. He argues that this kind of violence is a symptom of a society that has abandoned the principles of justice, leading to chaos and the breakdown of law and order.
Beck suggests returning to the principles of the Declaration of Independence, where justice is based on due process, evidence, deliberation, and fairness. He advocates for a lawful and peaceful revolution anchored in the systems and principles that protect justice, not destroy it.
Beck believes the Trump administration will send a strong message to global leaders that the time of insanity is over and that there is a new sheriff in town. He predicts that Trump's assertiveness and commitment to keeping promises will force other countries to return to law and order or face consequences.
Beck suggests that people should consider putting 10% of their savings into gold or silver as a hedge against economic uncertainty. He also recommends paying off debt and considering mortgage refinancing or debt consolidation to reduce high-interest debts.
