I suspect the long term effect will be determined by if the guy gets caught. If he doesn't get caught, people will think, "hey, you can get away with this," and it will happen more. If does get caught, people will think, "these people are greedy and unjust, but I don't want to die or spend the rest of my life in jail and deprive my family, I'll just deal with it."

- Larrikin 2y agoI think most people cheering him on expect him to get caught and probably the shooter expects that himself. Having a long term effect will be if his reasons for doing it inspires law makers to enact change. Or if he inspires 3 or 4 other people who are successful in gunning down CEOs of other exploitative industries, even after upping security. If he is killed and/or we never learn a motive, he'll just be forgotten under a pile of online and media speculation. Hopefully his plan anticipated some kind of dead man's release of his motive.
