        Just realized that I might have misunderstood your question. It’s a giant (telepathic) bug, and it was afraid because it got captured.

      Do you mean blackrock? FIFA and all the international sporting organizations suck and are corrupt as hell but they’re just not on the same level of evil as health insurance companies. Nestle is, but it’s evilness isn’t really in America, it’s elsewhere, and elsewhere isn’t armed to the teeth like we are.

      I’m shocked it’s taken this long.

        Nestlé is Swiss, and the Swiss have a gun ownership rate that doesn’t exactly say “not armed to the teeth”. And they siphoning the great lakes is definitely a North American problem.

          Yeah the Swiss seem to be who Americans think we are. A free federation of states that embraces the multiple cultures that formed it and is filled with responsible gun owners who are ready to defend their country if need be.

        Blackstone and Blackrock deserve to be on the list.

        Silly thing- Gboard swype got Blackstone first try twice, but failed twice on Blackrock, then gave me blackcock. I’ve never typed that as a compound word in my life.

            Blackstone is a big money company specialized in leveraged buyouts. Leveraged buyout is the nice word for hostile takeover. They buy companies, fire everyone, sell everything that isn’t bolted to the wall and then sell the building and dissolve the company.

            It’s very profitable and terrible for the workers. But you gotta have big big money to play their game.

        This is the part thats exciting to me.

        Who hasn’t been affected by this? Or hasn’t seen health insurance denials hurt people?

        They can pay security all they want. But the security better be truly sociopathic because whatever the salaries they get paid still won’t bring back friends, family, neighbors, mentors, etc.

        And who says the security will be loyal? Just like who says the cops are really gonna try to catch this guy?

        The hatred of the health insurance companies is truly universal. In such a divided polarized country it’s truly incredible how unifying this act of murder was.

        Everyone except the politicians have to deal with these insurance companies. That includes cops and private security. How many of them have had their claims denied for their sick children or family members? No amount of money can buy off that rage.

            It has nothing to do with what’s right for the people but more so doing what’s selfish. They’ve been fucked over too so I doubt they’ll put much effort into this.

                Oh I’m sure there’s someone who wants to get the fame for killing modern day bin Laden (omg what a sentence). But I think the majority of the rank and file have had negative experiences themselves with the health insurance companies and don’t want to do more than the bare minimum in solving this.

                Maybe I’m being biased and hyperbolic but this is the most unifying political event I’ve ever lived through and I lived through quite a bit of major political events now. Only the most pearl clutching of false piety liberals are condemning this… nearly everyone in this country has had first or secondhand experience of being fucked over by health insurance.

                  If we’re still talking about the same guy I prefer modern day John Brown.

                  This is truly the most unifying thing. I wish it had happened before the election but I doubt it would have changed anything. I want to hold onto this feeling.

      Hopefully it never comes to that. I think it’s more likely they pick a scapegoat than catch the actual assassin. The pictures that came out yesterday don’t even look like the same person.

    Can’t wait for 6 months from now when people are saying, “what a mistake it was to make fun of that CEO” for no fucking reason. Like they do for BLM; defund the police; wokeness; eat the rich; anti-work movement; anything that brings light to the corporate oligarchs and the systems of oppression thet they use.
