      Remember when they killed the guy who testified in that case about a cop murdering a dude in his own home by shooting him in the fucking mouth? Pepperidge Farms remembers

          This cnn article.

          Witnesses flagged down Dallas police officers around 10:30 p.m. local time Friday and directed them to Brown, who was lying in the parking lot of his apartment complex with multiple gunshot wounds to his lower body, police said.

          Brown was taken Parkland Memorial Hospital, where he died from his injuries. He was positively identified by the medical examiner Sunday, police said.

          Witnesses told police they heard several gunshots and saw a silver, four-door sedan speed away from the parking lot.

          But there are no detailed descriptions of the suspect.

          Brown “was ambushed at his apartment complex as he got out of his car and (was) shot at close range,” attorney Lee Merritt wrote in a Facebook post Saturday night. Merritt represents the Jean family.

          He said at the time a medical examiner told him Brown had been shot in the mouth and chest.

      libs will surely jerk themselves raw over this guy killed for corporate interests just like they did for the other guy recently killed for corporate interests (russian)

        Navalny was the pro-corporate interest candidate. He wasn’t killed for corporate interests, if he was killed it was for treason and betraying the state and people

    Thinking about how everyone and their mother jumped to say Navalny was murdered despite there being literally zero evidence other than vaguely suspicious circumstances and questionable motivation.

    In this case there is both clear motivation and painfully suspicious timing.

      Also, a corpse with a gunshot wound…

      Navalny’s death appears to have been natural or at least a very subtle method

    Even BBC is skeptical enough to use scare quotes.

      Murder was in fact a fairly uncommon event in Ankh-Morpork, but there were a lot of suicides. Walking in the night-time alleyways of The Shades was suicide. Asking for a short in a dwarf bar was suicide. Saying “Got rocks in your head?” to a troll was suicide. You could commit suicide very easily, if you weren’t careful.

      Add ‘whistleblowing’ to this list.

            Corporations exist only because of crony capitalism, in an ancap society it’s nothing but small business owners and entrepreneurs, is their unironic answer.

            ‘Monopolies only happen due to government intervention. They totally do not happen in a system where a bunch of rich people compete for the market and the winners get to have an advantage in further competition while the losers get to be pushed out. This totally does not lead to merging of companies and accumulation of capital in a few hands’.

    That’s crazy. All this bullshit is very obviously because Boeing is cutting corners. If you work in aerospace manufacturing and you make/check something out of spec and a plane goes down for it and they tie it back to you, there’s a good chance you’re gonna do time for it. Big incentive to not fuck around on the job. These executives don’t even live in the same world as the rest of us they’re just gonna kill this guy without a second thought and they’re gonna do it so sloppily it’s like they’re not even trying to hide it.

    • they’re gonna do it so sloppily it’s like they’re not even trying to hide it.

      It being sloppy works as a way to warn other potential whistleblowers, while maintaining plausible deniability

    So anyway I just got my 737-Max stickers in the mail and I don’t know if this makes them more or less tasteful. Good time to put one on my car or bad time?
