    “Demonization of corporate executives is not new.”

    Huh, maybe if they acted in accordance with the social contract instead of lining their pockets with the blood of others.

    Nobody says fuck the fire department.

      In other news, demonization of actual demons also not new. It’s been showing signs of decline though, as much more effective evils steal the attention.

    This is awesome, a whole new grift. I’m surprised that this isn’t a Trump initative.

    If only they’d be proactive about the root cause rather than “proactive with law enforcement intelligence “

        ¿Por qué no los dos? If we stay mad long enough, maybe we’ll get an actual change in health insurance coverage. Or even single payer

        Then again, we may need to be mad for 4+ years

      Only Little Caesars.

      The other chains occasionally deliver something minimally edible by mistake.

    “We protect everybody on the streets of New York, not just CEOs,” Hochul said. “Everybody deserves the protection of our law enforcement.”

    New York City averages over 1 murder per day. Weird how the CEO seems to be the only one getting any attention whatsoever, since everyone is getting equal protection.

      Besides that, law enforcement doesn’t protect anyone. Didn’t protect Brian Thompson, did it?

      Law enforcement is reactive. They show up after the crime has been committed to take notes (incorrectly) and maybe arrest the wrong person. Oh, except when patrol officers are running speed traps so they can intimidate the undesirables and shake them down for fines (which are regressive), maybe abuse some authority (or just make shit up) in order to provoke an unnecessary arrest.

      We cant afford for every American to have secret service protection. So we should just get rid of the secret service entirely. Big money wastage. TSA also needs to go. They never did anything to start with.

      One guy dies. Suddenly the fuckin governor is holding an all hands meeting to discuss using state funds to protect wealthy elite.

      Poor New Yorkers die every day…crickets.

    How about asking them not to be useless parasites who make things worse for the rest of us? That might help ensure their safety.

    Hey gun people.

    For decades I’ve been arguing you, and you always seem to think the 2A is very important for freedom in case you ever need to have a revolution.

    I want to point out that here’s an excellent chance to convince me I’ve been wrong about 2A being archaic.

      95% of American gun owners are pussies that couldn’t even get past the first hurdle when aiming at another human being unless their god king tells them to.

      that’s because they follow directions fairly well but lack the basic foundations of free thought.

    Huh. ~200 people who’ve screwed over a lot of people are going to be in the same place at the same time, and that fact has been advertised?

    Wow. That takes some serious balls. I wish them luck.

    “We protect everyone on the streets of New York, not just CEOs”. While they might do that, this one murder has shown that for some people, the police really does the job they should be doing for everyone.
