Any bets on when the next one will be?
Should we start a betting pool.
So what you’re saying is the betting pool on which CEO will die could be called a Deadpool?
EDIT: Oh, that’s literally what “Deadpool” means. Huh, TIL!
Not a single one. I guarantee it. This a bunch of tech nerds posting memes. No one here or anywhere else has the balls to do this kind of thing.
You people keep posting these “CEOs be afraid!” shit, and they are laughing because we are going to sit here and take it.
Don’t be so sure.
No guarantee this is a copycat, but it is possible
I’m familiar with the story. I’m from that area. I argue that this is dissimilar based on this:
Mahoney had been hired by the company just two weeks prior.
Two weeks of work at locally owned company is not in the same vein. This guy had mental health issues.
Two weeks of work at locally owned company is not in the same vein.
A local CEO is still a CEO. A new employee doesn’t rule out a copycat motivation.
This guy had mental health issues.
The same can be said of the copycats of Columbine. People who do these sorts of things can always and easily be said to have mental health issues. That still doesn’t rule out copycat motivations, as that’s not mutually exclusive.
remember when he said that jet tracker account was posting his “assassination coordinates”
Interesting story, will seem off topic, but it’s not. Wait for it.
There’s a 6 or 7 part podcast production called The Michigan Plot. It dives into the plot against Gretchen Whitmer. I like Whitmer, I was disgusted when I heard about the plot to kidnap her, and happy the men involved were locked up. When I listened to The Michigan Plot, I still didn’t like the men arrested, but I felt more disgust, and not for the men arrested.
I’ll leave it to you to listen, or not.
The TLDR of the series is there was a MI group into LARPing and talking. Deemed a potential domestic terrorist group, to be watched, and there was indeed undercover FBI involved. Did he catch them in the act, not really, no. He picked the dumbest guy in the group and nodded at him a lot and encouraged him, on repeat, to think of something to do, such that I seriously question whether any plot would have been constructed without FBI guy. The encouragment from FBI guy culminated in going on a car ride to scope out Whitmers cabin iirc. Most of the group would t take the bait, which is a good thing in that they weren’t eager to go there. Dumb guy, the kind of guy who probably burned things he shouldn’t in backyard burn piles back in high school, is now on prison. Again, I don’t like the group, but I think the arrest was shady. Yes, you can argue dumb guy should’ve never gone there at all and you’d be right.
My point is. How much typed/posted here, in moments like these, is going to be that FBI guy egging people on to see what sticks and with who? Something to consider.
Hunger games anyone?
