The shadow looks like it's supposed to resemble something, but I guess it's just oddly drawn.

I think the shadow is from a streetlight just behind and above the shooter.

[–] samus12345 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The fact that the CEO doesn't have one makes it look particularly odd.

[–] Etterra 2 points 2 days ago

That's because you can only have a shadow if you have a soul.

[–] samus12345 4 points 2 days ago

It is, but since it leads directly to the legs of the CEO who has no shadow, it looks like it's supposed to resemble something rather than being a simple shadow. It's just not drawn very well.

That shirt does indeed, go hard.

You’ll get arrested for wearing this in public but not denying health insurance claim to 900.000 people

[–] Mojave 85 points 3 days ago (1 children)

This is too victim complex-y. You can wear tee shirts supporting violence, nobody is going to arrest you.

In the US? I don't think this shirt would violate any law or get you arrested. There was that guy with the "I eat ass" bumper sticker that got arrested for profanity but the state attorney dropped it because it probably is protected free speech.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 days ago (1 children)

By "arrested" they actually mean, "have the shit beat out of you by cops"

[–] [email protected] 30 points 3 days ago (1 children)

guys no cop is going to fuck with you for a t-shirt like this. Ive hung out in the punk scene for decades and people wear clothing with very, very explicit anarchist and anti cop etc language and no cops are stopping people for fuckin t-shirts.

They'll skip that. They can't actually get you convicted anyways, they'll just get the thugs with badges to beat you for "resisting arrest", then shoot you because "they feared for their life".

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Despite initial reporting that the words were "deny," "defend," and "depose," police clarified the following day that it was "delay" and not "defend" written on one of the casings.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago

"Three fired cartridge cases alongside three unfired cartridges were found at the scene. The words "delay", "deny", and "depose" were written on the cases. "Depose" was inscribed on a casing from a round fired into Thompson, while "delay" was marked on an unfired cartridge ejected as the shooter racked the pistol, possibly to clear a jam or intentionally discard the live round."

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I think it just means that there is a missing bullet (maybe never fired).

Obviously a reference to Delay, Deny, Defend, a common practice of insurance companies to maximize profit. The excerise is left to the reader to decide what "Depose" means.

You can buy these in the hospital gift shop, I’m sure.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 days ago (1 children)

But how can you afford it when your claim has been denied?

[–] EmpathicVagrant 16 points 3 days ago (2 children)

The shirts are only $3949.99 it’s so affordable you can buy six for the price of one ER visit.

I wonder if the shadow noose is intentional.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 days ago (16 children)

I wish the noose wasn't there. It's unrelated to the incident, and it's a method of murder associated with black people, not CEOs. Make it a guillotine or just a normal shadow.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 3 days ago (7 children)

You wot m8, we've been hanging people for millennia

Associated with black people... and centuries of executions prior that had nothing to do with color.

A noose over a tree I could see being more racial - kkk killings etc - but hanging is more of a "common persons execution" historically

I kinda feel like what they're going for is a "shoot the rope" thing with that shadow.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Agreed. It reads as the "shooter" killing a mass murderer whose noose/shadow kills all those it touches.

What the fuck is up with that grip? It looks like he's delicately holding the bottom half of the pistol grip with his fingertips.

Edit, just to be clear: I thought his grip looked fine in the video. This artist's rendition just looks weird. I might actually buy this if they made him look like a competent shooter.

Wasn't "delay" instead of "defend"? Been finding both versions all the time.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I believe the original reporting incorrectly stated it was defend. The saying is "delay, deny, depose" which is standard operating procedure for insurance companies in the US.

In this case, the CEO was deposed.

I stand corrected. Thank you.

Genuinely might get this on hoodie

Unrelated note, does anyone have access to a copy of UHC Sans and UHC serif font files? The only place i can find them is corporat-only

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago

Made one that matches very closely if anyone is interested
