It reminds me of the whole "don't speak ill of the dead" as if them dying suddenly exonerates them from being a massive pile of shit while they were alive.

Whenever it's someone killed by the cops they immediately expose anything negative they can find about the victim.

mind that if this were a black child shot in the back by a white supremacist they would be researching his life day and night to find maybe one photo where he made a weird hand sign so they can say he was no angel and maybe he was a gang member who knows ...

but an actual demon gets killed and the opposite campaign begins

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago

Nah, they have definitely scoured back years of Facebook photos just to find a single one that isn't gang signs or posing with an illegal-in-illinois handgun.

Normally, I'd say it's poor taste to speak ill of the dead. Normally.

That's not what the motivation is here. The media are

  • aware that the family can bury them
  • afraid to lose their jobs
  • beholden to their ~~masters~~ shareholders
  • trying to make this go away
  • not on the side of the American people
[–] Anticorp 3 points 1 day ago

For media companies it's not usually shareholders that call the shots, it's one obscenely rich old guy, like Rupert Murdoch.

Well, other than drunk driving, insider trading, fraud and failing at his marriage and being a CEO of a firm that prevented people from getting the health care they need, he was a really nice guy.

You're thinking of the Chief Executive Officer, we're the Office of Executive Chiefs.

Not to be confused with the Chief Office Executives

If you’re a fucking millionaire, at least have the decency to hire a driver when you’re sauced. Ffs.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 days ago

No, he didn't get enough thrill of a kill from work, it's not the same, don't be mean like that to this poor person.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days ago

Even if you're not a millionaire, please at least get an Uber or taxi.

chill, it's called booze cruising

Mass murderer was finally stopped by one of his victims

[–] paultimate14 62 points 2 days ago (16 children)

separated from his wife for years

Remember that according to the FBI more than half of murderers know their victims personally, and about a quarter are family relations.

I think the police really need to drop this whole "assassination" false flag and investigate the more probable angles. Could be that he was closeted and killed by a jilted lover, or the husband of the secretary he was banging, or a hitman hired by the estranged wife. No sense in harassing every man with a green jacket over this.

[–] STOMPYI 12 points 2 days ago (2 children)

False flag? What are you on m8? Just gonna invenet your own narrative? The bullets had writing on that was a title of an book bashing g the industry...

[–] paultimate14 33 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Just trying to get the cops to stop harassing innocent and unrelated people is all.

Fake news don't see no crime the way we don't see no murder.

The Adjuster is a public servant, never forget.

Being separated from his wife is personal and not something I'd judge someone for. The rest is ok

[–] [email protected] 79 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Of course, until the media paints him as a "beloved father and husband."

It's not judgment, just correcting the record.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That makes sense. I've not followed the media portrayal, so I wasn't aware of that context.

Makes me wonder what they'll write about Trump when he passes.

"A leader beloved by all..."

He's from corporate so he's not really part of our family.... And divorced so he's not really part of his family

And all that does not matter, he headed up a corporation which took peoples money to insure them against costs associated with their health care, and then denied paying out money his company had promised them when they needed it causing suffering and death. Those facts are indisputable.

Murderer by proxy which is much worse, in my opinion.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 13 hours ago

Hard to say. By proxy implies every engineer, everyone who works on an oil rig cause that's the available jobs etc etc. is evil. This guy didn't directly kill anyone, but it's hard to say by proxy. Unless you just mean proxy in the sense of "he ordered someone else to do it" in which case I agree.
