For context, this is from terminator 2 where the protagonist is saved by his best friend in the first 30 min of the film by lying to a terminator cyborg from the future posing as a cop.

Yeah, on all platforms I’ve been to I’ve seen nothing but bitter jokes and snarky comments about the situation. Imagine being such a massive shitbag that nobody gives a damn when you are literally murdered in public and in broad daylight.

If your legacy is feeding off people’s misfortune and suffering then I’d say this outcome is part of the risk you took. What goes around, comes around. I don’t expect the leeches to learn from that tho.

These people run real death panels. You know the thing the GOP warned us about if the ACA was passed.

The number of times the GOP have done the exact thing they warned us that the Dems would do is too damn high.

Here’s something we should all consider.

Back in the day, the Irish Republican Army was one of the most feared terrorist groups in the world.

At their height they only had about fifty full time assassins.

But every assassin had a massive ‘rear echelon.’

When the shooter came to town, he’d have a choice of three or four safe houses, a dozen drivers, and at least two doctors to go to if he was injured.

So you are saying the IRA assassins have a better healthcare plan than most Americans?

On the other hand, IRA assassins are much more productive than most Americans.

Why are you booing? You know it’s true!

Not better than American assassins, though.

Today we were unlucky, but remember we have only to be lucky once, you will have to be lucky always. Give Ireland peace and there will be no war.

Badass warning tbh

Funny thing. I was working in NYC in public health on 9/11/2001. Afterwards, we got a lot of lectures on terrorism and mass casualty incidents.

Say Nothing by Patrick Radden Keefe could be a good place to start. The central bit being told is about the abduction and murder of a woman, but most of the book is really about the history of the IRA and the Troubles, giving context to the abduction.

j. Non-permissive environment: An environment in which friendly forces anticipate obstructions to, or interference with, operations.

Corpo executives and billionaires about to find out that no matter the snitch line reward money they put up, people magically didn’t see anything.

Policing requires a degree of consent from the public, you’ll be turning away search party volunteers for a child kidnapping, but I don’t see a line of people ready to narc on shoplifting or drug possession.

That, and it’s a health insurance company.

They can offer whatever rewatd they want. Their entire business model is based on promising to provide money before refusing to cough it up.

They’ll find ways to deny it. Saying that the information in and of itself was insufficient as they needed to send someone out there with a firearm, therefore providing further health insurance liabilities and therefore nullifies the reward.

That’s the biggest problem with militarizing the police.

You get cops who think they are the Punisher and citizens who hate the cops on the beat.
