The day before his testimony. He was 100% assassinated. Too bad Boeing is such a major company. This would have FBI agents crawling all over it if it wasn't a company that can afford to buy every politician in DC.
Idk the DOJ opened a criminal investigation against them but that could just be theater. 100% this man was murdered though dude, no doubt about it. When I read that whole "our thoughts are with his friends and family" I got a chill man that's so evil.
To be fair, they would've said that regardless. Its standard corporate speak.
True, but I get the point. Like it's hard for those of us with souls to comprehend the sheer evil it takes to murder or coerce-to-murder someone's father/husband/brother/friend, and then tell them through your teeth "That's so unfortunate this thing happened to them. Thoughts and prayers."
If this was a Trump administration with Sessions or Barr, nothing would be done. I actually do think Garland's DOJ cares about such corruption, so I'm hopeful this will at least be looked into.
We are in the era of corporate aristocracy. They are considered people, have vast wealth to manipulate and avoid the law, and when they ARE caught acting horrifically, the government just sighs and says "Well we can't stop having products so I guess it really was suicide lol'
And us normal peasants just have to suck it up.
Time to storm the fucking castle.
They could still be crawling over it, hopefully
Yeah I guess they have no reason to divulge active investigations to the public, but yeah, obviously the optics on this are super fucked.
