Thing is I actually have done a lot of work for evil companies and made out like a bandit doing it

And I always tell myself "if you didn't write this series of promotional emails, someone else would"

So do I deserve a clip in the spine?

Luke's repeatedly made it clear you deserve to be offered up in some sort of horrific ritual sacrifice.

It's being reported the guy who shot the CEO may have purchased the gun in Connecticut, was in New York for ten days, used a fake New Jersey ID and paid for the hostel in cash. A cool dude.

Be funny if the Old Gods responded with "Eh, nah, we're good, thanks."

they're also saying that that photo of the alleged assassin with the mask down was because he was flirting with the receptionist at the hostel he stayed at in NY

According to US media, police were able to find an image of the suspect without his face mask because he was flirting with the woman who checked him into the hostel.

The receptionist asked to see his smile, and the suspect obliged, pulling down his mask, which allowed a CCTV camera to capture his face, ABC reports, citing police sources.

As CNN's chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst John Miller puts it: “That little flirtation between the two of them, in some good-humoured way, actually yielded what is so far the most significant clue to identifying him.”

I like how even John Miller sounds like he's on the verge of saying "this is a lovely, good-humoured guy we're dealing with here... A HERO!"

There must be Virgin Trump Non-killer vs Chad CEO Assassin memes by now, I'm sure.

'Shoot from the hip'

 

[william_kent]

What would it be called?

"My empathy is out of network"

a reference to: Bitter Americans React to UnitedHealthcare CEO’s Murder: ‘My Empathy Is Out of Network’

“I would offer thoughts and prayers but they are not covered as they are out of network.”

"Sorry. But my insurance and Medicaid don’t cover Thoughts and Prayers"

“seems like that hole in his chest was a pre-existing condition. You gonna have to deny coverage.”

It's definitely Simon Reeve. Craner will be thrilled if they gun him down. He hates Simon Reeve.

I'm still wondering what order the bullets were fired in...

my thoughts are like a Brion Gysin permute poem

defend, deny, depose
defend, depose, deny
deny, defend, depose
deny, depose, defend
depose, deny, defend
depose, defend, deny

Burroughs would love it. What could be better than literally shooting your words into The Enemy?

A lot of ppl on reddit are saying that it isn't the same guy

I dunno if that's just a conspiracy take or

The word assassination is derived from Nizārī Ismāʿīliyyah, a religio-political movement that arose in the late 11th century within the Ismāʿīliyyah branch of Shiʿi Islam. The Nizārīs, whose power base was in the Elburz Mountains, in what is today northern Iran, lacked the military strength to confront regional opponents such as the ʿAbbasid caliphate and the Seljuq sultanate directly. Instead, they relied on subterfuge and infiltration to strike at key military and political figures within both empires.

European Crusaders heard and misinterpreted legends about the early Nizārīs and then brought these stories back to their home countries. Two of these misinterpretations—which likely originated with the Nizārīs’ enemies—were that the Nizārīs were fanatics under the sway of the mysterious “old man of the mountain” and that they used hashish to induce visions of paradise before setting out to face martyrdom. The Arabic term ḥashīshī (“consumer of hashish”), which was used as a derogatory term for the Nizārīs, became the root of the English term assassin and its cognates in other European languages. Assassin took on the meaning of a relentless killer.
