I’ll guarantee you they’re not.
If they weren't, why would they be doing the things they are doing then?
It’s protocol for any high profile perp walk. It’s how things have been done for a long time.
No it's not. There are so many comparable pictures out there today. You can just look at them next to each other.
I’d urge you to look up a guy named Timothy McVeigh. There’s tons of images of the army of police officers walking him. And it goes all the way back to Lee Harvey Oswald. Remember that guy? TONS of cops around him.
Think they were afraid?
Also, I’d urge you to read this, as it explains how exactly the purpose for the perp walk.
Trust me- no one is afraid.
Does that guarantee why companies have tried removing their about us page that show their employees and their position in the company, or why they are hiring security, or starting phone lines so they have outlets if they need someone to talk to?
Shit even Amazon is hiring an "executive protection manager" right now so they can set up a security team.
Don’t mistake fear for precaution. I lock my doors every night not because I’m afraid, but because I’m aware of what could happen if I didn’t.
Until now, people didn’t randomly murder CEOs in cold blood. Now they do. So adjustments are being made.
This isn’t the movement you think it is and I’d be willing to bet it’s going to have VERY negative consequences for us all.
I dunno, I lock my doors cuz I'm afraid of someone coming into my house and harming me or my family, or stealing my stuff. That's why I lock it.
I'm not sure what you think I think it is.. but I think it's just a lad that said fuck you to some mate that fucked over a lot of people. If that's terrorism than every murder is terrorism, because you lock your doors at night because you're aware of what could happen, not afraid.
They escalate, so do their innumerable victims.
Part of the owner's con was murdering with a quiet smile. That no longer works being surrounded by corpo stormtroopers as they're hiring frantically out of "precaution." Nice deflection, feels like something corpo PR would release.
Enjoy agreeing with Donald Trump btw.
ROFL…. this is exactly what I’m talking about. You people love making up narratives, but all it does is prove that you don’t know jack shit about who you’re talking about or to.
My comment history is public bud. I suggest you read it.
Where is not?
Edit: downvoted me and changed there to they're.. drats. Could have at least said thank you for pointing it out for you.
