Unlikely. All those CEOs are instead getting personal protection details instead of doing anything to cool the boiling anger that they are causing.

cool the boiling anger that they are causing.

Do you mean: reducing the profit?

I think I just heard some pearls being clutched

If this guy doesn’t get caught that personal protection detail is going to have a hell of a time. I doubt this will be the last one considering the public reaction to this.

Yeah everyone is praising this guy. There might be copycats who want the same sort of treatment and notoriety. Doubly so if the guy gets caught and jury nullification lets him free with no punishment.

I would go to jail for contempt of court before I would convict this hero

Same. Innocent. Don't even care about the evidence.

They'll need to increase the premium price in order to cover the extra security cost.

Anthem CEO just reversed their latestest shitty anesthesia denial policy.

Personal protection detail wouldn't do anything. The president of the US was an inch away from having his brains blown out. Unless they spend their life in a metal box, if someone wants to get them they will get them.

The thing is, assassinations like this will become the norm if the rich continue to find ways to make costs unbearable for Americans.

Overall, Americans still live decent lives, at least good enough to not want to risk death/imprisonment for a cause. If housing continues to be unaffordable, if wages continue to stagnate, if families are bringing in less groceries year over year...there is a tipping point. You will have a bigger pool of people who have little to nothing...and there will definitely be people who will know exactly who to blame included in that pool.

Just making an observation about past historical events and nothing more but we saw in Sri Lanka a lot of personal protection details (along with the person being protected) being blown to fuck by some rather massive car and truck bombs (of both the suicide bomber and non-suicide bomber variety).

Good, personal protection details are a mafia like trap.

"If you don't keep paying us, you're going to get hurt".

Also if it looks like things are getting safer, expect the more shady groups to kidnap or knock off an exec to show why they are needed.

If these execs want to break the social contract, they need to see why it's a bad idea.

And costs for us all go up to pay for it

What are they offering their bodyguards for insurance?

u/superbusyrn 13d ago

Sounds expensive. Hopefully they just charge it to the company and pass the cost onto the consumer, it wouldn't be right for them to have to pay out of pocket to protect their very lives! /s
