    It said the 62-year-old had died from a “self-inflicted” wound on 9 March and police were investigating.

          This cnn article.

          Witnesses flagged down Dallas police officers around 10:30 p.m. local time Friday and directed them to Brown, who was lying in the parking lot of his apartment complex with multiple gunshot wounds to his lower body, police said.

          Brown was taken Parkland Memorial Hospital, where he died from his injuries. He was positively identified by the medical examiner Sunday, police said.

          Witnesses told police they heard several gunshots and saw a silver, four-door sedan speed away from the parking lot.

          But there are no detailed descriptions of the suspect.

          Brown “was ambushed at his apartment complex as he got out of his car and (was) shot at close range,” attorney Lee Merritt wrote in a Facebook post Saturday night. Merritt represents the Jean family.

          He said at the time a medical examiner told him Brown had been shot in the mouth and chest.

        Navalny was the pro-corporate interest candidate. He wasn’t killed for corporate interests, if he was killed it was for treason and betraying the state and people

    Thinking about how everyone and their mother jumped to say Navalny was murdered despite there being literally zero evidence other than vaguely suspicious circumstances and questionable motivation.

    In this case there is both clear motivation and painfully suspicious timing.

      Murder was in fact a fairly uncommon event in Ankh-Morpork, but there were a lot of suicides. Walking in the night-time alleyways of The Shades was suicide. Asking for a short in a dwarf bar was suicide. Saying “Got rocks in your head?” to a troll was suicide. You could commit suicide very easily, if you weren’t careful.

      Add ‘whistleblowing’ to this list.

            Corporations exist only because of crony capitalism, in an ancap society it’s nothing but small business owners and entrepreneurs, is their unironic answer.

              well, I’m sure none of those small businesses will grow faster and absorb the others leading to centralization and monopoly, so everything’s fine.

            ‘Monopolies only happen due to government intervention. They totally do not happen in a system where a bunch of rich people compete for the market and the winners get to have an advantage in further competition while the losers get to be pushed out. This totally does not lead to merging of companies and accumulation of capital in a few hands’.

    That’s crazy. All this bullshit is very obviously because Boeing is cutting corners. If you work in aerospace manufacturing and you make/check something out of spec and a plane goes down for it and they tie it back to you, there’s a good chance you’re gonna do time for it. Big incentive to not fuck around on the job. These executives don’t even live in the same world as the rest of us they’re just gonna kill this guy without a second thought and they’re gonna do it so sloppily it’s like they’re not even trying to hide it.
