Seattle road sign references CEO shooting: 'Many more to go'
An electronic traffic message board — normally the forum for messages like “right lane closed ahead” — had been reprogrammed with an ominous message.
“One less CEO,” the sign, at the corner of southbound Aurora and Dexter Way, said, “many more to go.”

Now let’s see how quickly gun regulation gets pushed through…
That would backfire so horribly when explosives become the weapon of choice. It'll be Oklahoma City for every shitty company.
Edit: Had the wrong damn city
You weren't around for the preceding "going postal" era..,
Fun fact: my old boss was on the team who wrote the code for the time clock that was so granular and cruel that it drove the first dood to go haywire and shooty.
Learning it was a punch clock and micro-management behind it, you're not surprised a bit.
This whole thing is great but jump to 1:11 for the reference
More Oklahoma City if you're talking explosives.
Shit you're right, I got my american tragedies mixed up!
There are so many to choose from.
Funny enough, it took them until 2011 to finally have any real regulation on ammonium nitrate!
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air...
Brought plainly to light
Rancid fetish laid bare
::: spoiler Tap for spoiler I've always found it a bit odd that it's the only national anthem venerating explosives. Reap what you sow I guess. :::
Speaking of that "anthem"...
lol if only. We're just going to see more fences around neighborhoods, more police in the "nice" parts of town, more general segregation between the upper and middle class, and if the CEOs are actually scared they'll just spend all their time in other countries that are more safe.
They are afraid.
Not afraid enough.
I thought the literal removal of all fear was the goal?
Unsettling to CEOs, maybe.
Do CEOs really qualify as commuters if they barely do any actual work? It might be more accurate to call them very consistent daily tourists.
Commuters are people who travel into the city to get work done during the day and then commute home.
You would think basic grammar would be used by "journalists"
It was just one. An journalist lol
I believe they prefer the term “artificial human”
I want to do this.

The Seattle area is full of the craziest normal looking people ever.
Seattle is a mix of rich folks, tech folks, counterculture folks, and holier-than-thou folks. Sometimes, that's just one dude.
You're referring to my dentist! Like how can you be a snob and also have clients that let you drill their teeth out? It takes whatever I used to be. But now I'm going to get me a new dentist lol.
Oh and it rhymes. Now we have a chant!!!
