    You guys realize this company is tiny, right? The guy stabbed isn’t some rich CEO. He just runs a machine shop. In Muskegon. Which is basically nowhere. Also, the guy is expected to live, and Nathan was arrested in 15 minutes. This story is no comparison, it’s just sad.

    I’m holding off on the celebration until I know the reason for the stabbing and what kind of person the president is.

    If I have to choose between an America where Executives live in fear that one day they could be the next headline, and one where the same thing happens but it’s to school children?

    Not much of a choice

    I wonder if this new trend will stop some CEOs from forcing RTO. Harder to stab over the computer 🤔

    Workplace violence has always been a thing in the US. As a phenomena, it predates the era of school shootings. It’s so common that I feel comfortable predicting that this man’s motives were a personal grievance, not class warfare.

      There may be a personal grievance, but what are the chances that if he had better work conditions, that the personal grievance he had would have driven him to this?

      While true, how many of those workplace incidents involved someone from the executive level?

      Depending on the grievance it might still be “class warfare” depending on how loosely you define it.

      “Going postal” was a thing.

      It was a thing before Columbine, cause man, I remember the talks at school about that.

      The class was brought out, we sat under a tree, and were allowed to talk about our feelings.

      One of my bullies looked me dead in the eye, and said something along the lines of “Its always the quiet ones.”

      I’m surprised I didn’t have to talk to anyone after looking him dead in the eye back and replying “Yeah, it is.” Just letting it hang in the air.

      I will say, he no longer bullied me after that.

      That’s ok, I had another bully who learned the hard way that if pushed far enough, I would break bones if provoked enough. Last day of school that year. He clotheslined me and put me in a choke hold when I was running a football, you know, playing like a kid on the last day of school. He still had a hold as we got up, him behind me. When my vision started to dim, I stomped the arch of his foot (multiple fractures, lot of bones there) to get out, then turned and broke his nose with one punch.

      It all stopped after that.

      Because my teachers were aware of the bullying (thanks for stopping it, assholes) I didn’t get in any trouble. This was at the beginning of zero tolerance talks. It was a policy the next school year.

        The Postal video game series was quite directly based on the trend of postal workers going crazy and killing people in the 80s and 90s.

          You’re not wrong.

          A school year of bullying stopped by a decisive punch?

          Clearly both are the same. Not one kid being tormented to the point of violence in self defense because they couldn’t fucking breathe anymore, over the whole school year. Not something the teachers, our so called care takers, could have nipped in the bud a LONG time ago. No, clearly, both kids are violent offenders.

        I was a fake bully. Big giant bastard. Me and this other guy had a bit where I’d pick him up by putting my hand around his throat on with pressure on the sides and lifting him by his jaw while he was against some lockers with a loud bang. I think he also jumped. Obviously a stupid dangerous thing to do, but par for the course for testosterone fueled teenagers. Looked violent as shit though, essentially a pro wrestling choke slam.

          A bit between friends is different.

          Fuck, I was a skater in school. I threw myself down a two story half pipe in a warehouse every weekend. I had bruises on top of bruises.

          Pain wasn’t new to me, cause man, I fucking sucked on a skateboard.

          Let me put it this way, the kid I gave a broken nose to was a wanna-be MS13 member at the time. Ran into him after high school - guess who was a member? I’m glad I had friends with me, and we outnumbered his crew. They backed down. I don’t know what they had, but we all carried knives - and at the time - were ready to use them. My late teen years were a little wild. He recognized me, and called them to back off.

          I guess getting the cops involved over a pool table in a bowling alley would have fucked up their bigger plans.

      I mean if school shootings are acceptable and there’s the chance for many many victims, America should quite happily accept CEO murders to continue.

        Why wait? CEOs are killing thousands through their decisions right now and even more later through their actions. Theres no time to waste waiting!

    All the companies I’ve worked for have said they’re more like families. Families fight sometimes. I think all of these matters should remain between family members.

      Everyone, if you’re stabbing someone don’t leave the knife in. It’s gonna block most of the bleeding and give the “victim” higher chances of survival

        Yeah, but you also have to have a plan. Human beings are both incredibly tough and fragile at the same time, as long as the brain is getting blood a hospital can save you.

        This is why if you stab a CEO you need to go for the neck and know where the arteries are. Heart is okay if you’ve got a real knife and know what you’re doing but it’s more effort than it’s worth otherwise, and the one thing that won’t work is stabbing them in the stomach ten times.

        Gut wounds were death in the Before Times before antibiotics, now it’s just unpleasant.

          Suddenly realizing the anti-education efforts of the Republican bunch, the Koch’s and all their ilk, is actually motivated by self-preservation. It’s harder to know how to kill your overlords if you never learn about anatomy to know what parts are fragile. For example, you’d never know that cutting the femoral arteries can be every bit as fatal as the carotids, or that when targeting the heart/lungs a knife blade in a vertical orientation would just get caught in the ribs, or that puncturing both lungs would also be extremely bad.

          A gut wound that reaches the abdominal aorta very well could be death, but how many people even know where it is?

          However, the carotid artery is both easy to access and difficult to repair in time. Not that I’m in any way condoning these terrible attacks.

            Yeah, the one issue is that human reflexes just naturally make people good at protecting their head and neck but if you want close up results and don’t want to point, click, and hope it’s your best bet.

              Most people forget under the armpits. That was always a better option historically over the neck. Usually necks are protected by gorgets, but the armpit has to be flexible.

              Can’t cover the armpits with solid armor like chests and necks.

                I was just about to say that the subclavian artery is nicely exposed when they lift up their hands to protect their neck. Also the femoral artery is a solid choice if you have a long enough blade. But that might take a bit of digging.
