I didn't like this because of economic damage and needlessness for a bunch of firefighters to stop the spread. Should've just gone straight to the ceo

it took UHC 48 hours to pick a new CEO.

it will take them at least a year to replace that warehouse.

which do you think will have more impact?

now compound that impact if multiple warehouses have similar fates.

the working class is beginning to wake up and realize that the hegemony has always been teetering on collapse.

we don't need no water, let the motherfucker burn.

Read in an internet comment, so take with a grain, but he apparently had a multistage plan. Started a small fire, fire dept came to deal with it, and company brass had them turn off fire suppression to limit unnecessary damage to product in other areas. It was then that they lit a bunch more fires, and by the time the figured it out, it was too late.

fucking beautiful.

improvise, adapt, overcome

uh huh, now dozens of his coworkers don't have a paycheck. Mission accomplished, I guess. If he really ruled, he would have left the door open.

y'all children know that unemployment is a thing, right?

Sure, but where will they ever find a job working in a warehouse in California again?

Not only that, Trump also pardoned nearly 1,600 hard criminals that violently attacked a federal building on January 6th.

Not just hardened criminals, fucking pedophiles.

Andrew Taake tried to fuck a kid

Kyle Travis Colton had a bunch of child porn

Daniel Tocci had a child porn collection that would make Nobuhiro Watsuki blush

Andrew Paul Johnson molested kids

David Paul Daniel fucked kids and filmed it

And maybe more! I'll keep searching

Will be curious to see where the case is tried. If the warehouse is deeply unpopular in the local community, they may file for a change of venue.

Yeah, I'm definitely curious to see how this plays out.

It’s the only place you can raise funds for legal defense of this kind. They are literally the ones hosting Luigi Mangione’s legal defense as gofundme refuses. If you know a better one enlighten us but this man needs a legal defense fund.

co-workers already weren't getting pay checks that's why he sent the place on fire they hadn't been paid in months.....

This doesn't make much sense. If my employer didn't pay me for months, the only reason I'd stay is if it was a great company that I loved and believed in. Even then, I have hard time believing a company could make this sort of arrangement in California.

....also-if what you're saying is true-then the company was a hair breadth away from bankruptcy. Someone burning down the warehouse could have been a best case scenario for everyone but the insurance company.

Not corruption, per say. This is a fatal flaw of any democratic institution. You need to be seen doing your job or people will assume it isn't getting done. So more and more of the job of an executive level official is marketing yourself. Everyone who isn't running around cutting their own promos is setting themselves up for defeat against someone who does.

I'm always defending politicians, so… no, just kidding, I'm not. But I will offer a more sympathetic explanation not from experience, just from my hindquarters.

If there were three different people in power who are all independently upset about a crime, I could imagine each of them figuring out what the suspect did in their jurisdiction. That’s to fight back personally as well as to have a story for the next town hall when someone includes the crime in a long list of places why $currentCity has gone down the tubes over $longPeriod

So then have these three separate cases because everyone felt disrespected and wants a billboard, “don’t mess with us“. Maybe it wasn't very relevant that the perp scraped a mailbox while peeling out of the scene of the crime, but is that a reason for the postmaster not to have his friends from the US postal inspection over? :)

Only if you piss off the rich. A good example is Ted Bundy. Murdered non rich people in 4(?) different states, a situation where it would make complete sense the federal government would be bringing the charges because the crimes weren't all within the jurisdiction of just one state... Yet no federal charges were brought against him, they left it to the states.

That would have been so very high profile back then. Did the lack of federal charges tick everybody off? Just wondering if anyone was going for a “let's play this out through all of the four courts and that'll be enough” game plan, or if it was ineptitude, focus elsewhere, your explanation, etc.

Also has that happened in recent history within the past couple of administrations? If you know

The sentiment is right, the channeling of the anger is wrong

Ppl breathed that right

Downsides exist, expect that comment to be +10/-10 but it’s +1/-19 right now

Risk to working-class firefighters who may not be willing activists… authoritarian pushback (bag checks every time like Amazon warehouses)… room for debate here y’all

Edit: Wait, were there literally thirty innocent humans in that building?

And still not one goddamn Epstein Rapist has been arrested. But we're gonna throw federal and state charges at a guy for fighting back? This country is fucking ridiculous.

At least six people have been arrested so far. Epstein, Maxwell, Mountbatten-Windsor, Mandelson, Rod-Larsen, and Jagland.

Burning down a warehouse full of non-recycled toilet paper isnt really cool. I dont get it. That is so much literal forests that burn for no reason, also a lot of toxins released.

I don't really know if a legal defense fund makes sense. He filmed himself committing the crime and admitted to it. This has got to be the most unavoidable verdict ever, right?

Is that the location that was doing bad? Because the company has been around since 1872 and is a fortune 500 company with annual revenue over 20 billion.

In my personal opinion (anecdotal and possibly wrong) I feel like we had a period of a few decades where there was not so much of a state/federal governments not getting along. Unlike today where you have the FBI blatantly taking cases out of states hands and trying to not allow them to have evidence as we are seeing in say Colorado or California. Jimmie Carter would have been president when Bundy was caught in Florida. I think there may have been a trust in the states to deal with it. Floridas government very much was trying to take pride in the fact that they would execute him from what I know of the case, but I was born in the late 80s so I wasn't around for the the arrest and public reaction in 78'. Someone else may be able to shine light on the differences between how it was portrayed to be handled after/now vs how it was taken by the public then.

Fair point, although he should get a state appointed representative regardless, right? I just am not sure whether having the best lawyer in the world or a literal sock puppet will make a difference now. Either way he's looking at 10 years for sure. Idk though, I guess 10 vs 20 seems achievable and would be pretty worth it...hmm yeah I think I'm more with you now

State appointed lawyers are garbage because they keep them very overloaded. A good lawyer always makes a difference because our system is set up to be more lenient on people with money

It means not everybody will take the same course of action that you will some people will continue trying and hoping that they'll finally get paid considering they've got all this time sunk into it it's called the sunken time fallacy actually....

Despite whether or not they actually will and who knows the motivations of the management of that particular Warehouse on why they weren't getting paid or what was happening it's easy enough for us to speculate as arm chair quarter backs.

So we have to go off of what we have available is and we have the video of the person who set the fire openly stating exactly why so let's just go with that how about that. At least until new information that's becoming available otherwise all we're doing is speculatig bullshit.

Idk how accurate any of it is, but looked at several articles that claimed the fire suppression system was working but insufficient (statement from fire chief)

My guess at this point would be that the warehouse shelving design was actually preventing effective use of sprinkler systems by protecting the fire and being too dense to allow the system to be effective.
