    What do they plan to accomplish with this?

    Remind them that we can burn their house down with them inside or shoot them in the face. They’re just sacks of meat like anyone else.

    I feel like the implication here is obvious so I’m not sure what’s confusing to you about it.

      This is actually why I think we should bring back the old tradition of pieing corrupt politicians and public figures. The humiliation is only half of the message. The other half of the message is “this could have been a weapon, and you only continue to live because I chose a pie instead. Your security needs to win every time, but we only need to touch you once.”

      Like the ex CEO of United Healthcare Brian Thompson?

      Hate the break it to the keyboard warriors on here but if people out there wanted to do things like that then it would have already been done. How many big offenders in the Epstein files have been hunted down and shown how vulnerable they are?
