    You almost never reach the people that are in control. They sit behind layers and layers of institutional protection, physical walls and rows of people with guns.

    Demonstrations, protests, hostage takings. Always inconveniences the common people more directly than the elites in charge.

    That’s what’s so interesting about recent news… it actually reached the CEO

      Isn’t technology grand? Everything from the shooter probably watching youtube to learn how to hand-cycle rounds to the likely digital surveillance to know the CEO’s schedule.

        Powerful technology makes full defense nearly impossible, and offense much easier. It’s why guerrilla forces can strike hard against the most powerful militaries on earth; why no tank armor can ever withstand handheld weapons; why mutually assured destruction is the only strategy against nuclear armed nations.
