They just updated it to say the 98 year old co-founder died “because of stress related to the raids.”

RIP… This is tragic and unbelievably criminal. The FBI should absolutely be involved at this point. That whole police department needs to be held responsible.

An article about someone’s DUI and personal life is trashy and lame. Its like when newspapers used to out gay men.

I’m sick of waiting for America to collapse. Let’s speed this up, whatever the ending is for America’s “freedom”, we are just wasting time pretending we aren’t passed a point of repair of our social collapse. The longer society doesn’t fight corruption the stronger corruption becomes. I’m convinced only common men and woman making war can make a change now. Corrupt people aren’t going to save you.
