Corporate Killers
If you haven't heard, a building being prepared for demolition collapsed onto another building yesterday in Philadelphia, killing at least 6 people and wounding 14.
However, since this story doesn't have to do with Muslims, gays, the word "Benghazi" or the IRS acting like a lawless modern day Nazi SS by scrutinizing the applications of political organizations applying for tax-exempt status, my guess is the media will spend more time discussing Paris Jackson's alleged suicide attempt then investigating what actually happened here.
This is both typical and tragic, because while these 6 people didn't die at the hands of any evil brown people, and so far even Matt Drudge can't find a way to link this to President Obama, all early indications are that these people died solely because the company hired to demolish a building in a major city refused to follow the federal regulations to do so. In fact their work was so shoddy that most eye witnesses stated they could plainly see a collapse was bound to happen, and that the demolition company was using all the precaution of a toddler in a ball pit.
Granted, all the facts are not yet known, and I realize there is no 10 second video of the event the media can play on an endless loop with some ominous apocalyptic backdrop. Still, it's disturbing that while a couple of nutcases with firecrackers and a pressure cooker can shut down a major city and dominate the national media for days on end, what appears to be a blatant case of corporate criminal negligence leading directly to the the horrific death of 6 people (TWICE the number of Boston Marathon fatalities) garnishes little more then a yawn.
If only people understood that the real threat to their everyday lives and the lives of their children is not terrorism, but lawless corporations choosing to ignore regulations because of toothless regulatory agencies and our refusal to imprison corporate killers.
