when in doubt, blame the subcontractor.

supplier, but whatever.

As I said ...succesful local company. Changes business model to franchise and explosive growth. Grows so fast everyone says "wow , really?" ...then changes name for un-named reasons. Then announces big bad capitalist bastards are ruining our lives. The outcome was inevitable.

Who is to blame? No clue. It was just obvious where we were headed not why

To much BS in this story since it happened. First they said they can't find the shooter, now they can't say if the person/suspect is in jail because of age.
