move along folks, nothing to see here
Just like those people who shoot themselves in the back of cop cars with their hands cuffed behind them.
“Open and shut case Johnson. Sprinkle some crack on him and let’s get out of here.”
How do you upload gifs in lemmy comments? 😮 mine got converted in a pic
If yours got converted, then the server you’re using, doesn’t support drag and drop gifs.
Instead of drag and drop, upload the gif to some other server, that allows such stuff and use that link in theformat as given by @Riccosuave@lemmy.world.You just use the image link format like this:
yea he committed suicide by flying Boeing
Let me guess, he shot himself in the back 6 times?
“Yeah Barnett’s head just happened to be in the same direction of couple bullets.” - Boeing
So its either presured into suicide by lawsuit from Boeing or murdered and made to look like suicide. Either way its fucked up.
America is a very grim place.
Same as most other whistleblowers are die because of suicide, accident or a sudden and strange illness, by system.
well thats weird
I read the article and I have one outstanding question. Is this the same guy who stated he is not suicidal days before?
People contemplating suicide tend to do that. They put on a false front, saying that they’re okay when they really aren’t.
Couple that with a bad session in front of the appeal judges… and yeah. You can see why he did it.
A 7-year legal battle to overturn his loss of the lawsuit against Boeing for their retaliation over his whistleblowing… And it was looking like the final appeal, his final chance, was slipping away.
If this is really the case, this should still be considered murder by Boeing
As evil as Boeing is, you have to give John Barnett his agency. He made that final choice.
Boeing and an arcane legal system may have driven him to it, but he was the one who made that choice.
“What about this note that says, ‘If I die, it wasn’t suicide’?”
“That’s still technically a suicide note.”
i mean, to be fair, i would’ve done the same fucking thing ngl. Fuck boeing.
At press time, a spokesperson for Boeing remarked that the company expects this to be the end of this matter if the investigators know what’s good for them.
The bullet that killed him matched the gun in his hand, like okay that’s fair. But they use that as the justification for suicide. Like, of course if you want someone to look like they killed themselves you would use a gun and place it in their hand. Didn’t we learn about this kind of basic subterfuge in our teenage years watching TV/Movies.
Whistleblowers risk their entire reputations and careers in the pursuit of doing the right thing and stopping corporations from committing crimes. Isn’t that the opposite of wanting to kill yourself? Courage in the face of tremendous opposition??
Also in spite of what we learn on TV, matching a bullet to a gun is mostly junk science.
Uh-huh.
