What in the f***? How do you even come to find something like this?

Fargo season 1 was awesome. Season 2 not so much. Season three 5 episodes in just plain sucks.
I liked them all except for season 4 (the Chris Rock season). That one was just OK. I guess I'm easily entertained. The first season was great though. Lorne Malvo was a fantastic character. Season 2 had the tie-in to the Hanzee character.
 
Oh man, you have to go so I can live vicariously through you :laugh:. Just seeing one of those dinosaurs must be incredible. Even if the fishing sucks, drinking beer on a boat for several hours is still a hell of a day.

Dungeness crab is my favorite. Consider me jealous.

You can only keep a certain size. Something like in between 44and 60 inches but the Columbia river is loaded with them below the Bonneville dam. Can only catch one a day but it seems highly likely. I’ve seen pics of the ones that are 7 feet. Unreal
 
So they caught Luigi "Man-gina"....

A McDonald's in Altoona...last place I would want to be caught in if I was a fugitive. I would be having tacos in Mexico...
 
I like the internet where people watch too many movies & the first 24-48 hours or so they had this guy as some like John Wick type of person. In reality he was just a run of the mill crazy person.

I wouldn't necessarily characterize him as crazy. Too much of a pedigree and priviliged life (rich background). Was popular and highly educated. Also too premeditated...

"Crazy" in a sense that he took his gripes with the insurance industry to an extrajudicial level and ruined his life and that of the CEO and his family. Tragically senseless....but he apparently said in his 3 page manifesto "it had to be done."

If Embiid killed Marcus Hayes....I'm sure some people would say the same thing....sadly.

Ahhh ok! I was like damn, the next season doesn't start again until March, that's crazy. Yeah, the one bad thing about ice is the late start times. Summers aren't too bad when since there aren't any youth leagues going on, but our first game of the new season doesn't start until 10:40. That shit is too late.
We play tomorrow, only got 6 so far… I see you haven’t decided just yet if you’re playing.

But still not a professional killer if there really is such a thing. Anybody with some type of grudge strong enough can kill an unknowing target.

Oh yeah...he was fairly amateur but he did accomplish his mission as tragically misguided as it was...

Right, he had a Mangionefesto...

It’s odd. Dude was a terrible shot but had no problem clearing his malfunction. There was almost no hesitation in realizing what happened, then clearing, then bad firing again.
That and choosing to shoot from 10’ away rather than point blank. The ceo had no clue he was there.

You can still be rich and privileged and be crazy. See John Du Pont.

Although 'crazy' in this shooting sense of just having someone 'off' with you that has your brain decide an extreme course of action is perfectly acceptable.

I knew somebody would bring up DuPont. That dude def had a few loose screws. My contention is that this Man-Gina chap while going off the deep end strikes me more as a vigilante type bc of how premeditated he was. Having said this..anybody that revels or is immune to taking lives...has a pathology for sure.
 
Seems like he had a back &/or neck surgery after a surfing accident. The surgery didn’t go well & that appears to possibly be the catalyst of his mindset.
The Spiccoli Syndrome...

Btw...find it kind of amusing that the NYPD and FBI were upstaged by a regular shmo McDonald's worker....lol

As someone who went through back issues for 18 months, I can attest that it does mess with your mental health. I developed anxiety and depression over it that i'm still working through even after the back pain subsided. Having to deal with insurance making life harder during that would have really f***ing sucked.

Probably unpopular opinion around these parts but I have zero sympathy for Brian Thompson. Thousands of people die every year because UHC denies coverage at a higher rate than any other insurer. Their use of A.I. to review and deny claims also doubled under Thompson's watch. Not to mention the fact that he was being investigated for insider trading that netted him over $10 million. He's a villain. The shooter belongs in jail but i'm all out of f***s to give about these white collar villains.
