Boeing whistleblower found dead in US
bbc.com

John Barnett had worked for Boeing for 32 years, until his retirement in 2017.

In the days before his death, he had been giving evidence in a whistleblower lawsuit against the company.

Boeing said it was saddened to hear of Mr Barnett's passing. The Charleston County coroner confirmed his death to the BBC on Monday.

It said the 62-year-old had died from a "self-inflicted" wound on 9 March and police were investigating.

In case you think we're any better than the Russians.

No, it is not a corporation protecting its bottom line that makes us no better, but the inevitable lack of response from the US "justice" system. Just like with Epstein.

This is the norm in Russia, it's not in the US. Both sides are not the same. I can't seem to remember the last time any president had someone they didn't like pushed out of a window or had their tea poisoned on the regular. If Trump gets elected obviously that will change but to say that we aren't any better is wild.

Especially after killing political rivals like Navalny (and all the failed attempts). When is the last time we saw that in the US?

Epstein

go ahead and pack your bags, the door to Russia is wide open

Boy, this town sure does have gang violence like that town over there!

Why don't you go live over there, then?

What a stupid pointless argument. What does that even mean?
