When Insurance Karma Gets Deadly: A Sarcastic Take on the New York CEO Shooting




New York, NY — The whole world watched as an irate customer gunned down an insurance company CEO in New York. Sure, murder is a crime (we all agree on that, right?), but let’s not pretend the motivation came out of thin air. Apparently, this customer felt the insurance company had been a tad… let’s say, less than honest.


For those not in the know, there’s a curious little rule in personal injury lawsuits: juries aren’t told that an insurance company will foot the bill. Why? Because everyone knows insurance companies excel at one thing—collecting premiums like clockwork. Paying claims? Eh, not so much.


You’ve seen the commercials. Nice, friendly spokespeople assure us we’re “in good hands.” What they don’t show is the dark side: armies of lawyers and a well-oiled machine designed to delay, deny, and defend against paying out claims. Oh, you’ve got an airtight, 100% bulletproof case? Congrats, they’ll grudgingly pay—because they have to, not because they’re feeling generous.


Now back to the unfortunate CEO. While it’s only a matter of time before the shooter is caught and punished, this incident has sparked a broader conversation. Suddenly, the insurance industry is grappling with a harsh truth: their relentless mistreatment of customers might someday lead to more than court battles and bad Yelp reviews. Social media is ablaze with people saying what they’ve always wanted to: “Insurance companies deserve what they get.” Not exactly the PR spin they were hoping for.


But let’s be realistic here. Are we about to witness a wave of kinder, gentler insurance companies with hearts of gold? Yeah, no. What we’re more likely to see is an uptick in armed security guards and fortress-like insurance buildings. After all, the industry knows its reputation—and it’s not exactly inspiring hugs and goodwill.


So, while murder is never the answer, this event has shone a light on the deep resentment many people feel toward insurance companies. Maybe it’s time for the industry to rethink its priorities. Or maybe they’ll just double down on the security budget and hope for the best.


In any case, one thing’s for sure: those warm and fuzzy insurance commercials are going to feel a whole lot more hollow from now on.

Chicago Cops Slammed with Sudden Ban on the Sig/Sauer P320—And the Officers Will Pay thePrice

In a move that’s rocking the rank and file, the Chicago Police Department has abruptly banned the use of the once-trusted Sig/Sauer P320 pistol as an authorized duty weapon. The order came down swiftly, leaving thousands of officers scrambling. The official reason? Alarming reports that the weapon can fire without the trigger being pulled. For years now the gun-maker has brushed off horror stories about negligent discharges, usually blaming human error. After all, it’s easier to blame the gun than admit to a deadly mistake. Just think back to Alec Baldwin’s tragic shooting on a New Mexico movie set—he insisted he never pulled the trigger, yet a woman lost her life. But experts were quick to point out that the revolver in question simply doesn’t fire on its own. This, however, isn’t Hollywood. The Sig Sauer P320 has a documented pattern of discharges—many occurring while holstered. Lawsuits are piling up, and the manufacturer continues to deny fault, but the incidents are too numerou...

A 40 Caliber Nightmare Is Caught On Tape.

So you’re confident that that .40 caliber S&W service round will keep you safe. Maybe you’ll have second thoughts after you see this video. One hot summer night in 1994 Tempe and Mesa Arizona police were involved in a pursuit with this suspect who ran into a stranger’s apartment to hide after being shot TWICE in the chest. He was shirtless and you can see the blood pumping out of those two wounds. What’s really frightening is just how agile this fellow is as he struts to the ambulance. If he was not handcuffed and had a knife or a gun, ask yourself if he could still hurt you, your partner or a hostage? If your jurisdiction demands that officers carry either the 9MM or the .40 Caliber S&W it’s time to show this video to your bosses and lobby to have the .45 ACP round authorized. The switch may well reduce the screaming by self-appointed community activists about how many rounds police had to use on a suspect. The really talented and courageous video journalist, Karen Ke...

America Will See Its Worst Race Riot Yet This Summer

Star Prosecution Witness, Rachel Jeantel Sanford, FL —Yes, the George Zimmerman trial here has thousands of African-Americans getting ready for some serious bloodletting. I don’t want to make idle and dire predictions but this nation has never been so divided and racially sensitive.  Our African-American President took sides on this case at the very beginning.  That ratified a George Zimmerman guilty verdict in the minds of millions. There’s just one little problem, and that is the murder case should have never been filed.  It was filed purely for political reasons despite the fact that it was a simple justifiable homicide.  Zimmerman was on the block watch lookout program and followed a suspicious Trayvon Martin after he used an improper entrance to a gated community.  Zimmerman was acting as the eyes and ears of the Sanford Police Department. Martin did not like being followed and knew that he could easily beat up the out-of-shape...
