A fine example of uncritical thinking. I wonder who she voted for in the last election.

Now she’s on rent-o-prison cell, hope it all works out for her.

I just appreciate that it’s a rental service - I don’t want to purchase a hitman full price if I’m only going to need him once or twice

It’s nice break from 50 years of misguided government incentives trying to encourage everyone to buy their own hitman, whether or not it made financial sense to do so, leaving many people underwater on their hitman payments.

She previously tried another site, but had no luck there either.

That’s starting to sound like a spin-off of Hotel California. You can check out, but you can never leave.

Yeah, that’s a clever line in a song, this however is reality.

Still, the Eagles will sue them for copyright infringement. :laughing:

Edited after @mister44’s deeply insightful correction on my typo. D’oh! :nerd_face:

It is NEVER a hit man. It’s always cops. Always. Unless you’re already mixed up with people who do sketchy shit for money, it is always cops.

Hmm… I’m curious to know the reason why she wanted her ex dead in the first place. Maybe he is a real piece of work?

So this woman was ready with the money, but at what point does planning or thinking about a crime become conspiracy? Serious question, I’m curious about how much online conversation about, say storming the capitol, could be used in court.

All of it. Because the insurrection happened.

It’s not a fantasy football league.

So… apparently this has been going on for a while? Like, hundreds of inquiries have been received through the website over the years?

Well they did write it and then produce many copies, so I can see how you’d think that. But it’s actually called copyright.

(Apologies, Pedant Pendant in operation.) :wink:

Agreed, but the people looking for such a service don’t need to know that.
