BlackROCK you where supposed to shoot executives from BlackROCK!

God what a fuck-up.

Edit: I'm an uneducated dipshit and thought he shot an executive from a company that makes grills.

I mean, yeah, but Blackstone is absolutely not a “good” company. They’re a MASSIVE corporate residential landlord, which is a thing that should frankly be outright illegal.

TL;DR: she was a valid blueshell target.

TIL: there are two Blackstone's, this one does not make grills.
