News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Man this guys got some balls coming forward after they literally shot the other guy in the fucking head fml
There's some definitive "do it, you won't" energy here.
Which to be fair, it would look really bad for Boeing if this guy "committed suicide" too. To the point it might actually be safer to be the second guy.
Boeing isn't worried about "looking bad". They'll kill this whistleblower too if they get the opportunity.
There's no way whoever ordered the hit the first time (assuming it really was an ordered hit ... and it probably was) individually is going to want that heat.
It's one of those things that "if one of your acquaintances dies, it's plausible it really was an accident like you said. If people who hangout with you keep dropping ... a lot more eyes are looking at you."
It's probably not a true "company" position to murder whistle blowers, but somebody presumably thought it was in their own best interest.
Never underestimate the profound arrogance of a corporate executive.
And lobbyists and unlimited funds...
Heh, "executive".
I'm thinking maybe a shareholder that lost a lot of money
That seems plausible
They would have to be extraordinarily blatant to murder two people. One person they can get away with, but two people, probably not.
I dont know how much more blatant the last murder could be....
If anything, it only emboldened them to see how little anyone cares
I mean, it could have been a LOT more blatant.
But I agree on your second point.
It's gotten almost zero real public attention.
