Say it aint so roderick! I hope private companies don't become hacked off the left-libertarian axe! All hail private property! “apparently a private company rather than the government, though I don’t know how sharp that distinction is”

It would be a marvelous reminder not to show your hated enemies any mercy. Merely defeating them and executing them isn't enough.
