I cannot, simply cannot, believe that in such a broken society with so many guns and so much fetishism of revenge and violence that no one ever walks in to a cop shop with an AR and starts dumping ammo to avenge their dog. I just can't believe it. You'd think people would be John Wicking a rural cop department every week, but it never happens.

I also don't understand how insurance company offices remain generally unmolested

Landlords are really the ones that surprise me. Much more real then the other two faceless entities. People actually see their landlord (sometimes, tbf). The bastard who keeps increasing your biggest expense. Who doesn't fix the house you live in. Who invades your privacy and doesn't let you hang up pictures. And yet you hardly ever here about someone snapping on one.

almost always the other way around in fact

One of the most infuriating thing about mass shooting in the US is that if they HAVE to happen, they should in a corporate boardroom, not a school

Seriously. No distressed widower has shot up United Healthcare after their wife died? None??

Samesies. Some bean counter just murdered your loved one. And no one takes revenge?

Same, I guess they only shoot dogs that belong to cowards or something /s joking

I suspect if anybody did that the "arrest" of the shooter would be an execution. Not only that. They'd use about 5 swat teams like a fire department in a five alarm fire. They'd shoot him like 187 times in about a dozen seconds. And then a huge number of his family and relatives would die in "suicides" in the next few years. Sometimes they'd somehow shoot themselves in the back of the head. Repeatedly.

In retrospect it's very surprising to me that in Rambo First Blood Stallone lays waste to not only the cops but to their station too but after it came out I don't remember lasting anger in the mainstream media about that. I'm sure some critics were incensed. But nobody paid much attention to them. Stallone understands his audience really well.
