Bomb Explodes At PayPal Headquarters

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the disgruntled-customers dept.

Pooua writes to tell us that an explosive device left outside of PayPal headquarters exploded last night. The explosion was powerful enough to knock out one of their plate glass windows but thankfully that was the only casualty of the blast. Perhaps they should have offered employee protection instead?

    What's this garbage? And linking to a story about how PayPal is going to "suck less?"

    There's black comedy and there's black comedy, and the latter kind implies that your sympathies lie with the perpetrators. Do you think, maybe, this is a bad way to start an article?

    Good one, Pooua.

    Almost as brave as dropping bombs from the sky far above surface to air defenses on targets who have already had their air forces destroyed? Or maybe as brave as declaring war when neither you nor your family are in the military?

    At least the guy who did this has to be worried about a large, well funded, high tech government using its resources to track him down and capture him. As someone who has onc or twice considered going into illicit buisness, I can tell you, it takes something more than the bravery I have to disregard that.

    Then again, maybe he doesn't care. Its not really brave if you don't feel you have anything to lose.

    You're all psychopaths. We have a legal system in this country that is still extremely viable for collecting damages if you have been defrauded. Oh, I forgot, as one person said, the amount of damages aren't worth going to court over, BUT TRYING TO BLOW UP AN INNOCENT PERSON TO ALLAY YOUR FRUSTRATION -- well, sure, that's what bombs are for! You know, there's a terrific country called Iraq that you should consider moving to. There, whenever you get frustrated, either at the government, or the Americans, or the Sunnis or the Shiites, you can just kill people a bunch of random people with a bomb, and it's considered socially acceptable. You'd fit in great!
