minus-square@CaptainSpacemanlinkEnglish12•2 months ago6 people poisoned in a hotel room and 2 are Americans. This is kinda different, right?
minus-square@ccunninglinkEnglish7•2 months agoI’d say that you’re right - most Americans that die abroad are not members of groups poisoned in hotel rooms. But it also doesn’t appear at first glance like these folks were targeted because they were US citizens.
minus-square@CaptainSpacemanlinkEnglish2•2 months agoMore news came out, the murderer is one of the 6 and was also one of the 2 US citizens. Would that qualify for FBI intervention/assistance?
minus-square@ccunninglinkEnglish2•2 months agoNot sure. Last I saw was about the tea party and it being over an investment in Japan gone awry but the details beyond that were fuzzy. To clarify, my point was not that the FBI shouldn’t be involved; but the fact that they were involved made it seem like there was more to the story.
