NJ Man Hired Online to Firebomb, Shoot at Homes Gets 13 Years in Prison – Krebs on Security

Patrick McGovern-Allen was the subject of a Sept. 4, 2022 story here about the emergence of “violence-as-a-service” offerings, where random people from the Internet hire themselves out to perform a variety of local, physical attacks, including firebombing a home, “bricking” windows, slashing tires, or performing a drive-by shooting at someone’s residence.

You are correct. The stuff we see on a seemingly daily basis is mind numbing. These things, such as the thread starter's topic and the event in Maine never happened just a handful of years ago. Our society is imploding.

IMO, we went soft. There is no real consequences anymore for doing dumb stuff. So, common sense is never learned. We spend all our free time on video games killing people. So, there's no value to other's lives. And religion is all but gone. So, few are afraid of what might happen in the afterlife. I'll leave it at that and step off my soapbox before someone starts throwing tomatoes.

I'm aware. Was sort of a blanket statement that I didn't feel would cause an issue. Will edit it out if you'd like.

We'll be okay. It's a friendly reminder, so let's just accept your thoughts and not discuss them in depth regarding those two subjects.
