- Comment on FTC withdraws its in-house challenge to Microsoft’s Activision Blizzard deal 1 year ago:
Consumers are losing here no matter what happened. Either MS buys AB and we get a more consolidated industry, or they don't, and we either continue with the shit show that is AB right now until TenCent buys them an consolidates them in a different, likely worse, more anti consumer way.
The real fault here is the greedy fuckers on the AB board who refused to change leadership after years of toxic mismanagement and instead steered the company towards sale territory for their own gains. Without their will to fix the company there was never a chance for another outcome.

YORK COUNTY, Maine —
Three people accused of breaking into a home and threatening the resident were allegedly asked to do so by a landlord.The York County Sheriff's Office was called to a home on Acton Ridge Road over the weekend.
The resident told authorities a large group of motorcycles had arrived at her home and some of those bikers were trying to force their way inside.
Officials say three men kicked in the door to her apartment and began to threaten the woman inside. Investigators say they later learned the landlord of the building solicited the men following a landlord-tenant dispute.
Jessie Manchester, Christopher Moreau and Harley Faires were all charged with burglary and criminal threatening.
The men were arrested but have since been released from jail. Officials have not said what the dispute between the landlord or tenant was, or if the landlord is facing charges.

I'm not accusing anyone of anything, the cops are.
Also, let's be clear that the burden of proof for an arrest is =/= to the burden of proof for indictment. If investigators are comfortable telling the press the landlord solicited goons to threaten a tenant then it is far from a stretch to think they should at least arrest the landlord.

This is fair. This was just the only community I had knowledge of that would care about this news with a higher degree of specificity.

Maine landlord solicited men who broke into apartment, threatened resident, deputies say
I don't claim to be a York County Deputy so I'm not here to make the accusation myself, but I do claim to be a guy who can read just below a headline and can see that according to the article, the York County Sheriff's department deputies did in fact make that accusation.
